Cigarettes after Rex


Why are you smiling Gill

I was just thinking

What would your parents think

If they came into this room

Would they be shocked

Whatever for

I am in bed with the person I love

Who just happens to be a woman

What does Rex think of me

He thinks the world of you

Really I have always found him quite homophobic

He has no problem with gay girls especially you

Rex thinks that it is just the natural order of things

I tend to agree with him

But I do find male homosexuality rather crude

They tend to fuck anything that moves and spread disease

A little harsh but I can see where you are coming from

Rex does not think that they are real men

It reminds me of the what my father was like

I need not ask what his trans views are

He considers them as being mentally ill

Men are such strange creatures with such hard borders

Whereas girls like us have very soft borders

We have both been with men and are not exclusively dykes

It is a win win situation the best of both worlds

Do you mind if I smoke Beth

Go ahead

Do you want one

I did not know that you smoked

Only the odd one usually when I am exhausted

I remember my father had a smokers toy

On his bedside cabinet

I adored it when I was a child

It was plastic and in the shape of a coffin

Nice

If you pushed the lid it opened

And a skeleton on a spring stood up

On the lid of the coffin was written

Poor Old Fred
He Smoked in Bed

It took me years to get the joke

Are you hungry

Yes I am famished

Is there much in the fridge

There usually is

When is Rex due back

Not until very late as he has gone to the rugby international

Do you like rugger

Yes Daddy used to play it to a good level

He used to take us along to see Gloucester

What about you

Thirty hunky men rolling around in the mud

How could any girl resist that

True but no ideas okay

And you

The thought never crossed my mind
