The Zoo
I went on a first date with a woman named Maria Félix, like the iconic Mexican actress. We met online, through a poker website. “Why did you pick the zoo?” she asked. “Why not?” I asked. “Because it’s weird for a first date,” she said. “I wanted you to see my adventurous side,” I said. “Well, okay, what’s your favorite animal?” she asked. “I like flamingos and jaguars,” I said. “Nice,” she said. “I like koala bears and toucans.” “Perfect,” I said. “Want to get a drink?” she asked, “they have a bar in the back.” “Sounds great,” I said. The rest of the night we discussed mixed martial arts and contemporary ballet. The animals were in the blurred background. Shitting and growling.
