Innocence
[…] The parrot was in the church. When the man asked whether anyone knew a reason for us not to marry, it squawked, ‘Cunt flaps.’ My bride bent double with laughter, and even though we made our vows I knew the marriage was over.

Coping
[…] When the shop’s shut, I cope by telling myself that my favourite picture of her is real. I spend my evenings at the piano, singing love songs to her photographed face, and occasionally licking the black keys because they remind me of her skin.

’I gotta go score,’ my girlfriend would say at three or four a.m. She would return hours later considerably out of pocket. She seemed healthy enough. Her eyes still sparkled and her cheeks glowed. ‘You look well,’ I would say.
‘Thank you. I know.’
I told her I wanted an addiction too. ‘We’re a couple. We should do things together.’ I pestered her until finally, she confessed to never having taken heroin in her life. She wouldn’t tell me anything else, but I looked everywhere, and eventually found the money. She’d stitched it into the mattress, like a crazy old woman.
