Hello, Again by C. Jak Mussington

I masturbate to strangers walking down the street. All of them have your face. I started saying, “hello” to anyone. I'm desperate. Some say, “goodbye.” Some kind of listen, twirl their hair. I'll have sex. I'll tell them to call me. They’ll leave. I’ll open the shades. I’ll masturbate again.
