Desire

Three small scotches in, sad and tipsy at the bar, cataloguing the women on either side of me.

Kelly green bike shorts, a high braid, and suddenly I’m riding faster than I meant to.

I used to check my answering machine ten times a day. It was never about being important.

Every time a woman sends me a photo, my heart leaps – and I stop believing there’s something wrong with me.

I can’t take my eyes off the tiny blonde at Crunch. Every line I could open with sounds creepy — so I say nothing.

I’m surfing new relationship energy again, and the disappointments are half the thrill.

Gangbangs don’t turn me on. But I’ve been conjuring one for Margot, and I want a very particular seat at it.

Mostly I feel dead, and both my knees need replacing — then Margot, Jade, and an email from P out of the blue.

Anything I buy for you belongs to me as long as we know each other. I can see you in what I get you when I want, and I’d prefer you not wear them with other men while we’re involved.
