In college I dated a red head
who studied philosophy.
one hot July afternoon she
came to my apartment
an announced
"I AM through WITH you!"
I didn't know what I did
this time but I had been
seeing other girls that
summer too.
"come on honey," I said,
trying to be curt and all that
"where else can you
find a guy who studies
number theory for kicks,
a Nietsche freak, a poet,
a passionate reader, and
a computer hacker?"
ego had been blooming in me
since the dawn of mankind.
she was quiet for a while.
and sweating. she was
slow in the head sometimes.
"well, Joshua, you are
damn terrible in bed!"
she said.
I said
"that, my dear, is
merely your interpretation,
isn't it?"
"screw you and your
philosophical bullshit!"
with that she vomitted out
of the room and
my life.
two months later
I heard that she
joined the Krishnas.
since the dawn of mankind
no man knows what lurks
in the minds of women.
