lauren beukes – zoo city, 14 (part 2) lyrics
“sorry, yeah, guys this my friend i told you about?” gio’s tone is loaded with things left unsaid. “zinzi december. we used to work together.” sleep together. take drugs together. it was a simple relationship, really
piercing girl scootches round to make sp-ce for us to sit on the plush velvet bank while gio does the introductions- the crème de la crème of musos in his immediate social circle, plus paisley shirt, better known as henry. dave is, as surmised, a news photographer for the daily truth, although he photographs gigs as well – mainly jazz, but he’s done oppikoppi for years in a row, plus the occasional feature for lifestyle magazines on the side. henry does social media at a below-the-lines agency, and a big part of his mandate is the music scene. gio invited him specially. “he’s the f-g to songwez’s hag.” he told me on the phone beforehand. “if anyone’s going to have the dirt on your girl, it’s henry.”
piercing girl is a hardcore music journalist when she’s not being a mom to a two year-old she calls toddlesaurus. “juliette writes for everyone,” gio says. “all the local mags, as well as billboard, spin, juke and clash.”
piercing girl/juliette rolls her eyes in a pleased fake modesty, which i take to mean its all true. “and what do you now, zinzi?” she asks sympathetically, learning forward, giving me the benefit of her full attention. it’s only three-quarters patronizing
