Turning pages searching for a number… Not anchored by a bed… I don’t want that and I don’t know why… Filled with fluid… Frosted glass encounter… An understanding we won’t reveal…Sex is interrupted… These hands listening… We act like we don’t know one another… I don’t remember how he got in… She’s trying to seek comfort… Not old enough to be away from it’s mother… A secret place to come back to… She’s afraid to stop… No one ever finds the room… … It’s broken but I can use it… She’s grasping her behavior… A place to come back to… They’re all trying to get in while I’m trying to get out… Smooth like a conductor… She turns into a man… I don’t know why I’m moving… Hands outstretched… Afraid because we found each other’s secret… I am the cat and the mouse… There is an understanding… Something needs constant attention… What’s being offered?... I am the participant and the observer
