            I am married, for all intents and purposes, and have been for 10 years.  I fuck twice a day, sometimes three times but I am not satisfied.  I prolong the act for a half-hour, for an hour sometimes and yet I cannot get enough.  Beautiful women are an agony for me.  And yet, I cannot rape, I can't be satisfied with prostitution.  I need the love of an honest woman.  And even the Sultan can't get that.  But at least he gets the appearance of it. 

            The Iranian woman smiled and I turned away again.  I hated myself.  She looked so different!  Her grape-golden skin was bleached marble white, and her hair was done in little curly strands that made her look like Medusa.  A golden bracelet inlaid with gems dangled from her arm and yet, as if to set off this new sepulchral look, she was wearing a chaste white blouse and blue jeans.  It suddenly seemed clear to me: I can't afford a woman like her. 

            Is life that simple?

            The Mexican girl was wearing a gold wedding band this morning!  She still vibrates to me as no one else but Sharon does.  Krazny vibrates too, but she doesn't like me, and she is coarse: a swashbuckling, skinny girl who rides a motorcycle and lays her helmet on the chair that's next to her.  She fooled me at first.  Then I realized that her friendliness was her way of insulting me.  I gave her a little electric shock that she didn't expect from me, and now she just smiles half enigmatically, half malevolently from the back row.  Her large nose has the scent of pussy on it, and her smirk says that it likes the easy conquests of lesbianism and the delirious cunt licking that she imagines I am envious of.  I don't blame her, but I know that she will be a virgin all of he life - without even suspecting it.  Only a monstrous rape of some kind could electrify her into really losing it, and she certainly isn't worth the trouble.  She is a conniving, manipulating bitch that will never be satisfied unless she is sitting on someone's face.

            But the Mexican girl.  It implies that I am completely without subtlety.  Even a slight indication that I SEE her sends her running for cover.  And Stephanie, tomorrow?  It depresses me.  What will the Iranian woman do?  Why should I care?  Byron said that HE was seduced by all of those women, not the other way around.  I believe it.

            I'll get to observe my reaction to losing 5,10, 15(?) thousand dollars over one weekend, or maybe making a few thousand if I am lucky.  I seem to be indifferent to that.  Probably because it just represents comfort in my old age, and it is just a game, a game at which I haven't lost disastrously since the British Bond incident.  It will hurt badly if I lose more than 10 thousand, of course.  That is more than I make for an entire quarter at State, teaching two classes, and so it still feels like a large loss to me.  If I make 2 or 3 thousand I will be ecstatic - for a few minutes - well, actually for a long time, because it means I didn't lose anything.  But I am prepared to have lost $5000 - in one day (!) for one impulsive and stupid move.  I, at least, continue to learn.  It was an ill-advised gamble.  I deserve to lose - should lose.  I must learn the lesson that making money in the markets is deadly serious business.  Any insights that go beyond a few weeks are dangerous delusions in that domain.  Well, I'll find out tomorrow.

 

            Who was it that said, "Beautify yourself with masculine beauty.  In that way you will vanquish Cunt?"

 

            Don't wail to me like a dog howling outside the backyard of some bitch in heat.  Be a man.  Find an honest man's pleasure and face up to your mistakes and stupidity like a man.  Don't wail at the walls of your room and gnash your teeth like a Rabbi.  Go find out how much you lost, and accept that you acted like a fool.  If you won, don't take it as a good Omen.  I'm afraid we all know that Whirl is King, and as Aristophanes has taught us: always (!) humor!  If you forget humor, then I have nothing more to say to you.  By the way, if you win, PLEASE don't take that as a sign of your good judgement.  You acted like a fool and you know it.

