The Old Fogey Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur Iam not sure about The Mistletoe. On the one hand, it encourages spontaneous smooching, which I am all for. But on the other hand, it makes one the object of spontaneous kissing, which I am not all for, unless I can vet the would-be kissers. Of course, back in MY day, kissing was something that took place only after one had known a young lady or gentleman for at least 15 years, and was pre-arranged for a public place at exactly noon, with a dozen chaperones in each camp, and a sworn-in witness from either the judiciary or constabulary on hand to ensure no boundaries were crossed. And that kiss had to be no longer than one and a half seconds, with one’s tongue protruding from the SIDE of one’s mouth at all times so that witnesses could be sure that nothing “French” or otherwise untoward was going on. And a gentleman had to be very careful that his kisses were not so potent so as to make a lady swoon from excitement, nor so powerful that she had the air sucked from her lungs and subsequently passed out. All of that changed, of course, in the time of Free Love, and in our city’s Cape Gay era. Back in those days, one was lucky to receive a kiss as a hasty fare-thee-well token as one’s paramour du jour left in the morning, both parties unsure of the other’s identity or even gender, for that matter. Of course I was an expert kisser, being possessed of naturally strong lips and having spent a college gap year as the only male under the age of 50 (I was 17) at an all-girl’s horseback-riding school in the Swiss Alps. I swear, by evening I was oft so exhausted from locking lips that it was all I could do to lie down on the grass and, as I slept, various young ladies would kiss my upturned mouth, which still had enough instinctive kissing ability that the sound of their hearts thumping would sometimes wake me. Still, I was not unhappy to have the art of kissing more regulated, so that I was able to enjoy a simple walk through our fair city without being pounced upon (I had no time for this nonsense unless it was by the Late Mrs D’Catur, who had such passion for me that if I was gone for more than an hour, she would upon my return spring on me like a tiger). And so I am vaguely in favor of mistletoe, in that if I can see it in the room, and ensure there are none of those sorts of ninnies present who tape a sprig to their hat and prowl around looking foolish and puckered, then I can pick my moment to enjoy a peck on the lips. I am off to apply lip balm and prepare myself for your attentions… November 26, 2020 EXIT ZERO Page 35
