Heartbeats
The only truth
is love beyond reason.
We write about 20, 25 texts a day.
I'd go, c'mon, let's hitchhike
to Miami Beach.
He'd anmer now!
ln 1 sec he's there.
But of course
l fall for that f***ing
arrogant prick Jean-Marc
who takes forever
to anmer my emails.
I'm such a dumbass.
Sometimes
I'm at my computer...
and l panic.
l get all worked up.
l go,
if somebody died
evey time l hit Refresh,
there'd be nobody left alive, f***.
When you go into a bar,
go for groceries,
walk down the street, eat out...
Whose ass do you check out?
When you're on the prowl,
is it tits or c*cks?
Tits, c*cks? C*cks, tits?
It was the cat.
Marilyn. The cat was gone.
I knew right away because
Ididn't hear the tingaling.
He'd put this collar on her...
You know, for midgets...
for Santa's elves. A tiny bell.
He put a bell on, thought it was cute.
But l came home, she wasn't there.
l went, Marilyn?
No bell.
And the vase...
in terracotta,
that was filled with
pennies and sh*t, on the bumet.
Gone.
So l turn around
and next to the door
just my boots.
No running shoes.
No guy stum at all.
So naturally l tear through
the place at like 250 mph.
He'd taken eveything.
All... all... all his sh*t.
On the kitchen table
there was a sheet of blue notepaper
with, written in Gennan
- cause he was German...
Must still be.
"l don't want to waste my life
Ioving you badly."
You can't be 50-50.
Straight is straight, gay is gay.
And don't bring up
your "mood" crap.
The humidex
doesn't amect your libido.
Or the moon in Aquarius.
Gimme a f***ing break!
l know eveything.
Eveything.
l know where he works,
the restaurants he eats in.
l walked by his building.
Ran into thejanitor.
So l asked him,
dunno the f*** why,
if he was home.
Janitor starts talking about him.
l listen.
the little l knew.
As if l knew him
since kindergarten.
One point l realize I'm f***ed.
So l tell him to say
Cindy Rosenberg says hello.
Not to look like a stalker.
If he had any idea...
I am so well informed.
His dad had a stroke in 2002.
His mom owns a multicolored
wooden flowers stand

and to forget all the sh*t.
At night I read
to exercise my brain.
