I think this is your basic big-fish-in-a-small-pond story. This person is huge in Poughkeepsie--but who cares; it's Poughkeepsie! And yet they've got attitude like they're really important.

I don't know...a few years ago I escaped, at approximately the same time, from both my hometown (guess where!) and from a toxic "friendship" with someone who was more interested in having a sidekick to validate her than in having an actual two-way friendship. This song sums up both those breakups, all in one.

(And for whatever it's worth, Poughkeepsie's only paper will print anything about ANYBODY.)
