    Dogface

    by Kellie Powell

    Dogface: I don't want to get all Hallmark card on you, but you're my best friend. We've been
    through so much together. You know me better than I have ever let anyone know me. You're
    the first person I've ever met who understands me, who thinks the way I do, who gets me.
    Am I crazy? Am I wrong? Because... you're important to me.

    If you just aren't attracted to me... I could understand that. I know you can't choose who you
    want, you can't control those feelings. The heart wants what the heart wants. If we could
    choose... then I could stop wanting you. I know it doesn't work like that. So, if you just don't
    like me that way... but, you do, don't you? You must. I mean, at least a little? You can't find
    me too repulsive, you're the one who kissed me...

    Did I do something wrong? I mean, was I not... good? Was I too easy? Was I supposed to
    play hard to get? I don't know how to be coy and play games. No one ever explained the
    rules to me. All I know how to do is be honest. And you said that was something you loved
    about me.

    Is it... are you ashamed? Is that why you're pretending like it didn't happen? That's it, isn't it.
    You're ashamed. Right. I mean, who wouldn't be ashamed to be with me? I'm Dogface. You
    can fuck Dogface behind closed doors, but you can't introduce her to your friends. You can't
    bring her home to meet your mom.

    You said... you're not ready. Is anyone ever ready for their life to change? How do you expect
    to learn anything? We'll make all kinds of stupid mistakes and feel like idiots and - welcome
    to the human condition! Trial and error, it's the only way to learn. No one's ever ready.

    You said... you don't want to get serious. But how am I supposed to act casual about
    something this intense, this rare? You're the first person to see me - how can that not be a

    ace-your-audition.com
    big deal? Look at me. How many chances am I going to have in life? I think I could love you.
    I think you could have loved me.

    And if I'm crazy, then I'm crazy. If I'm wrong, then, okay, I'm wrong. But if I'm right, and
    you're just too chickenshit to deal with the possibility of something real and rare and
    dangerous and life-altering, then... then I'm not even sure I would want to love someone so
    stupid!

    (Beat.)

    I think I finally understand why they say that you "lose" your virginity. I always thought that
    was a dumb expression. It makes it sounded like your virginity was this special, sacred thing
    you were supposed to guard with your life. When to me... the fact that I'd never had sex was
    like... a flashing neon sign saying, "Ugly loser" hanging over my head. I was trying to "lose"
    it. Hell, for a couple of years there, I was trying to throw it at anyone who gave me a second
    look.

    But now, I mean... I do feel like I have lost something. Not my purity or innocence or any of
    that... dogmatic bullshit. I've lost... the walls I built to protect myself from feeling... this. I've
    lost the ability to distance myself from the rest of the lowly humans... my position of self-
    deprecating superiority that let me live without hope for all those years...

    I lost my isolation. I let you in. And I gave you the power to hurt me.

    See, I want to be a cat. Because... most cats are very independent creatures. They can be
    domesticated, but, for the most part, they don't really act like pets as much as they act like
    caged predators. They fend for themselves. And sometimes, sometimes, when they want you
    to give them a little affection, they crawl into your lap, and they purr, and they let you pet
    them, and love them. And then, after a little while, they get sick of you, and they scratch
    you, and they jump up and they run away. Cats are fierce. Cats get what they need from
    you, and then they just move on.

    I'm not a cat. I'm a dog. Dogs are not independent. Dogs love you, pretty much
    unconditionally. They are so loyal, it defies all logic. Dogs need you, and they let you know
    that they need you. They need you to love them. They cry when you leave in the morning,
    and they jump for joy when you come home at night. They always want your attention. They
    can't get enough of your love.

    I don't want to be a dog. But I am. I think I always will be.
