Yesterday at Shanghai Yang’s, listening to my iPod, I encountered my braided, garlanded dream girl. She was eating noodles out of a styrofoam container. Her shift dress had turquoise feathers on it and dreamcatchers. Screwing my courage to my sticking point, I screwed up. By the time I approached her, she had faded into anonymity. I hope she uses Facebook! – Shaan