 

            Well, I did it.  (And I love to watch my self take credit, reflexively, spontaneously.)   But I did nothing intelligent.  I had a stroke of luck.  $4200 for one telephone call.  That's more than I'm going to make all Winter Quarter for teaching 2 classes at State.  It’s enough to make a gambler out of anyone.  All I have to make is 7% on the money for the next 5 months, and I will have a total profit, for the fiscal year April 15 to April 15, of $111,000.  (Before taxes of course)  At least three quarters of it is short-term gain.  $499,818.  I've almost made the half million mark.  And I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.  The markets are far too unstable.

            I haven't touched a penny of the profit in five years.  Not since she gave me the $10,000 that she accused me of squandering on a used car and a tip to Hawaii!  I could probably buy that wonderful Iranian woman for a few thousand dollars and the promise of more.  But now I am just trying to get sympathy from you, and again, I sound like a stupid, self-deceiving fool.

            Suddenly the Mexican girl in the back row is married.   Definitively.  Her ring is there again.  And she shows hardly any interest.  NO interest.  And suddenly she is REALLY ugly.  Her skin looks like uncooked dough. 

            There is, basically, just a network of fantasy that spreads out over society, and many half-serious plans that occasionally meet each other.  I am tired of sex and love.  I am incapable of inspiring love anyway.  Certain women see me as available, "a good catch," but I am essentially unappealing to women.  So why do I care?  It isn't vanity.  I'm sure that as soon as I try to forget them, I will begin to notice them looking at me again with bedroom eyes.  But they don't want me.  They want a house and kids - with the option of throwing me out if I don't do my share to keep the house tidy.

 

            Why am I telling you this?  Certainly this couldn't be Literature.  Nothing rhymes, the characters aren't clear, there's virtually no action.  Everyone is watching television and no one's reading anymore anyway and the professors have determined the precise nature of Literature.  It's sophomoric: there's too much her here Herr Professor.  So what is the point?  To demonstrate to myself that my life is a failure by doing something that is obviously botched?  Who knows?  Does it really matter?

 

            The only image left is the line of the jeans.  It becomes full at the thigh where it joins the hip, and on the inside, it forms a kind of crease where it meets the line of her cunt.  Why is it that Anglo-Saxon word is still crude sounding, and the Latin vulva/vagina/clitoris words are so clinical sounding?  Another image: her pouting lips, blood engorged face, and wide-eyed vixen stare, forms itself in my mind's eye, and then like a door slammed shut by the wind, I see her taught, blood-drained inward looking face, nervous, near the point of panic.  For two hours I coax her back to herself, away from the Mullahs.

 

            She invited me to her apartment!  We started out by talking about Beijing - BEIJING as she insisted, and I ended up making out with her in a tiny apartment in Oakland!  I knew that I would have to make a move, that a woman doesn't invite a man to her apartment without expecting that something might happen.  And so we made out for about a half-hour.  I tried to go further a couple of times, but she wouldn't allow anything but kisses above the neck!  But I don't believe her.  It doesn't mean anything.  But I was amazed that I didn't even get an erection.  And now this stupid rash.  She's been married before and divorced.  He is half-Chinese.  His mother is a missionary.  She complained that they were both domineering, he and his mother, and that they expected her to stay home and do housework and dishes.  Her eyes narrowed to thin slits and she confided to me that he beat her.  That even though they are separated and are filing for a divorce, if he found out about me, he would beat her.  She is the prettiest Chinese woman I've even known.  She has an ebullient confidence that I've never seen in an American Chinese woman.  Her English is excellent.  Apparently her father is a famous scientist who was forced to work in the fields during the Cultural Revolution.  I'm going to make it a point of fucking her if I can get over this rash, even though she doesn't love me and says she does.

