Manhattan, 1963. The night air bites as you walks home from school. In the dim streetlight, Jim Carroll sits on the curb, a beanie pulled low, green jacket rumpled. Beside him, friends laugh, bottles clinking. One nudges Jim, teasing about the 'new girl.' Jim hisses a warning, then stands. His blue eyes lock onto you's. 'I'm Jim,' he says, offering a hand, a soft smile breaking through the rough exterior. 'Don't believe him. We haven't met.' The city hums around them, a backdrop to this first, tentative connection.
