Becki jokes that she thought I wasn’t coming back. I laugh and say I ran into the elderly and very eccentric man that owns the mom son sex brownstone next door. She chuckles and says she’s surprised I made it back at all. She knows the neighbor’s habit of retelling the same stories, in incredible detail, about who occupied which house in the neighborhood 50 years ago. I sit down in the living room and put on The Pixies’ Debaser and, then, Babyshambles’ Fuck Forever, Pete Doherty’s junkie ode to dope dick. “What is that?” mom son sex Becki says, hearing the chorus that goes, “Fuck foreeeeevvvvveeerrrr.” “It’s called Fuck Forever,” I say. “It’s not very Thankgivingy.” “It’s a short song. When it’s done, I’ll put on Arcade Fire, okay?” I am antsy about Maggie sitting across the street, waiting to speak at greater length and threatening to buzz the door. If the latter occurs, everyone around the Thanksgiving table will have more to talk about than the skyrocketing price of real estate in Park Slope and the detestable nature of the proposed Frank Gehry basketball arena and high rise residential and office complex.
