It's hard to believe that Dirt McGirt is dead, right? One minute, the Dirty Bastard is rapping about zoos and hos and petty crimes, and probably swords and zombies, too, and then he has some kind of death-related incident which kills him. Baby, I've got your money.
     This morning I saw this girl and I almost had one of those subway in-your-head love affairs that lasts as long as a train ride, but something went wrong. First of all she was cute as houses, with a loose-weave cableknit sweater that poked out and cuffed her belted suede hip-length jacket. Her hair was all hacky layers that looked like they hadn't been washed in almost a week, which was great, and made up for the fact that the hair was too long. She looked kind of like Liv Tyler, except dirtier, and with normal teeth instead of Liv's round little chipmunkery choppers. Green wool skirt, big backpack filled with all the clothes she'd need for the trip back to mom's for the holidays. Aww, she was so sweet that I actually got all self-conscious about whether or not my mouth was hanging open Cletus-style. But then she ruined it all, she did. Ruined it by opening a copy of the fucking' New York Post. Eat crappy dicks. What a fucking disappointment. I had to switch my morning's amorous ADD attentions to the girl sitting across for me who was reading the real newspaper. She was plainer, but she was tall. That's always nice.
     I emailed the following story to the Metropolitan Diary section of the real newspaper. It's a cutesy slice-o-life column that runs once a week and is so disgustingly Upper West Side that at least one of the stories always involves Zabar's. If you don't know what Zabar's is, consider yourself lucky, if left out. Here goes.
STORY START
Last night, I'm in the back of a cab crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. We're trying to get into the right lane, but nobody will let us over, so I roll down my window and stick out my hand, palm facing backwards in a "please stay back a moment and let us in" gesture. A white minivan drops back, giving us enough room to move over, but wait a minute, this motorcycle is still in the way, and it's coming towards us instead of making way. It's a sporty Japanese bike, not a big flatulent American monster, but still, it's getting closer, and closer, and closer -- what is he thinking? Can he even see me? Am I in his blind spot? It seems like a collision is imminent, but somehow I can't move my arm out of the way. This is gonna hurt! Then the motorcyclist pulls neatly alongside, and matching our speed, reaches out his hand and touches mine.
     After thus making contact, he accelerates away along the dashed white line, and my cab pulls into the empty space in the right lane.
STORY END
     Anyway, this morning when I walked out of the deli with my artery-clogging b'fast sandwich, I held the door for and smiled at this girl who I've seen a million times -- she works in my building. But I'd never smiled at her before, and, well: WOW. She smiled back and her normally pretty face lit up like a sun. She looked fucking amazing. What a smile. It's kept me feeling good all day. Mmph!
