I was grumpily hefting my 2000 lb. bag of dirty clothes down the sidewalk to do my least favorite chore ever, with all the grace and graciousness of a rhinocerous with a bone to pick when he popped into my field of vision: “Baby, if I was your man…you wouldn’t have to do laundry.” He wasn’t one of the street regulars – I didn’t recognize him – and he delivered his line while he was disappearing, as though it were reflex, practice.
Ten years later, I’m in a different city, and deeply, thoroughly smitten with someone who is basically THE last word in wonderful…and yet…today, hatefully lugging a different 2000 lb. bag of dirty clothes down the sidewalk to a different laundromat, I couldn’t help but try to remember…was he ugly? Maybe we could have worked something out.
