iii. dating

/ / / you have to live

sadie
the game could be kind of grindy
but it was still better than real life

once a week i’d get a phone call from my mother back in ohio
she was in a state of perpetual despair:

susan (as mother)
“well i’ve got nothing to tell you
there’s nothing to report!
there’s nothing to say
because there’s nothing to do!”

sadie
and i’d say
“no mom!
you’re still alive!
you have to live
you have to live!”

i would see myself reflected in her
and it would drivе me crazy
take up a hobby! learn somеthing new!
bake! garden! read! knit!
sadie & zippy
exercise!

sadie
of course i didn’t tell her that my lockdown project
was reconstructing her mother’s house in a video game
which would have appalled my grandmother—
such a wastoid!

zippy
aw sadie
you’re just still adjusting to single life
not having someone else around all the time
to absorb all your worst thoughts
maybe you should try dating?

sadie
but the world is still—

zippy
no sadie!
you’re still alive!
you have to live!

all
you have to live!
sadie
so after six months of not touching another human
and one particularly depressing phone call with my mom
i got on the apps!
