Asaf

I was impressed by his equipment
All he had to do was move get on top of me
Or move me on top of him
And I felt great
He didn’t have to make any effort
So he didn’t
He was a surfer
He’d been to Sri Lanka and Indonesia on trips
Just to surf
He want to go to Jeffrey’s Bay
He was impressed I’d heard of it
Obviously, I said, I’m South African
He liked that I knew the band Sublime
I pointed out how weird that lyric was in What I Got
How it goes from how the guy likes Dalmatians to how he loves getting high
How I always imagined the guy picking up the dog by the tail, and smoking it
He kind of laughed
He had a beautiful tribal tattoo above his collar bone
I usually hate tribal tattoos the way I hate butterfly tattoos
So generic and overdone and meaningless and unoriginal
But I loved his
It was genuinely a work of art
He helped me change the sheets before
He brought beer
South Africans love to drink, he said, like he was telling me something
I was so relieved
Israelis don’t seem to drink
It was nice fun relaxing comfortable
He never called again
Even after I called him
Apparently what Israeli women don’t ever do
Is sleep with a guy on the first date
If they want to be taken seriously.

    it is also said..
    that israeli
    women
    while knowing
    they possess
    a soul
    become
    useless
    and
    cruel
