she wore her ring
women wear their rings even if
theyre thinking of fucking someone other than their husband
not men
theyre dishonest
dolts their rings are off and
some try to mask the pastyflesh on their finger
frankly he didnt looked
rings meant nothing
hed been turned back several
times rejected rejection Nos didnt bother him hed been told No more often than Doans had
pills he still hadnt a clue what they did
first time was college
a black girl
she said No which really ran him
up the flagpole thinking it was racialBecause Im white
she laughed gently patted his cheek
No, baby, if I wasn’t married I’d certainly go on a date with you.
who expected a second-year twenty
year old college student to be married
Yare married I am. she extended her handspread her fingers

they didnt lose track of each
other until he moved out of state
out of state out of mind
he
wrote
she didnt
he stopped
women are honest
if they wanted to fuck when he asked Woudya like to go
elsewhere theyd say Yes
hed slept with three married women one who was pregnant her husband was disgusted by her body
never once thought of the men who
forced them out
they cried
afterwards
he held them
words wouldnt console them
hed be stupid to think so
he thought he should start up a
chain of motels called Elsewhere
not that he would
he was an
idea guy
