In the school hallway, we tried to spot Jane Ritzo, who supposedly went on the
pill her sophomore year. She went on the pill for Grady Whittle, lead guitarist in
The Balloon Farm. The Balloon Farm played at every high school dance, every
Teen Canteen, every backyard Sweet Sixteen. Jane Ritzo went on the pill as a
gift to Grady is what we heard. She put a bow on the pill packet and gave it to
him. Now they were seniors. We had never heard of anything so fine and
generous. When we managed to spot her in the hallway, we speculated about
those pills. We pictured them, one by one, on her tongue, going down.
