Tuesday, Before Noon


by xTx!


I tell him, Do not think you are special.  He is 14.  As are his friends.  I remind him because I know how teenage boys elbow each other and boast afterwards.  Predictable like how it was a given that every husband I'd ever had would leave the seat up after a piss.


It came up heads so he is going first.  He puts on a condom and gets in.  It doesn't last long.  By the time they are all done I could've microwaved and eaten a steak and cheese burrito.

 

I stare at the sag of their pants as they leave and catch myself before I tell them to pull that shit up.  If the boys wore their pants like that back when my son was growing up, I never would've let him leave the trailer.


I turn the volume back up on Maury.  I count the money one more time.
