Solomon Gursky Was Here
“Their first morning together Moses came to shortly before noon, trying to sort out whose silken sheets he was lying on, when he isolated the sound that must have wakened him. It was the sound of retching and flushing. Surfacing, but still far from shore, he pried open his eyes and followed the sound through an open door to where a nude Lucy reclined on her knees before the toilet bowl. She struggled to her feet, wobbly, touchingly thin. “What would you like Edna to bring you for breakfast?”
“Bl...ack coffee. Oh, and a vodka with orange juice would be nice.”
Still nude, Lucy pressed a button embedded in the wall and then stood on her scale. A fat, surly black lady drifted into the room without knocking. Lucy didn’t bother to turn around. “Bring us a huge pot of black coffee, a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice and two yogurts. Oh, and Edna, this is Mr. Berger. He’s moving in with us.”
Moses waited until Edna left before he said, “Am I?”
“Well, if you don’t remember you can bloody well leave right after breakfast.”MoreLess
