I gotta get up early, when it’s a 7:00 am start.
It’s the rare window of time when your body is genuinely asleep.
When I turn around… It’s Mr Incognito, it’s not Anu… there’s a natural rise and fall in his breathing…
I’m going to be tempted to run my fingers through his hair, give him a kiss on his shoulder, then get myself out of bed quietly…
(Burying his face in his hands) You’re cheating on me with Mr Incognito!
No I’m not. He is you, too. He is…
No. It’s just the body. Default mode. The quiet breathing. It’s like the body is in a comatose state. It’s ok, you can run your fingers through that hair. If you don’t look into Mr Incognito’s eyes, it’s not Mr Incognito. It’s just the body’s default mode.
Oh… okay…?
You can kiss the shoulder. Don’t kiss it on the lips. You don’t know who you’ll activate if you suddenly kiss it on the lips.
Oooh? (Intrigued)…
No! I’m serious. That kind of dawn… energies… it could even be trainwreck. Don’t do it.
LOL. Okay, I promise I won’t kiss the comatose default mode body on the lips when I have to get up early for a 7:00 am work shift.
Don’t let the body lie to you. If it says, “Babe, it’s Anu, come on,” and tries to do anything frisky.
(LOL)… Why wouldn’t it be Anu?
Because Anu will let you go to work peacefully. That’s trainwreck. Being cheeky.
Oh my god… I’m gonna be so tempted…
Don’t do it! Go to work! Just ignore it!

…
Do you get up even earlier to write?
These days, yes… like I started typing this at 4:35 am…
Will you still write when I’m physically there?
I don’t know… I’ve never been in this kind of relationship before.
Yes you have. Because we never stopped. All those other random guys were just experiments. You’ve always been intertwined with me. So get up and write, even when you are physically with me. Keep writing. Whatever you want, whenever you want. You’re a writer. Write.
(Smiling)
