SexySadie

i think we met

a long

time ago on an internet

dating site,

she tells me.

i look at her as we

stand

in the grocery store.

both of us staring at

a pile of asparagus.

maybe, i tell her.

what's your name.

oh, i went by SexySadie,

but my real

name is Marsha.

weren't you the Italian

Stallion?

no, that wasn't me.

that was my brother.

i went by Joey123.

oh, right right.

we had drinks and calamari

one night about

twenty years ago, then

you walked me

back to my car.

hmm. i tell her, could be

me.

what happened next.

well, she says, beginning to

blush.

we dated for a few years,

got married

and had two children.

don't you remember?

nah. it's all a blur now,

i did a lot of binge dating

back then, but

look, i have to run.

nice seeing you again.
