#FictionalDatingSiteBio

author’s note: this an homage to #AllenGinsberg’s
‘personals ad’ (from cosmopolitan greetings),
revised from a 2014 draft.

i neither have an online dating profile nor am
i ‘looking’ for someone: my personal life
is no one’s entertainment but my own.

hello, and thanks for visiting this mannequin-faced #geek,
age 48 going on 25 on a good day, 65 on a bad one.
#introverted, #octopus-like: a liquid-soft #animal
relying on great #intelligence: #filipino in many
unimagined ways: tall, non-athletic yet fit
(calisthenics, #MartialArts): a morose
#loner, an abstaining addict – yet fun,

surprising, a site-specific #extrovert, rich with comic
charm, surprises, and tenderness. you: must have a
classical heart, a modernist spirit. okay if you’re
not a #poet but you must deeply feel earnest
#poems, #discourses, #socialjustice. please,
adore #music #movies #food #nature #art.
please, practice candor, militant humility.

find me in the #GreatOneEight of angels alone,
like an #elephant in the forest: reading/writing
in solitude like a walking meditation, thinking
of a mentor’s sound advice: search, manage
time for a #darling who will hold you and
lay upon your heart like a sweet, warm
#holiday.
