The card says twenty six kilometres. It does not say ninety minutes
- Looking for
- something ongoing, arranged in advance, with me doing the driving
- Experience
- Five years, one dynamic of three years.
- Around
- the 905, Toronto
The card on your screen says I am twenty six kilometres away. What it does not say is that on a Friday at six that is ninety minutes and on a Sunday morning it is thirty five, and that nobody I have matched with in two years has ever asked which one they were getting.
Thirty three, submissive, out in the 905, and I made my peace long ago with doing all the travelling. I do not expect anyone to come out here. What I would like is for the number on the card to be the start of a conversation instead of the end of one.
Five years in. One dynamic of three years that ended when she moved out of the province, and a long quiet since that I have not enjoyed.
What I want is something ongoing with a dominant downtown or in the east end, on a schedule agreed in advance rather than decided that afternoon. I am reliable to the point of dullness. If I say seven, I am there at ten to.
What keeps happening instead is a fortnight of good conversation and then a version of the sentence, you are pretty far out, aren't you. Yes. I have been pretty far out the whole time. It was on the card in the corner.
Nothing at short notice, please. Short notice and this drive have never once worked together.
