The Third


Mitz rehearses Granger before
her more formal dates.

As in: “You’ve chosen a fine
champagne, Grange. Allow me
to pour?”

Her roommate, Loria. Or Lor Lor.
Always watched in approval.

And helped arrange him in his chair
when the girls left for the dining hall.

One day they hurried, and came back
to find him sprawled face down in
seedy sport jacket and jockeys.

They got him back and fluffed his
pocket handkerchief.

“But you saw his wooden dick!
I know you did! He’s so shy
about that!”

Lor Lor admitted she did, but
found a pair of lycra athletic pants
of hers that would fit wrestler-actor
The Rock.

Would do. Mitz had been waiting for
the end of semester JUNKORAMA
at the Student Union.

Then they had cupcakes.

Everybody grew more comfortable
in time.

Granger’s present outfit: Tennis!
