Tasting Never
“I cry when they ask me routine questions.
When was your last sexual encounter? Who was your last sexual partner?
How many sexual partners have you had in your lifetime? Do you use protection?
I cry when they take my weight and my height and my blood pressure.
Five foot seven, one hundred and forty-one pounds, the perfect 120/80.
I cry when they ask me to remove my jacket.
It smells like cigarettes and dangerous boys with broken hearts, like a shield against painful reali...ty.
When I first start to cry, the woman who's asking the questions feels really bad and even gives me a hug and a cup of black coffee. I sip it down slowly, but it doesn't help. I just have to let the emotions wash over me and feel them, all of them. Hiding away from them doesn't work. Hiding away from them is what got me here.
They poke my arm and draw blood, lots of it.MoreLess
