12 years old
Doing my paper route
On my bike
A guy drives up to me
Across from the American Martyrs rectory
And asks
"Do you know where Hill Street is?"
Hill Street Blues was probably on TV
Because that's the only thing that came to me
"I don't think there is a Hill Street in Manhattan Beach"
I said
And he said
"Has anyone ever told you
You're an arachnid?"
"What?"
"Has anyone ever told you
What an attractive boy you are?"
