Moment 173: Statue of an Egg (Jesus Weed reprise)

Then she came back for another evening. Chinese food, whiskey, weed, a movie, talking too much about things that don’t matter. Just a man and a woman slowly losing their minds together, that’s all. You wonder what it is that keeps the two of you stuck here like this, brushing up against each other as if any of it means anything. How often can you meet before something happens?—each nursing a separateness like some giant bird egg kept cradled in a shirtfront, pressed against the sternum, this part of you jealously guarded from the other. When it gets too late, she’ll have you follow her up the stairs and to the bedroom, to fuck her again and again, and still neither of you will be satisfied. The shell, instead of cracking, simply hardens, turns cold, becomes a statue of an egg only ever just about to crack. If only either of you had acted differently, better, sooner.
