And now, my mopping meditation.

(water dripping into metal bowl)

(metal bowl scraping wood floor)

(amplified mopping sounds)

(squeak of the wet rag)

(creaking floor)

? Blessed

heavy body.

Blessed

Sweat and bone.

Babe we�re gonna be together.

Together til the final slumber.

Better get right with each other.

Better get right

with each other.

(underwater bubbling sound)

(upbeat mystical music)

As I work my way through my route, I reward each neighborhood's friendliness.

Good morning.

The number of �hellos� per block determines

the order for the next day�s delivery.

I pay close attention to my animal messengers,

which are most often birds.

(wings flapping)

Who shows up,

how many, and what they do all affect how to interpret

the message.

(crows cawing)

(dog barking)

Hey. No no no no.

That's medical.

The cart.

Medical cart?

Not the Queen's throne, for goodness sake.

See, medical says that.

Thank you.

(Dafnah sighs)

You know.

They have testing now.

- So I could test and isolate. - We could...

No, it's too risky, sweetheart, and I'm okay,

I promise I take care of myself in my imagination.

You know, right now I see you tied to this tree

nude, and I think you're screaming.

And why am I screaming? (Veronica laughs)

Fire poker?

Yeah, that's what it is.

Hot little spots up

your leg slowly to that point.

Oh, sorry.

You know, my imagination.

Lucky for me.

Yeah. You are a good girl.

You know, I met a girl on the beach when I first got into this.

Brought her upstairs. Played.

She said I could make a fortune doing this.

And then the next week, working in a dungeon.

Maybe a minute later, working in my own

dungeon, 20 girls working for me.

All because I imagined it.

I knew what I could do, and then I needed to get sober.

And, you know, with a sober outlook,

You're not sure who has the power if someone's paying.

The one with the cash.

She has the power.

Don't forget.

You know, it's not my first plague.

1982 someone died every week of AIDS.

Couldn't go to the club without another memorial sign.

(audible exhale)

It's not done with us yet.

And neither is this pandemic.

We got to stay safe.

(sniff)

Bend over something for me, would you?

That's my girl.

Are you almost finished?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Well, when you finish up, I'll leave the money in the milk door.

You know how I love you to beg for it.

Thank you.

(low sad music)

Hey, Ronnie.

[inaudible] heard you were in the hospital or something.

Yeah, well, I'm out now.

Well, um are you coming back to the lab or like what tomorrow?

No, actually,

I think it's going to be a little longer than that.

That's

just between you and me here.

I'm not coming back to the lab.

[inaudible mumbles]

Yeah, right.

Can you do me a favor though?

Can you send me a couple test kits?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Same address as my checks.

[inaudable mumbling]

I mean, Drosophila is fine

unless you can find something bigger.

[inaudible mumbling]

Thanks, Ronnie.

Take care.

(coughing)

(labored breathing)

(Emotional music)

Oh. Okay.

(sigh)

(phone ringing)

Hey. What's up?

Well, I think I disconnected my speakers somehow,

and I'm just wondering if you would look it up for me?

You know, if you got with the internet age, you'd be able to do all this.

You know that, right?

I know but I have you.

Oh my gosh. And...

(messege sent sound)

There.

Thank you.

Guess what else? What?

The fitness witch is going to see me tonight.

Oh my God honey.

So much for taking it slow but that's great.

So, you're going to be safe okay.

So safe.

We're going to wear, like, masks and be outside.

Six feet. Everything.

Does she know you're a whore?

A professional lover?

Thank you. (Siren laughs)

I wouldn't have pegged you,

of all people that would be ashamed of what you do.

I'm not ashamed.

I will probably tell her tonight.

It just hasn't come up.

Well, honey, I've got to get back to work.

I've got to get back to work.

I meet her in two hours!

I love you.

Love you. I love you. Love you.

And, Daf?

Yeah?

Are you going to keep those eyebrows?

? Oooh ooooh. ?

It is ultimately our fertile minds,

holding lifetimes of thinking patterns and preoccupations

That are being uprooted and replanted as we approach a new chapter in our lives,

as we deal with disruptive forces in our day to day life.

Our thoughts as much as our words,

will be especially potent at this time.

Be careful what you wish for.

You may just get it.

You say that your mom's a rabbi, right?

Yeah.

It's so refreshing to talk to somebody so untainted.

Religion organized everything we did growing up.

What made you stop being religious?

I still am.

Or I try to live in a certain way.

It's just not for that kind of God anymore.

What is it for?

You're very good at asking questions.

Does it bother you? On the contrary.

I enjoy being prodded.

What do you do for work?

I'm unemployed.

What did you do for work?

(Dafnah sighs uncomfortably)

Um, I was in service,

and occasionally I picked up gigs for Pool Boi productions.

Have you heard of them?

They're like the only radical dyke porn company.

You didn't mention you were a porn star.

(laughs)

I'm far from a star.

I cannot act for shit.

I'm more like �water slide honey three.� I'm filler.

Don't try to make a dirty joke.

(both laugh)

What about you?

How did you come to work for the Postal Service?

I've always loved checking the mail.

The excitement, the possibility.

Discourse through tactile objects, moving through space.

It's very intimate when done right.

But on a daily basis, it keeps me moving outside

and out here, my mind is more or less my own.

Julia calls it my walking meditation.

Julia?

My lover,

Julia? My lover, my ex.

I mean, my ex.

It's over.

