Dear Vincent,
I missed you so much. Do you want
to break up?
Once upon a time, I was all ready
to unleash the deepest powers of my vagina with a zucchini, but then my vagina
started to bleed, and so the era of power was short-lived, and now it seems
extremely far away.

Once upon a time there was a
well-adjusted fridge with a manageable amount of leaked soy sauce, and spilled mustard.
The well-adjusted fridge was filled with well-adjusted food that suggested that
my clients François and Marie truly loved themselves, and each other, and this
I do not doubt. For example, there were six different kinds of homemade
preserves, and a glass Tupperware of a thawing and clearly nourishing cream
soup, and abundant jars and containers of almonds, and sunflower seeds, and
walnuts, and fresh, inviting vegetables, including two large zucchinis which I
photographed and texted to Sexy Motorcycle George and Freshly Divorced Love of
2009 who I now Call Sexy Motorcycle the Second, and I call this sort of texting,
Polyamorous Zucchini Sexting.

Once upon a time, my right knee
was swollen and covered with baking soda. Broken Delicate Miniature Horse
Ornament Client Linda did not notice that my eyes were swollen too, and also
slightly bruised. Before I could scour her mildewed shower grout with a
toothbrush, Linda asked me to examine her scalp to see if it looked like she
was going bald, and as far as I could tell, she did not seem any more bald than
usual, but I did not think this was the best way of putting things, and thus with
very vague tact, I said, “Well, we all lose our hair in the summer. Just like your
cat.” Linda’s cat’s hair was all over the shelves of her fridge. Linda was
afraid that her hair falling out is the sign of some terrible disease. On a post-it
stuck to her computer, Linda had scrawled a list entitled, "Erica
needs," and my needs were summarized as baking soda, dish soap, vinegar,
sponges, paper towel, and a toothbrush. I think if you told me you had a cat,
and that its hair was all over the bottom of your fridge, and that you watched
golf, all this could cure some of my undying love, though my sad and empty
fridge, however free of cauliflower chunks, is certainly not that well-adjusted
either.
Love, Erica.
