Headphones

Thank whoever first invented headphones because otherwise I would have already been incarcerated for life. There is a woman who, even though I can’t hear her, is making my skin crawl. She is working that gum like a cow chewing cud and I want to cry. Her mouth never shuts and I can hear the…

Indirectly Holding Hands

She had her hands wrapped around the subway pole like a cup of coffee, her fingers interlaced on the far side. Her nails were long and had a nude colored paint on then except for her two ring fingers which had stripes on them. My paler, red-nailed hand was below hers and as she talked…

Hair Tie

There is a man in a three piece suit on the train with a hair tie on his right wrist. I see many people in three piece suits, some fill them out well and look good, others need to get their suits fit better, but what struck me about this guy was the hair tie….

Thanks Levi

She knew he had a 34 inch waist and a 32 inch inseam thanks to his butt. The little tag right over the curve of his ass that was not hidden by his dark leather belt was tan and a stark contrast to his tight dark blue jeans.

Don’t Believe Everything You Read

Anne came through the door to the apartment, calling out a distracted greeting as she shed her purse and kicked off her shoes. She shrugged out of her jacket and tossed it on the shoe rack as she made her way to the fridge to grab her juice. Opening the fridge she vaguely noted that…

Wrists

Unfortunate haircut, but delightful wrists. The ball of one wrist juts out and gives the back of the wrist a flatter look. The hair on the back of his hand is fine and a medium brown shade. His fingers are thin and long, half wrapped around the bar above us, just the tips of his…

Nonverbal Before Coffee

Anne and her friend Wren were sitting at the kitchen table talking easily over their second cups of coffee when Farley shuffled into the room and headed straight for the small, manual espresso machine on top of the microwave. Wren opened her mouth to greet her, but Anne shook her head. “Far is nonverbal before…

Wilder Side

He stands at the door of the subway, his left arm wrapped around his middle, his right elbow propped on his left arm so he can read his phone. He switches hands and continues reading. I know he is reading because his thumbs are still and his ears are empty. He has a black sporty…

#21 – You are the Only Ordinary Person

Hey y’all! sorry if this one is a bit rambly, it has been a busy busy weekend! [In no particular order, except for number one because that’s my #1] Note: This piece will be written using gender neutral pronouns (ze instead of he/she and hir instead of she/he and him/her) in order to make this…

To Every Straight Man Trying to Get My Attention on the Street

To Every Straight Man Trying to Get My Attention on the Street, Let’s pretend we’re back in Regency England. You don’t talk to me unless you have a proper introduction and I won’t have to challenge you to pistols at dawn for being an offensive, classless worm of a human being with no honor or…
