Touch. It is touch that is the deadliest enemy of chastity,
loyalty, monogamy, gentility with its codes and conventions
and restraints. By touch we are betrayed and betray others
… an accidental brushing of shoulders or touching of
hands … hands laid on shoulders in a gesture of
comfort that lies like a thief, that takes, not gives, that
wants, not offers, that awakes, not pacifies. When one flesh
is waiting, there is electricity in the merest contact.
