Number Five
Yesterday I chatted with Eltin online. First thing I've heard from him since he left on the 9th. It was all good. Fuck, fuck, fuck - it was all good! I was just so thrilled to have the opportunity to chat with him...my emotions got the best of me.
I had to walk outside and have a good cry. I don't know. I was just so overcome with emotion...
While sitting outside, a young man walked by. I saw him look at me. Then he did a doubletake. Then he stopped, tuned around, and walked back up to me.
"Are you married?"
"What?"
"Are you married. Just curious."
"No. Not anymore - thank god."
"Do you want a friend?"
(A friend!? Am I being propositioned by a male prostitute?)
"Do I want a friend?"
"Yea, a friend."
"No, I'm good. No. Thanks."
"How do I look to you?"
"You look good."
"I look good? Sure you don't need a friend?"
"Yea, I'm sure. Thanks."
"Ok."
"Peace, brother. Thanks."
