"I write to find meaning in this journey through life, Tohe said.
Mermen Skin Bracer
During the first year I didn't have a boyfriend
until toward the end of the school year.
Having a boyfriend meant status and security
because you'd have someone to dance and sit zvith
at the movies
and walk back to the dorm with
afterwards.
Then I met Pierce.
Actually I didn't meet him
since just about everyone knew each other on campus.
Pierce was officially my first boyfriend
(I only had two).
I wasn't homely and I wasn't built like some of the others;
I matured late.
Maybe the guys were intimidated by me.
"She looks like she's smart" was what they said.
WJmt did they know?
1 was in culture shock for four years at the white public
school and never even made honorable mention
when grades were handed out.
1 couldn've if I tried,
but there wasn't anybody interested.
So after awhile I stopped caring too.
Prior to the Indian School I was practically a straight "A"
student but that was when I lived at home.
Anyway Pierce asked me to dance
at one of those Friday night gymnasium affairs
they called a sock hop.
Mostly we danced country western,
The Wingate Valley Boys
Zuni Midnighters,
The Fenders, you know,
1 he Navajo stomp sound, heavy on the bass,
rah ja jin, rah ja jin.
So there I was on the floor
nervous because it's my first time with a boy.
"Okay, I'm ready," I thought, "to show off my stuff."
All those months of practicing with Mary Jean was
paying off.
We went round and round.
He led me toward the edge of the dance floor
and all evening I smelled Mennen Skin Bracer.
Well, we danced a few more times and
afterwards Pierce walked me back to the dorm.
Later I found out he'd left a trail of broken hearts
but that's another story.
That evening the smell of Mennen Skin Bracer
lingered for a long time on my hands.
And even now when I'm at the grocery store
in the cosmetic department.
I'll open a bottle of Skin Bracer and take a whiff
of my first dance.
