Chris, 28 years old LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, $30 |
to draw the dollar -
an 's',
some numbers
and two vertical lines,
with Chris it was simple
It was like he had rehearsed.
His small hands
unfastening my button fly,
reciting a four times table
by rote.
We met no more than seven times
according to my diary
when he 'disappeared.'
Afterwards, my journeys west
grew short. I felt
his breath behind my neck the one time
in the car and saw his shadow
in the parking lot
lengthening towards me.
