the first paragraph of a chapter I'm working on...
We lay in bed like branches waiting for the wind to blow and brush us up against
the other. We’d used the movie we were watching like branches use the fact they’re on the same tree or planted too close to each other as excuses to be where we were, lying there, waiting for the wind. The movie was on and playing and the things that were happening were happening but without much conviction tonight, or at least as far as I was concerned. Times like those make me think about writing letters to the studios suggestion screenings where all the test audiences are couples that’re yet to be couples should go and instead of individual seats they should have couches so lying down is possible and then they should show their movies and maybe have a special holding hands time designated so couples who might just in fact become real couples can play around with finger brushings and web between thumb and index exploring and maybe brushing up the wrist and forearm happen a little and then those folks will know for sure there’s no kidding around here they should just get to it. After that screening I’d like to know what the folks think because so many times I’ll love the movie but not really have that much interest when it comes down to the interest I have in wrist bone stroking and forefinger playing.
