Oh, it was so romantic and he put it on his computer where I have my password taped that I look at every day and can't remember and I didn't ask for his, and I left it all up in the air where it should stay, and at times I can barely remember his name So the same, stepping lightly out over the abyss will I float or fall or float for awhile and then careen down to the ground and smash? And It was in the teacher's lounge and he still gave me that look of genuine interest that makes me sure he wonders what I look like naked, and I wonder if he's cute enough or if he'll be mean Because a lot of them are I've found and for some reason an early memory surfaces from a dinner long past with my boyfriend who I'd marry, and we were finding out about a dinner party me and my boyfriend who became my husband and what was to be served and the Madame said "Eet will be a fish and eet will be cold." And we laughed later and it was a cold fish but not fishy, and not good, because who wants to eat a cold fish in December in NewYork? And now my number is on a Post-it on his computer and I can only wait and see and I do admit I wonder what he looks like naked.
