it was some sort of reunion
there were people i knew
from work
from school
from television too, i think
i feel pretty sure i saw sam merlotte
i wanted to talk to fred (this girl who used to work for me)
and i kind of did
but then she ran up to the front of the room
and wrote on the wall
i want to live in a digital world
with analog sex
and drew this picture
that when she walked away
was gone
it was streaming, or something, too
stuff was on my phone
and i went to a screen on the wall
and synced with it
you have been to blah blah blah event
now
are you ready go order you christmas tree
one of the options was
not now i'm tired
fred had a long hyphenated name
i wanted to ask her if she got remarried
i thought to myself
she must have married the daddy
by which i did not mean
like the baby daddy
when she was in high school
she was a foreign exchange student
she went to france
and
she lost her virginity to the french daddy
this kind of horrified me
naive, i am, i guess
i mean, on the one hand
it was probably
good technique
not a horrifying first experience
that you spend the rest of your life trying to forget
but
on the other hand
it seems like
when you send your young daughter
to stay with a family
you should be able go expect
part of the protection to include
not, you know, personally deflowering her
but
whatever
woke up with a headache
yuck
