Sleepwalking
- What did you do all day yesterday?
- Well, when you called I was secretarying the meeting like I do every Saturday.
- Mmm hmmm
- And then I went to the gym with Handsome, and then I went home, went over to the Studly Couple’s house so they could show me around, then I drove them to Oakland where they’re flying out of, and then I went home and packed a bag, and came over here with Louie. I didn’t get your message until last night.
- What time?
- (pause) I don’t know.
- (chuckles)
- I didn’t sleep well last night so…
- So you’re isolating.
- Well, yeah.
- (silence)
- Thanks for sounding so understanding.
- Oh, come on, you know I’m understanding. I’m completely understanding.
- I know you are. You just sound sometimes so
simplistic.
- Well sometimes it is simple.
- Right.
-(silence)
- I took the dogs to the park for awhile, but I didn’t really want to stay. I sat next to some dumb girls talking about some dumb things.
- Were they flirting with you?
- If they were, they weren’t doing it well.
- (silence)
- They were talking about doing too much drugs and sleeping with the wrong guys and getting fired and having dumb ideas for businesses they were going to start, and then they wanted to know why Louie got an erection.
- What?
- He gets an erection sometimes when he’s outside, rolling around and having a good time.
- Yeah?
- So they wanted to know why he got one, and why it was pink.
- (laughs)
- I don’t know why I feel this way. It’s been a week like that.
- I’m about to head out. I think I’m going to go shopping, get some groceries, stuff like that.
- I’m wrapped in white gauze, I’m the ugly pair of boots you need to replace. When am I set to wake? You just want to shake me, snap me in two.
