burps quietly whenever she hears La Marseillaise
eats taramasalata and fried grapes almost every morning
kissed a diseased frog that was actually an anemic toad
requires a rutabaga or yam to fully appreciate an orgasm
keeps every fingernail and toenail she’s ever clipped
never removed her socks in the presence of a man
prefers violent condemnation to shallow praise and flattery

XI. Mademoiselle Novembre
