The Perfect Date
By Lucius Rofocale
I do not film dates out of any sense of perversion - I do so because memory is notoriously unreliable; I often find I miss facial expressions and other non-verbal cues because I am urgently thinking of what to say next while portraying a relaxed demeanor, and these days it is so easy to place a miniature camera in your lapel - you would literally have to look through a magnifying glass to find it - I’m surprised more of my male acquaintances don’t do it ; I have the advantage of returning home and re-viewing the date - alone - free of emotional attachments - and investigate the truth of it - away from prying eyes and the fear of being rejected; playback allows me to identify my dates preferences - I can freeze-frame at pivotal moments easily discerning genuine responses before any social graces,; not only does this give me an idea of the possibilities of the relationship - whether to pursue it - it also allows me to plan dates that will be most enjoyable for her
and if not her, the next
date - perhaps with someone more compatible -lonely - or who really wants me for me - you see, I can offer that insight - that sensitivity … .

Lucius Rofocale was raised by wolves in the wilderness, but despite being ’rescued’ and indoctrinated as Homo-sapiens remains very feral. His work has recently appeared in the 'Clincal ... Brutal' Antholgy by Clinicality Press and 'ditch'. Among his influences are Genesis P-Orridge, Brion Gysin and William S Burroughs. Lucius desires to attack the cultural, social, religious and political Status Quo and have fun doing it. He can be reached at luciusrofocale@live.com.
