My missed connection & redux

My first posting to Craigslist's "Missed Connections" section:

You had me at "Buffet" - m4w - 25

It was a serendipitous encounter to be certain. You sat there, alone, with the overhead light gently caressing your flaxen hair, as you dined in your dark sweater, red sneakers and green bag. There was a slight glint from your complementary spectacles. I could not believe my eyes at first. Could it be true?

I watched, as you slowly, yet methodically consumed piece after piece of all-you-can-eat sushi. I shivered, each time you stood up from your table, disappeared for what seemed like eons, and returned, always with another bulging plate of sushi. You dispatched at least five plates of sushi with ease, and finished with a heaping plate of dessert. It was at that moment that I knew I was falling for you.

I was the Asian man sitting adjacent, jaw agape, consuming less than half your fare. Thank you for the privilege of dining with you from afar. I will always remember how you showed me what it means to love.


this is in or around Herald Square

Redux: A chance encounter with two fetching maidens exploring each other's mouths with their tongues in a phone booth adjacent to a Circuit City. What a night.
