Kissed a Fool

by G. Kenneth Weir

Fool, fool, I kissed a fool, and God help me I don’t know what to do. The orbs I made love to over sushi are now as windows to a desert. Even the lashes I studied as I tongued and sucked fill me now with a desire to mutilate. I don’t care a whisker for what this hollow shell before me is saying. Its dreams are absurd, its expressions of joy and amusement grotesque. There is but one thing left for me — I must wipe the little mirror clean and try again.