 

            The Indian student wants to see me next Wednesday.  They are after me.  Even though it seems like a sure thing with Wai Shiow, Maria is like a steaming jungle flower.  She just sat in class and stared at me with her bedroom eyes.  They got more and more intense, until it seemed that she was a bitch in heat, that her vagina was a yawning gulf, that she was a siren song, a mermaid with seaweed arms, hypnotic, caressing, enticing.  After class she came to my desk and said, "I have problems.  Can I come to se you at 12 O'clock on Wednesday, like before?"  I let my eyes scan some imaginary horizon of activities, conscious of her face next to mine, searching my expression for a sign of acquiescence.  Savoring that intensity for the briefest of moments, I interrupted our communion and looked into her frosting lined cake-face, and licked her wet vulva into a frothy, meringue orgasm.  Her doe eyes sucked in my testosterone essence, and her nostrils flared at the smell of my perfumed UNDERARM.  "I'll be there."  I said, waving her away, back to her dreams, back to her lonely estrogen laden bed, dank with cunt smell, back to her hours long finger fucking sessions, legs tucked up against her tiny breasts, pelvis grinding against her hand, while my image fills the room against her will and my head is locked between her loins, struggling with her will to order, to respectability and convention.  My passionate licking of her vulva and snapping and jerking of my own cock beats her into electric ecstasy as she shimmies and vibrates -

 

            - shit I was just interrupted by a knock on the sliding glass doors.  It was my brother in the back yard.  He wants to start his workout.  I am aching to finish this off in bed.  Well, discipline calls. To work - out.

            The greasy little Indian cunt showed up in class today.  But she didn't come to, (or in,) my office.  Hatred isn't my feeling.  It is a kind of happy scorn.  A kind of longing impossibility.  A 14 year old, with long blond curls tumbling over tanned shoulders, pulling her summer dress up over her belly, revealing her Grassy Knoll and glaring defiantly at me.  Why do these cunts present themselves to me like monkeys in heat?  And why does it raise my cock in such a stiff and guileless salute?  The truth is simple: she is a whore and is used to getting her trinkets with a wet cunt.  I too would give her a B for a piece of ass.  Why not an A?  Because she is too hypocritical to admit that she would exchange ass for grades.  If I gave her a B, she could save her self-respect, convincing herself that, in fact she really DESERVED a B, and that if she had  been a WHORE, well then, she would have fucked for an A.  The fact is that she is too cowardly to try it, not too virtuous.

 

            And why am I so taken by their fantasies, so vulnerable to their vulvatic vicissitudes?  I, at 37 am more lusty by far than I was at twenty.  I can maintain an erection for hours and come three or four times a day.  But Judy and Andy are spending the summer in France I am reduced to masturbation.  I thought I had come down with an exotic rash, or that maybe my Freudian id had turned my cock fire engine red to spite my amorous absurdities.  But I had simply masturbated so much that it turned red.  Now that I've let it rest for a few days it's almost back to normal. 

            I haven't seen my beautiful and sad Iranian for a week and I find myself lurking in her usual haunts, disappointed when she isn't there. It is as if Cock is disappointed in me, I who am simply a vehicle, a robot appointed with a modicum of intelligence and sturdy legs, for transporting Cock around to various emanations of estrogen.  Cock has an uncanny ability to sniff out these hot houses of feminine lust and torment me with fantasies that probably torment them as well.  We may be unhinged by our overly covetous genital organs. 

 

            I imagine that her Cunt was so wounded by my prideful icy stare - I didn't recognize her right off - that it scorched her heart and sent her ovaries into a rush of activity that has flooded that imperious organ with a tide of blood, spewing forth the useless egg with cramps of hatred for my proud, icy American face, and longing for a little Iranian Shah to fuck it into submission.  But nightmares of dead soldiers and butt fucking boys crowd out her longing and plunge her deeper into a psychic paroxysm of estrogen induced agony.   But that insistent pussy tells her through it all, whispers softly into her coward's ear: "Get that man's prick at all costs; let not hail, nor sleet, nor small creeping creature, nor pard, nor raging storm keep that man's prick from my door."  And she listens and yet hates to hear a Cunt's command.  But Cunt is now a raging wound, a swirling black mane, matted with blood, growing thick onto her legs and climbing outrageously to her belly button.  She hates Cunt, now, because it masters her and she hates me because IT has issued an all points bulletin for my Cock.  And that fucking organ of mine is like a bitch in heat climbing the walls of my jeans whenever her black bush gets within smelling distance.  I feel like a man pursued.  If only I could stand against some wall and beat it into submission.  But it rises, ever anew, and always for that imperious thing whose caretaker is like the wind, now breeze then hurricane, now gust, then tornado, Santa Anna, Mistral, untamable, unknowable, unapproachable, impossible, unavoidable.

