Exploring
In my last blog entry I said
I really want a loving relationship but what I didn’t mention is that I’ve been
seeing someone for just over a month.
He is not the most conventional chocolate
in the box. In fact, there doesn’t even appear to be a box. We’re getting to
know each other and this mainly involves going for walks in the middle of
nowhere and talking incessantly. Fortunately I like that.
A few weeks ago we
even ended up walking for more than two hours in a storm at night on old train
tracks in the Waitakeres. I saw a frog, glow worms and lots of wetas on the
ceiling of a disused tunnel. I don’t know if this is going to be a relationship
or if it already is one, it’s a bit like being inside a weird little mystery.
Tried to find out yesterday but didn’t really get any answers.
What I did get
was a walk into a freezing stretch of water underneath some kind of dam or
bridge. There was lots of graffiti, the worst of which was ‘Eat Children’ with
a badly scrawled cock beside it. I guess you were being instructed to eat
children, or that the children were being told to eat the badly rendered penis.
It didn’t work very well in either case.
The Piscean and I kissed passionately
nonetheless, our frozen feet planted on the mud and interspersed pieces of
broken glass. He lit his tailor made cigarettes and I peered into the water, hoping to see some kind of creature. When I feared I might be getting mild hypothermia we headed
back to his car and consumed dark chocolate.
This might not be a conventional
romance, but it sure isn’t boring. I like spending time with a guy who is more adventurous than me when it comes to exploring the kind of decrepit and yet beautiful locations I would have loved as a child. Who knows what will happen, but he has beautiful eyes and sure can kiss.
