La Boutique Obscure: 124 Dreams

The actress, I

I am in New York at a gigantic coffee shop.

In Paris, a café terrace, enormous. There are lots of people, especially Algerians, with a vaguely menacing air.

I forget my satchel on the terrace; there are 2,500 francs in it. I go back to get it; obviously, nothing. I am genuinely devastated. My only hope is that I am dreaming (I wake up, relieved).

I’m visiting a female friend (nothing between us, just friends). The actress M.D. arrives. She is a tall woman, pretty and cheerful, with long blond hair; she is naked under a light dress.

I begin touching her, caressing her “absent-mindedly.”

I wind up on top of her, fondling her bare breasts.

I make love to her.