            Stephanie walked right past me pretending not to see me.  Her face was a stone.  So I took pleasure in ignoring her for the first hour.  During the break she put her head on her desk, and I resisted asking her if she was all right.  I noticed that her purse was placed right against her crotch, as if barring the fiery gates.  I was so much in control that I found myself wondering if I would end up seducing her anyway, and decided that she wasn't worth noticing and that she is just another would be whore. I am certainly indifferent to her.  Now I only want to make love to a woman that I despise.  Wai Shiow?  Well, I am simply curious.  I want to see if fucking another woman will change me in any way.  The problem is that I like her a great deal also.  I like her very much.  But I sense that she is incapable of really understanding love, that Love is a Western flower for her.  But I am still curious.  The rash turned out to be just overuse.  It is healing nicely.  She wants me to go to the French Embassy to help her get a VISA.  She has planned a trip to Europe.  She's leaving in about a month.  I've decided to fuck her either before or after the French Embassy.  She said she loves me but something is missing.  3 to 1 says the Indian student won’t be in class tomorrow and 2 to 1 says she won’t show up in my office.  How can I eat her cake?  If Marge is there I'm cooked.  I need an excuse to be fired anyway.  I'm getting so goddammed sick of Fuck State.   What could I say to her?  Are you still living with your brother?  Still working at X?  I've got to get up at 6:30 and it's 12:30.

 

            Stephanie is an arrogant little bitch.  I've never liked women like her.  They are inconstant, selfish whores.  But they seem to have all of the fire of the Universe in their pants.  The ugly ones just don't seem to have it.  They're usually prudes. 

            Why do I put all of life's problems there, on sex?  It is clearly such a trivial thing.  Food, water, shelter, are so much more important than sex. 

            Why don't I put on the noble hair shirt of Communism?  OR, more to the point, why don't I buy a 12 gauge shotgun, keep it loaded and wait for the right moment?

Chapter Menu 

            Well, I fucked her!  I am amazed myself.  At first, I was afraid I wouldn't get an erection.  It finally got hard and then I came almost right away.  I thought it was the anxiety of betraying Judy.  The bitch grabbed my face just as I was coming, and watched in triumph.  Fucking her teacher no doubt.  She, on top.  Then she had the audacity to pretend to come about 30 seconds later.  Well, she either did come, or did a fair imitation.  Afterwards, we took a shower and she washed my back, Chinese style.  After that, we spent a lot of time hugging and kissing each other and talking.  We said that we love each other.  But I know she is lying.  She just likes me and thinks I would be a marvelous catch.  She is very poor - lives on about 200 dollars a month.  I didn't say anything about Judy except that I am "in between relationships," "that I still see her occasionally."  It feels true.  She has been gone for almost two months. 

            Without clothes, she seemed very skinny, and I must admit, unappetizing.  Although, and I have to admit it, her cunt smelled like Chinese food.  I know it sounds ridiculous, but it did.  I couldn't hide from myself that she was no longer beautiful and that whatever I thought I loved wasn't there anymore.  She is still very pretty and I like her a great deal, but the vanity of it all crashed in on me.  I rediscover banal truths like a man reinventing the wheel: arduously.

            But she is an extraordinary woman.  Beautiful and intelligent and she will make some God-blessed, God-fearing man an extraordinary wife.  Atheist though she be.  Words fail.
