Fino!
Friends re-united.
I’m quite — excited.
But since, as you say,
Stan’s mind speeds away….

I don’t have sex with men any more.
Once I adored it — a bit of a whore
in a sort of a way. That was before
you drove me to drink. Friends used to abhor
my relish for men. Three, perhaps four,
even five each weekend. But the present-day score
is zero. No sex with men any more.
Though manly as Stanley, it’s hard to endure
for more than an hour. I find it a bore
when they want to come close (as it were).
There’s no law

against women who suddenly find they prefer
to forget about him in favour of her.
I know you’ll concur.
So I’ll bring my new gir—
lfriend, Amanda,
next Thur—
sday.

And — er —

is that OK?
