about

before i even met alison yip, mark clintberg told me i would love her. we worked together at mcnally robinson, and i was immediately obsessed. i spotted her down the street one day, shortly after we'd become friends, and swore she was wearing riding pants and carrying a rider's crop. i gave her a photograph of an ornate palace hallway, over which i'd written "the alison yip school for girls" (along with some class signs: ENUNCIATION 101, GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DEBUTANTE BALL SEMINAR, etc). the song's dedicated to her, but doesn't really have all that much to do with her. she's the headmistress, but the real story is between one of her proteges and a young lad from the town outside of which the school rests atop a hill. by the end of the song, the girl's climbing out over the fence on one end of the compound while the guy's climbing in on the other side. they miss one another entirely. tsk.
