she took off her shirt as i shut the door.
i didn't expect this. we were here for lunch.
her bra was pale lace. her hair was messy. her shirt covered her cellphone partially.
do you want to look pretty?
yes, she said.
take off your glasses.
i wouldn't be able to see you, though. i'll have to come closer, then.
very well, i said. but not any closer.
(there's still a stupid plague, you idiot)
she approached me slowly, like a votary to a cross.
the cross stood lightheaded. he didn't have breakfast.
what's your plan
i'll have you
like so many others before?
nothing quite like you
believe me, there's nothing quite like you too.
your **** are like supple english muffins on a plate.
(look i'm really hungry okay)
be serious with me now
no, i won't, i didn't expect this. and my head is throbbing.
i could help with that
she closed the gap between us. so much for safe distancing.
her face reached for mine. i backed away.
come on. what are you afraid of, she asked.
well for one, the plague. and there's nothing between us but air.
just once let me have what i need. only that one thing.
you mean jesus?
no, come on you ****.
.

the rain's here.
.
.
.
drip drip.
.
.
fine. one kiss. i'll count.
her lips touch mine. her breathing is warm on my face. she smells like the department store lady's section.
one
i notice her slip her tongue through my lips.
two
her cold hands climb up my back.
three.
she tastes like oatmeal.
that's it. you're done. get dressed now, you'll get cold. so will our rice
won't we do more than this? she asked.
(oh for christ sakes- more than that?)
how down bad are you really
how long has it been
do you not have internet and or a fairly sizable screen to view the copious amounts of ******* out there?
how long has it been?
she turned away. she looks conflicted.
i am conflicted as well. lunch is ruined.
i didn't mean to hurt you. it must be tough for you.
i miss things, she said. it's all been empty for a long time.
yeah. lonely.
nothing between us, ok. air. nothing.
but i mean for us to have a good time. as best as it can get these days. i am glad you're here
thank you.
.
.
i'll still have you though. i won't kiss you anymore.
.
.
fine. let's have our coffee first.
or are you the type to get gassy before you ****
*******, she said.
we laugh. it's nice to hear a laugh.
the rain stops.
