Film night

The Other came out in 1972
You weren't born, and I was barely.

A Boy and His Dog dates from 1975
You weren't born, and I was toddling
In brown flares and a turquoise jumper.

In 1985, I watched The Quiet Earth
On a wheezing, steam-powered video recorder
Approximately the size of Luxembourg.
I may have had a mullet. And blond highlights.

You roll your eyes and tell me
I'm not that old. Not really. Not nearly.

So did you also have a mullet in 1985?

I had pigtails, of course.
