Martha Plimpton was standing when I first saw her, blond strings unraveled from a tight nest of hair, whipping around in the wind.
Just in case Martha Plimpton might be outside, smoking a cigarette, the straight blond locks of her hair free in the dance of wind, I wanted to say hello.
Or maybe, and this seems the least likely, and I don’t mean specifically, but maybe Martha Plimpton was waiting for me. Not because she recognized my face the time I pretended she was flirting with me, when I dared myself to rise, step onto the stage and kiss her sweetly on her ashen cheek.
