n e w y e a r ' s e v e & d a w n , 1 9 9 8 - 1 9 9 9 . escuelita just as it turns midnight. jesus and i clink champagne glasses and hug and i'm so glad to have old friends already. all this gym time must be payin off because why do white boys think it's cute to grab my ass and pretend they aren't?? i, quite frankly, look damn good tonight, and i'm having a good time and ready for more as i see a whole mess of cute boys. jesse, jesus, and i are dancing by a few of them; jesse thinks one is acceptable so i push him over there, which conveniently clears some space for my latest fixation to get a lil closer. he's wearing a
and carpenter pants, like me, but also a fisherman's hat that covers his eyes just barely. sexy fuckin body and good dancer and pretty soon we're freaking, him dipping down and smacking my legs, my right hand on the small of his back. we haven't smiled yet, we're still playin it cool and being tough. lips, then tongues touch. or maybe vice versa. right now i'm listening to le tombeau de couperin by maurice ravel, played on piano by anne queffelec. her frenchness comes through by how she plays: you can make a quiet, but resonant sound on the piano by gently but firmly pressing the key all the way down, and even though she's playing a stunningly difficult piece, she can make it sound like every note, she's doing that. it sounds like cream colored curtains opening and sun shining through. he buys me a bottled water; i meet his friend, who was making out with my friend; maybe a double date or just an orgy. numbers exchange and i show off my new business card. i call him as soon as i get home, before he gets home, to apologize for not saying goodbye. |
