Introductions
Now I had heard his name tossed around by my newfound group of friends. They always talked about him like he was some kind of enigma or junior high rock star or something. I can't precisley recall now if I was intrigued or indifferent about the prospect of meeting him.
For whatever reason my journeys had taken me to that park on that day surely for some lame adventure my unprecidented teen life promised. I was laying down on a big rock while the other kids babbled on and smoked butts. I'd forgotten about the stranger at the train station that had sparked my interest.
There had been a few new faces passing through that day, one older guy I'd heard about that resembled Jim Morrison, my current obsession. We swooned and carried on with our activities.
Then he came.
Red flannel shirt, jeans, long wallet chain, shoulder length dark wavy hair.
Keanu and Trent.
Ambience.
"Hey, you guys have any weed?"
Of course we didn't and he passed after a short conversation with one of us he was acquainted with.
And so I'd met him- sort of.
The news of meeting "Jim Morrison" that day was clearly the more exciting topic among myself and my girlfriends but somewhere in the back of my head was the satisfaction of my brush with my future.
