(high school)
many floors
the presence of a brother/lover
getting teased, "oh, chris and mat...!"
downstairs--
genius boy
with huge, orange irises
He wrote for the Onion,
had written a satirical piece about me
which I laughed at with everyone
I said, "You got some huge fuckin irises on you, you know that?"
musingly aware that he probably thought i was as coarse as i used to think my coworkers were at the burger joints etc.
