Description
Sometimes I am Alicia. I put on the long golden wig that I styled after her yearbook photo and color my lips Pink Petal, which I know is her shade because I followed her to Clinique and asked the sales clerk for all the same items. I study myself in the mirror, holding her picture until we blur together. Then I lie on my bathroom floor and think Tom, Tom, till the buzzing fades, my fingers stiff and cramped. The light in the hall grows dim. The neighbor children screech and squeal on the rusty swing set next door, and somewhere, Tom and Alicia are making love. He slides into her and she is not the same. She is me, I am her, and Tom is loving us. I pull up my panties and let out the cat and the fan churns the same stale air. On Monday I watch the children at recess. It is my third semester working at the center and I know each child's missing tooth and the day it was lost. I squeeze Connor's hand too hard and he cries, but he forgives me when I let him have chocolate milk and the others have to drink plain. On the way home I walk three blocks past my apartment just in case and then I circle back through the alley.
