I STILL LOVE BALDYMONK

Shortly after I threw away my first bra, my mother and I went to hear Leonard Cohen read in a classroom at UBC. It was his first tour and my first orgasm.

Leonard wore his guitar and a black leather jacket. I was done for.

My alarmed mother recognised the agonised ecstatic expression on my face and took me to the Faculty Club for a huge lunch, three desserts. For families unwilling to send hormonal daughters on grand tours to divert the first stirrings of lust, food was a cheap antidote. They could trust a kumquat but couldn't predict what would happen when their daughters encountered equipment adjusting Italian males.

Meditterranean men are my weakness.
