late back for bible study,
nudes in frozen granite against a slate sky,
an orange pullover and grey scarf to match the brooding temperment...
some weekends a little longer than most.
can you recall?
how can i find you?

The writing reflects perfectly that fragmented matter-of-fact process of thinking that kids have. It also reminds me, in like fragments, about my own sexual awakenings. I remember being 5 or 6 behind the bushes of this boy's house down the street as we took a tube of my mother's ice-blue eye shadow and painted the tips of our penises with it. A year or two later--before my first erection and perhaps with the instruction of a visiting friend--I discovered that if I held my little penis stretched out under pouring cold water from the bathtub faucet long enough, that I'd feel this tickly-swimmy feeling in my belly like riding a swing too high. When I was 10, my neighbor's granddaughter pulled up her shorts to reveal her secret to me as I reciprocated. In the back seat of my dad's car at night, as he drove me and this girl (former classmate of mine) home from the beach, I let my fingers slip beneath the towel that covered her lap and then pry their way under her swimsuit. They found in that darkness a soft, warm, wet paradise like I had never imagined. Earlier that year, after my parents divorce, I discovered dad's copy of "The Joy of Sex" as well as a motherload of issues of Playboy, Penthouse, and erotic stories. I had studied them with an eagerness like no other subject in school. This was one course I did not want to receive bad marks in.
