Her hair was white and his hair was greyer than Gandalf’s beard. “How did we meet, Siggy? asked Boris. Siggy laughed an obnoxious laugh and answered...: or ryost. Well you see, it all started out as a joke. You wore a varsity jacket, and I, the dazzling woman of my youth, I was the fresh and prudent fawn. I would be lying if I told you that you were the most handsome of men, because frankly you weren’t. But you cooked up the meanest hickory-smoked coal sausage I had ever tasted. I loved you for “Photo You Wish Was Real” of the week that. I was willing and unripe like a pear. I can remember a much younger self staring at the computer’s glossy screen; my dark brown eyes reflecting the word “Chatroulette”. It was there that we met. I wanted a man who could care for me. The kind of man who would draw math equations on the wall with me and read me Shakespearian verses in bed. You filled that gaping and wide void inside of me, Boris.

I asked you what you called yourself. You answered, “Epimetheus”. You told me you were the leader of your clandestine kin, you told me to call you the Spermatiferous Juggernaut. You explained to me how you were part of a breed of gentlemen devoted to the progression of civilization, and I knew then that you were the man for me.

And I knew you looked familiar. Your well groomed and commanding look had that natural hint of bold ath- leticism. You were a rough gem that needed only a bit of polishing. I was the shoe shiner, the gemologist, no… the precious stone polisher of your life.

I realized that it was your own boyish face I had stared at from across Upper Right at school. It was your face that I looked at through the mirror at strategic angles in Commons. Your face was the one I had drawn onto the erotic diagrams of male organs in my biology textbook during class. Verb of the week: But you told me that you went to Andover High. I asked why you had been in Commons. You told me you were hungry and the food was free. I knew I was just a cat boner to you, and nothing more. Yet still, my tingling hormones demanded that we meet in person. I wondered if society would accept us being together.

Superfluate: We walked alone into the sanctuary at dusk. Wolves and fisher cats howled into the night’s unforgiving cold. I told you I was scared. You told me that you were even more scared, because you would have to find your way out alone. To do something extra, more than necessary; the manner of going The next morning I awoke looking up into a bush. I laughed. You were so cute.
