Monologue

It’s hard to describe people. It was so long ago, I barely remember. I mean…We never even talked is the truth. I’m not even sure I registered him. There’s a lot of people. I was there with my girlfriend…We were celebrating our anniversary, stopped in for a drink, and then this guy kept looking at me. It’s a nuisance. The occupational hazard of…of being a female. You can’t even go for a drink. Always being looked at. He was a creeper! You know? And I remember thinking, I wish my boyfriend was here. Which is…That’s sort of sad that being a woman, the only way a guy leaves you alone is if you’re with another guy. Like, if…like…like you’ve been claimed. Like you’re property, even then. Anyway I can’t…I can’t remember what he looks like. Why would I? Nothing happened. Maybe it was just…I think it was just…just one of thousands of such non-interactions in my life. It’s like asking me to describe a mosquito that bit me on an evening 40 years ago. Well, you haven’t seen anyone fitting that description have you?
