or, "The Opposite is Equally True: Lena the 5th"
Lena is not invited to the wedding of her old friend, the virgin bride.
"Why not?" she wonders. She telephones a mutual friend.
"The bride considers your presence a moral detriment, given your past of prostitution and whoredom."
"That answers that," Lena says. She hangs up and takes out a piece of paper. She begins to write the virgin bride a letter. Lena finishes the letter and reads over it before sealing it in an envelope the same pink shade as her cunt.
My lovers and I wait seven hours to sleep together and two years to say "I love you."
Will you still love him, virgin bride, even after you've had two years to satisfy your deepest perversions of hedonism? The "love" you felt in reality is your bubbling repression of carnal desire. My retroactive advice to you, careless tosser of sacrosanct words, is to not inhibit your desire. Do not let a ubiquitous appetite determine the rarest phenomena of human existence. In popular culture the two are often confused, so I do not blame your for your common misunderstanding of Love.
Do not practice abstitence. At all costs, do not practice abstinence.
Lena is satisfied with the letter. She licks the edges of the envelope and presses its folds together. She walks to the mailbox and fills it with her letter. She returns inside to an empty bed.
