Two people who should not copulate will
copulate in a motel room
tonight. The man, keen on contributing
genetic emissions to these types
of endeavors, will do so. The woman, who has
known this man for two
weeks, has opted for the rhythm method,
though her rhythm is terribly
syncopated, and tonight her eggs are in her
basket. The prostrate and
seminal vesicles secrete clear fluids that,
along with spermatozoa, make
up semen. The fluid's alkalinity aids in
counteracting the acidity
common in the vaginal tract; thus prolonging
the lifespan of the sperm.
The prostrate is made up of 'smooth muscles'
which are necessary to
expel said fluid with a force somewhere
between breathing and sneezing.
The Pizza delivery man will knock on the
wrong door, for he has been
smoking marijuana all day. A 14-year-old boy
has run away tonight, and
has taken lodging in room 311. Fifteen
minutes ago, he ordered a medium
pizza, murmuring three-eleven in a way that
sounded like three o' seven.
On this rainy night, in room 307, I was to
be conceived. Yes, it's
raining. That was an earnest touch. Thank
you Chief. The woman got
considerably soaked after the movie while
walking to the parking lot.
Inside the car, the man pats her down with
napkins and brings her closer
to him; closer and closer, until their lips
meet. The pizza dough is now
in the oven. It will be ready in 12 minutes.
The man and woman check
into a motel, enter room 307, and are met by
the voice of Denzel
Washington. The TV is playing Malcolm X on
TBS. "Turn Malcolm off," the
woman says. The man grabs the remote and,
without even aiming, does so.
The pizza is done, its crust is even hard.
Time can change anything,
with thermodynamics. The man and woman
undress, slowly, tentatively. The
pizza delivery man drives down Minerva Ave.
listening to the songs he
listened to when he was a teenager. The man
inserts his penis inside the
woman and starts moving the lower half of
his body. The pizza delivery
man enters the motel parking lot, parks,
takes one last hit, looks at
the order slip, gets out of the car, and
walks up the stairs. He finds
the number 307 on a door. The 14-year-old
boy is waiting for his pizza.
He will never get his pizza, and decides not
to run away. The man is
almost there. His prostrate contracts. His
DNA is etched in sperm. The
mozzarella is steaming in the box. Malcolm X
was near-sighted, and had
an overall attitude problem. The universe
does not have a contour. The
rain has stopped, and the new silence is
deafening. A worm curls in
futility on the sidewalk. The man is almost
there. There, there. There
is a knock at the door.
