Every day this scene would repeat itself. Without ever arranging it in advance, I would hang around
outside the house and Lucy would come out and invite me in to play in her garden. We would play
3
doctors and nurses. Silly baby stuff, considering that we were eleven-year-olds.
     Soon I was deeply in love with Lucy. There is no other way to describe it. And it was more poignant
and intense for the lack of any sexual feeling. Just a hot, sick feeling in my tummy. And when Lucy
6
would start to make fun of me and be cross with me, the feeling was even worse.
     It all came to a head one Saturday afternoon. Lucy and I were listlessly playing and little Chloë
would try to join in, but she was sharply dismissed: “Go away, Chloë!” She hung back, talking sadly to
9
her doll. I was hot and bad-tempered and finally Lucy asked me what the matter was.
    “May I give you a kiss?” I asked.
     Lucy was silent, and I stared down at the ground, astonished at my own boldness, but smugly
12
conscious of having turned the tables.

[...] Suddenly I have kids smoking and drinking at my shows, people in their 20s, 30s, and I’m looking into their eyes, and I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t say, ‘Everybody, let’s pinky-promise that you’re beautiful!’ It doesn’t work that way, and I know it because I’m dealing with the same shit they’re dealing with. What I wanted to say is that life is so stressful, and I get the desire to just escape it. But I wasn’t figuring my own stuff out, so I felt I had no wisdom to share. And so maybe I thought everybody out there was thinking, ‘This is a waste of time’.”
