“Foxy?Yes, Piet? Their simple names had a magic, the magic of a caress that searches out the something monstrous and tender in the genitals of another.Do you think we’re wrong?Wrong? The concept seemed to swim toward her out of another cosmos of consideration. I don’t know. I don’t think so.How good of you!Not to think so?Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Don’t ever think so. Make it right for me. Hey. I dreamed about you last night. I never have before. It’s funny, the people you dream about. It’s a club wit...h the stupidest rules. I’m always dreaming about Freddy Thorne and I can’t stand him.What did I do in your dream? Was I erotic?Very chaste. It was in a department store, with a huge skylight overhead. You were a salesgirl. I stopped in front of your counter, without knowing what I wanted.A salesgirl, am I? She had this mode, of contentious teasing, to vent a touchy pride. And what do you suppose I am selling?It wasn’t that atmosphere at all. You were very prim and distant and noncommittal, the way you can be; even though I couldn’t say anything, you bent down behind the counter, out of sight, as if to find something, and I woke up with a killing erection.Sometimes insomniac that summer, Piet, lying in bed beside sleeping Angela, would lift his hand and study its shape stamped black on the window of light-blue panes framed by cruciform mullions.MoreLess Read More Read Less
