VISION OUT OF THE CORNER OF ONE EYE

Luisa Valenzuela
(Argentina)

It’s true, he put his hand on my ass and I was about to scream bloody murder when
the bus passed by a church and he crossed himself. He’s a good sort after all, I said
to myself. Maybe he didn’t do it on purpose or maybe his right hand didn’t know
what his left hand was up to. I tried to move farther back in the bus--searching for
explanations is one thing and letting yourself be pawed is another--but more
passengers got on and there was no way I could do it. My wiggling to get out of his
reach only let him get a better hold on me and even fondle me. I was nervous and
finally moved over. He moved over, too. We passed by another church but he didn’t
notice it and when he raised his hand on his face it was to wipe the sweat off his
forehead. I watched him out of a corner of one eye, pretending that nothing was
happening, or at any rate not making him think I liked it. It was impossible to move
any farther and he started jiggling me. I decided to get even and put my hand on his
behind. A few blocks later I got separated from him by a bunch of people. Then I
was swept along by the passengers getting off the bus and now I’m sorry I lost him
so suddenly because there was only 7,400 pesos in his wallet and I’d have gotten
more out of him if we’d been alone. He seemed affectionate. And very generous.
