There was for example the Libra who gave sensible advice but chickened out at the last minute for the 2 a.m. cinnamon-rolls-and-coffee date at the Frontier and the schoolteacher who in retrospect probably should have used a phony name who sent nude photos of herself spread wide as day on what looked like a thrift-store couch and then disappeared into promiscuous obscurity and the other one who thought on that one date that I talked about green and red chile too much so she in turn talked about her ex too much and my food tasted suddenly bland and bitter while hers seemed to look better than ever to her so the waitress began to look better to me and so it went straight out the door like the final one before the chapter ended who thought that dating a white boy who wasn't in a gang was like way cool and toyed with me on a work night no less for four hours ending up nearly naked in bed plus-size panties balled on the floor wanting badly to see what was behind door number two but not really finally getting dressed and leaving me to a set alarm clock and half- eaten apple turning brown on the counter. |
