In which Slice wades waist-deep into the plaintive muck of Craigslist's Missed Connections in search of pizza-related longing. So come with me, my love, to the swamp of love that spawns this That's Amore. —The Mgmt.
The way you came around the corner with that pizza balanced so perfectly on your right hand while you didn't simply walk, but traveled with speed, grace, and style was a breathtaking sight. Simultaneously, a sway and strut pushed and pulled on eachother to create liquid strides of ease and determination.
I had spent all day in Manhattan, witness to more beauty, style, and sensuality than can be expected from any average day on the island, and yet 100 yards from my front door was the most beautifully stylized display of sensuality I had felt all day.
I would feel guilty about my blatant glare, but your facial features did not contort to the often ugly shapes that convey fear, disgust, or complaceny. Instead, your eyes glowed. Your lips curled slighty up. Your nostrils flared the slightest bit.
For me, that may be the only moment you play a part in. Without doubt that pizza was shared with the person that had made you feel so light on your feet that you could glide so effortlessly along the Brooklyn sidewalk. That quick moment still had power and dripped with humanity and will stick with me.
I looked up and said it was fine and looked down. It took me a while to realize how beautiful you were. you went into driggs pizza i was going to follow you but i was kinda high. i can't believe i am posting this. this is fun. hope life is swell.
I was at Upper Crust in Brookline around 9pm this past Friday night. I was a tall brunette with a pink t-shirt with a tiger on it and jeans hanging out with my friend Julie, a blonde who is shorter than me. You were a blonde guy with a backpack sitting by yourself right near us enjoying a slice. I must tell you, you were so attractive you made me do a double-take. I only wish I had had my game on that night so that I had said hello to you. I was checking you out and you were checking me out, too, but neither of us said hi. Right when I got enough courage to maybe broach a hello, you left. I hope you had a nice night and I hope I see you again. You made getting pizza all the more interesting that evening.
