The European Experience # 32

'' My name is Kris. With a K, '' he yells to me over the loud music at the club. Kris with a K makes me smile. He is an Opera singer who grooves to Old Skool Green Day.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Every Friday afternoon at the Opera House, there is a '' tea dance ''. All the old timers get fancied up and come and dance the chacha or the Merange to a live band. There is an aged couple dancing together; the gentlemen is chacha-ing with a cane. Kris and I laugh at the beauty of the tea dance.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kris has snuck us into the theatre to watch a rehearsal for the ballet. The beauty takes our breath away.
-------------------------------------------------------------
'' I will be good in this life to be reincarnated as a ballet dancer in the next, '' I said.
'' You want to live a life in pain, '' he replies.
'' Pain is part of what it is to be beautiful, '' I answer.
-------------------------------------------------------------
'' Dancers in rehearsal wear these tattered clothes only held together by mere threads. These strategically worn vestments frame their bodies so, in their minds, the dancers say to themselves ' I am wearing these god-forsaken rags and you still want me!' ,'' Kris tells me.
I agree. I know the pain of desire.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pain is beautiful. Beauty is painful.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The dancers krush my heart with their beautiful movement that it causes such pain in my soul.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I have a krush on Kris with a K.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I want our hands to touch, our eyes to meet, our lips to curve into a smile.
-------------------------------------------------------------
My desire is painful.

how do you find homo's everywhere you go.
are homo's universal?
am i being offensive? i hope so.
miss you.
none of my other friends are available for a beer at such late notice.

You are offending me, artsmonkey, but only because you write "homo's" when you are writing about the plural for homo. There should be no apostrophe unless you mean something that belongs to a particular homo.

Thanks Electron Sean!

artsmonkey said...

sorry skinny.... what if i said homo's pants? or homo's asses?

skinny-rabbit said...

that's alright, as long as those things belong to one homo only. If the asses belong to two or more homo, then shame.

artsmonkey said...

homos' asses?

skinny-rabbit said...

I do believe that is acceptable.
