where are the happy hours and golden showers and red red flowers that life promised me?
where are the lovely dresses and shimmering purses and heels that can kill the villain?
where are the cheerleaders and the top debaters and the head of the philatelic club?
where are the macho men and damsels in distress and the babies in their strollers?
where are the high school sweethearts and the three-way-calling til midnight?
where are the hideous PE shirts and even more hideous PE teachers and their whistles?
where are the families staying together and praying together forever and ever?
who broke the promises?
who made them in the first place?
