With the winter light, the street was already two shades dark than the municipal, pisspot gray it was the month before. It did fascinating things to people's faces. There was the disjunction of parts, eyebrows separate from eyes. And big mouths of teeth proceeding lips, like the inverse of kissing. On his skateboard, he moved so fast. My roommate told me to hold my keys in my hand if I was scared walking alone at night. And as I grabbed my keys from my pocket, I was incubated by a voice.
'Hey girl, you want a boyfriend? I could do that, you know. I could be good at that.'
