she has once made a list and it had survived for three days before she met another boy and became suddenly afraid that no matter where she hid it, he would find it and at the worst possible time too, like just as she was in the bathroom rubbing a dot of vanilla-scented oil on the back of her neck while he waited in her room

he’d stand up from the bed as the door to the wardrobe creaked open as though pushed by mischievous ghosts and then he’d see a mouse and he’d try to grab it with his t-shirt and would knock the box open and then the photograph inside would fall over and the backing would come free and the slip of paper would spin out like a cherry blossom falling to the ground in a gust of wind

even as it spun he would see the names of other boys and an icy freeze would snap through his body, hardening it through and through

he’d bend over, muscles creaking over bones of iron and pick up the list, tiny patterns of frost creeping over the thin lines of ink detailing the names of all her lovers and he’d know immediately what it was

he’d drop it to the ground and it would fall straight down, weighted as it was with frost

she’d catch him in the doorway as he stormed past and the breath of chilled air would tell her what he had found and what he had seen

then she’d sit in her cold room and attempt to cry for a while but the air would be too dry and when she gave up a mouse would run out of the wardrobe and dive under the door as though following the boy.

one day we’ll have a little cat
called minus

yes dear it’s ok
you’ve slept with a lot of people
yes dear it’s ok
you don’t give head

yes dear you kissed all the boys
in the back room
yes dear you are right
those big breasts attract them all

yes dear you talk too much
tell too much
yes dear i’ve got to go now
because

let’s just say it’s because you don’t give head

Who wants a bearded wood-chopping guy with abs of steel? Every German child does!

Puppy love? A schoolgirl’s crush? An impulsive infatuation? Not mine! I was in dead earnest when I said I loved Scott Madison  — and I moved Heaven and Earth to prove it to the world … and to prove it to Scott! What difference did it make that I was only 16 and he was 24? What difference does age make to a … desperate heart?

**

Scott owns his own boat and he’s got a 16-year-old in love with him – what else could a man want? In the comic he also has a pipe (something every 24-year-old guy has). A boat, a pipe and a hot 16-year-old. What could go wrong?

Dude, you ain’t going to be getting far with Carla if you ain’t got the green to keep her in cinema tickets, cheeseburgers and milkshakes.

And man – check out his vest! Patriotic as all hell.

I wanted love but I wanted security too, but I couldn’t find them both in the same man. I had to make a decision, in favor of security or … in favor of love!

Sorry dude, she’s gonna marry for money and then have random affairs with pool-boys and tennis coaches. Take your poor ass back over to eight-mile and freestyle rap about it.
