I was 10. Across the street from us lived two beautiful twins. Dark hair, eyes as blue as robin’s eggs, long legs. They were older and usually hung out with my brother, but maybe he was sick that day or something, because it was just the twins and me in the theatre—two ravishing girls and in between them a kid with the biggest grin in the history of mankind on his stupid face. I was glowing radioactively. Jackie Wilson’s “I Get the Sweetest Feeling” was a hit I remember. Everything aligned, and the universe sang to me a little.
