Seconds of pleasure

He taught me how to play Mahjong and Canasta and let me jump around on the furniture pretending to be a ballerina listening to the sounds of The Nutcracker on the turntable and he made me snacks of hot dogs cut up and fried in a pan and stuck onto toothpicks which seemed very fancy and we drank ice water that was kept really cold in the fridge in a green pitcher and we laughed and made up stories and played darts and one day he did my horoscope chart. The first man I ever loved, Ed Roberts.
