Athens

This time I was in Athens and met a woman in a park,

she promised me sex a moment of greatness I would

come back to her begging her for more.

I was in my late thirties, knew that sex with a prostitute

was like masturbating, a fantasy only more expensive

I declined, we got talking, and she was like me a communist

she had a university
degree in philosophy having no money

she sometimes sold her body,
but she could not go uptown

in the case she was
recognizable, it was a great night we sat in

a bar drinking ouzo and spoke to early morning and it was

time for me to go back onboard my ship and cook breakfast

For the crew. I don’t
know what happened to her but with

her education she eventually got a good employment and

joined the middle classes and a well to do husband who never

knew of her past yet enslaved by her sexual foresight.
