I have developed a strange condition. I wake up with a new body everyday.
560 bodies I’ve inhabited. 560 different sets of eyebrows, arms, legs, nipples, and genitalia. A month ago, I woke up a very chiseled toned man. Very Hell’s Kitchen. A Ben Affleck Tall, Dark, and Handsomeâ„¢. I went to The Eagle that day, got sucked off in the dark room then relapsed on rum. Dark room silence is like dark room sex—austere, bare-bones, mechanical. That is not to say it’s shameful of course, far be it from me to be a bore or a prude. It’s just that… it’s less Audre Lorde’s Uses of the Erotic and more… Lexapro sex.
I miss when I had one body.
