Rene asked me what I wanted for breakfast once, when her roommate was out doing something or another. She was seated on her twin bed, I was splayed out across the wooden floor. I liked the feeling of cool, flat surface against the hair on my back. I told her I wanted her, and she laughed. I didn’t smile. So she told me to wait and, when I’d been kept in the room long enough, she called me. I found her in the small kitchen, on the other side of the island, holding a plate of scrambled eggs and wearing nothing but a purple apron, hiding everything I wanted to see. I’d never really thought about it, beyond the arousal. She didn’t have to do anything. She could’ve just remained on her bed and cracked a joke, or some familiar sarcasm. We might’ve fucked in bed instead of in the living room. But she did something, something that brought me joy. And I never thought about it.

I will
I will do as I like to you. Treat you roughly, listen to my name shudder from your lips. Hold you to me afterward. And I will spend a lifetime searching.

A friend was once walking back from the store. He carried a brown paper bag and grinned like he’d just won the damn power ball. I found your girl, he told me. My girl? I asked. Yea, the one you’re always going on about, he said. I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. I hadn’t been right in the head about females since Rene. I asked him, Who’s this girl? She was pale, man. She was whiter than white. He spit on the ground as we walked to the office. Oh yea? I asked. Yea. Shorts up to here, I’m telling you. She was so pale I could see all her veins. So pale I could see her entirely circulatory system. Damn. Sorry I missed it, I said. He even added, But she was young, dude. Borderline. On the edge, saying it like he knew. I stopped caring and stared ahead as we walked. The geese had left a swath of their shit on the sidewalk. He got me thinking about wolves and fairy tales again. I’d been trying to forget for months. We were crossing the lawn to the building when he said, she wasn’t even white. She was blue. So white she was blue! And he laughed.

TMI
“You’ve been really TMI lately. What’s the matter?”
A beat. “I’ve just been horny, I guess. This is my kind of weather.”
“It’s gloomy as fuck.”
A beat. “I’m gloomy as fuck.”

Meet me at the ocean.
Meet me at the ocean. Don’t bother with footwear, there are no rocks. The water is freezing. Drowning is supposed to be agony. There are boulders there that have been there for thousands of years. They are black like my eyes from a distance. The waves will roll in. There might be rocks, but it’s fun to walk across them along the cliffs. We can sit there in the middle of the night and pretend we’re teenagers again. I’ll forget my jacket, I hope you don’t mind. You can have my t-shirt. I’m plenty warm, is what I will say. My stomach will stick out over my jeans. You’ll call it a furry footrest. The moon there is always out because we don’t get clouds any more. We’re going to fall and fuck up our knees, stupid teenagers. When you want to talk about mermaids I’ll be silent. You’ll suck in your breath. Sssssss. Your bared teeth will shine. Meet me at the ocean. When the lightning starts and the clouds appear we’ll go back. I won’t tell you about mermaids because it hurts to do so. I’ll be hungry, you won’t mind if we stop at the Taco Bell. I’ll buy two gross burritos. We’ll sit in your car and eat them. I’ll love you for doing that, eating a burrito with me. We’ll sit in silence for a while and then I’ll kiss the side of your face. I won’t show you Orion. We’ll stop being teenagers in the dark.
