I Pose for my neighbours (short novel and paintings)

 

To my neighbors, I am the man who at 40 gave in to the appetites and urges of an unstoppable 23-year-old and lay in bed naked in order to satisfy all his desires

He let this younger man make him feel like a woman and take all his masculinity away

For his neighbors, the 23-year-old was a dude and someone who was allowed to be spoiled

 

 

From the day he made love to me, I feel and think like a woman

I dress as a woman and my conservative neighborhood sneers and comments negatively

But the same people discover in the evenings that I am more lustful than their wives, who are tired of them after so many years of marriage.

 

In the evenings when they have sex, if they can't find another woman they come to Alexandra to promise her love if they have sex with her

To take some of the pleasures that her body offers and with the first light of the sun to return to their dignified normality

 

And in the morning when I go out on the street I will hear everyone mocking the man who feels like a woman and lets other men have sex with him...but they never say who those men are

 

I don't mind though, this is how men have always been and this is how they will be
