“This skin, stitched with the silence of each woman before me, tightens each time I try to move differently. My hands carry her habits folding towels with precision, biting the inside of her cheek instead of speaking. I learned early that a woman’s grief should look like grace. When I say I’m tired, I mean: my spine bends in the same places hers did. when I cry, It’s always near the stove, as if inherited sorrow prefers the scent of something burning. I try to unlearn her footsteps, walk backward through time, but even my sorrow wears her name.”

“Just as women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion while men have a small country road, men have a Chicago’s O’Hare Airport as a hub for processing thoughts about sex whereas women have the airfield nearby that lands small and private planes. That probably explains why eight-five percent of twenty to thirty year old males think about sex every fifty two seconds and women think about it once a day or up to every three or four seconds and woman think about it once a day or up to every three or four hours on their most fertile days. This makes for interesting interactions between the sexes”.”