Have you ever loved somebody so much,

It's like a hole in your soul?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

(sound of a heliccopter)

How do you feel about surveillance?

It's getting noticeably worse.

It's like every day.

No, I mean, as a kink?

I don't follow.

I'd like to observe you.

Watch you when you're alone.

See how you move.

We could call it consensual surveillance.

I actually think I'd like that.

Okay, so I have this app that we could use...

Oh, no no, no, no.

Nothing through the phone or internet.

I agree to you watching me.

Not them watching me.

But without a camera, how am I going to...

Well, I live on the first floor.

Let's just say here�s permission to spy on me any time in person.

No recording.

Hmm, nice. No recording. Nice.

I would offer the same, but I live on the second floor and I have a roommate.

Well, reciprocity is overrated.

- I like that. - But you're not off the hook.

I like that. But you're not off the hook.

How about you come up with some way to share your intimate world with me?

No phones or internet.

(laughs)

(a rodent squeaks)

(laughs) Ahh!

Ahh!

Did you see the mouse?

(they laugh)

(calm music)

(helicopter sounds)

Hi Bee bee!

Hi my love.

(v.o.) Michael is my play husband.

He's HIV positive and so tries not to leave the house at all.

Look at you.

You look so cute in your space suit.

You look like, Like a little queer Sally Ride.

Sally Ride was queer, you dodo.

I knew that.

So the drama continues in my apartment.

Okay. What's going on?

And I swear that the construction next door is literally going to kill me.

Yeah?

The parking situation is driving me insane.

Like, don't even get me started.

You know the building manager?

No, not that guy.

So he has the nerve to try to come in to fix a leak, which he insists is coming

from my place, which I've told him, like, three times, that it isn't.

But he's trying to get in with a bunch of guys who like I don't even know.

Mind you, in the middle of a fucking pandemic.

Unacceptable.

With, like, no warning.

So what happened?

Well, I mean, what was I supposed to do?

I just told them, like, fucking come back.

Like, at least, like, you�re legally required to tell me that you're coming.

Not to mention that it is a pandemic.

And like, I haven't left the house in, like,

months, except to maybe go to the store.

What's, what's with the binoculars?

Oh, this.

I'm seeing of a woman later.

I'm going to spy on her.

Why?

- I'm going to spy on her. Why? - To get to know her.

And we kind of agreed on it.

Y'all are some weird motherfucking lesbians.

Why don't you tell me about this?

I don't know.

Well, do you like her?

I mean, we both have a mutual love for the moon.

You like her!

But don't worry. Okay?

I'm going to keep you safe.

We won't get too close.

Well, I appreciate it, but

you don't have to stop things on account of me.

Like, I would feel really horrible if you did.

But I love you.

I love you, too.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. Am I in your way?

Oops.

(sweeping sounds)

(sweeping sounds)

Listen.

You're trespassing.

I'm going to call the police.

Seriously? The police?

I have permission.

Why don't you just mind your own business?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. It's okay. It's okay.

She's invited here.

It's an art project. Okay.

Thank you, Janet.

But you ought to tell me long ago.

Now I'm like a stupid.

Thanks.

Do you mind if I take this off

since we�re out here?

So sorry you caught me doing something so boring.

Are you disappointed you weren't touching yourself, when I was looking in?

Actually, it's always kind of been a chore for me.

A chore?

That's sad.

Don't you think this is a bit much?

What do you mean?

I mean, my neighbor could have

told my landlord, and I'm not exactly in good standing here.

Maybe try and be a little more discreet.

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I�m sorry I thought the ladder would be a good idea and

I think I'm losing her.

Julia?

Well sometimes

you just have to let people go. You know.

It's not like that.

It's not about the breakup.

She's just so full of conviction.

Nothing else holds weight.

Do you think you could communicate that to her?

I don't know.

She's just,

she feels gone.

Like in a mental health way?

No, that's not what I'm saying.

She feels that everybody holds that against her.

And I promised I would never.

Holds what against her?

Her bipolar stuff.

But is she suffering?

Everybody's suffering.

That's the point.

She actually sees everything for what it is.

She makes all the connections

and sees all the ugliness all of the time.

It's just that she refuses to unsee it.

To her, it's not about suffering.

It's about truth.

And I believe her, I just.

It hurts.

Go take out that trash.

Bingo!

Hey.

Let me pamper you.

Let me give you a bath in my house.

Listen, I'll open all the windows.

I'll sanitize everything before you get there.

I'll be outside while you're inside.

When I come back in, I'll sanitize everything.

It can work.

You�re so ready to care.

Oh, shit. Shit!

Oh, shit.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

I stood too close.

Do you want to wash your hands?

I have hand sanitizer in the car.

I�m sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey. What time?

What?

For my bath tomorrow.

? ? Tidal waves come

crashing down.

I know you. ?

Antionie. Antonie.

I have to do this.

Please understand.

It's what I've been telling you.

(coughs)

? Why don�t you come over

one more time so I show you what your love could be like. ?

Just try to forget about me.

I love you.

Julia, why do you think you have to do this alone?

Antonie, I am literally contagious.

We could still talk or text.

I can't.

I can't be doing that anymore. I'm sorry.

But why?

? Come back after all night. ?

I'm changing.

Julia are you serious?

I'm sorry.

I love you.

Take care Antonie.

Wait!

? Chasing the cityscape.

I'll catch a ride home.

See you another day.

Closer and closer. ?
