	She stood before me. Her eyes reflected the flames as
they rose from what once was the prudential building. She started
to say something, but stopped with her mouth half open and shook
her head. She turned her head away slowly to glimpse what might
have been the last upheaval of commonwealth ave as it opened up
to swallow anything foolish enough not to get out of it's way.
She bit her lip for only a moment as she searched the tangled
wires protruding from the sheared base of a lamppost for
something she seemed unable to locate. Then she looked back to
me, gently brushing the coarse dust from the hair covering her
ear, waiting to hear it fall to the ground. I was able to
overhear her say something about OK I can have another chance
cause she thinks that it was a mistake, and it's OK she'll try
and it'll be OK don't worry. She smiled briefly as the dumpster
overturned and began rolling towards the charles river, only to
shatter upon impact with the inside wall of the crevasse, with
fragments of scrap metal bouncing and scraping their way into
silence down the chute. I stepped over the splintered glass with
my remaining foot to kiss her gently on the cheek. Then she spoke
to me saying that it was like you know how it can be and how it
was like when now it seemed like you know how it's like and how
it was different like now it's like you know what I mean. I felt
like when like you know how like then it was like I felt when
like you know before like when it was like you know like the way
it was like before when like you know and I felt like the way I
feel when it's like you know like how I feel like when you like
you know like when it's like before when like it's like when like
it was like it was like. She took my hand and gently led me over
the charred remains of what could have previously described as a
building that could have conceivably held what might have been
tenants if there were anything resembling what might be called
apartments. We made love that night on what might have been
previously a bed that was something that could have conceivably
be adequately described as something resembling a mattress for
lack of anything that in no way could ever be mistaken as
anything even closely similar to what you might perhaps call a
frame. It was like it was like when you know when like it's like
when it's like when you know how when it's like when like when it
was like when it was like how you know like how when like you
know how like that was like when like that when you know how when
like how it was like. 

	To the best of my recollection, that was how it was that
time as I remember it when it happened back then if my memory
serves me right is how it was that time when back then it
happened. I just thought I would tell you how it was back then as
I remember it happening at the time so I could tell you this
story about how it was and how I remember it the way it was back
then.
