My 7th grade French teacher mrs haber had a sign on the class back wall in french which read
if youth but knew
If age but could
I thought it was the dumbest fucking thing. We all did. We thought Mrs haber was a weirdo. Old! 50? 55? Oh mrs haber, mrs haber I am sorry we mocked you in the bicentennial year
There was a girl in french named rhena i thought was so beautiful. Achingly belle just thinking of her name names e recalls how impossible it is that I could’ve not been a fool for love
In 1976 I loved comic books. But by 77 it was all over.
