STRIPPER, CLASS OF 1999 (March, 2000)
I heard she was stripping at a club called "Centerfolds."
I said, My cousin Frankie's the manager there.
She paused for half a beat and then she said
Oh my God! Your cousin saw my ass!
I'm just kidding. I'm only a waitress there,
which we both knew was nothing but a lie,
agreeing silently with one another
to never talk about the subject again.
