After a long tutelage in self-control, it hardly registered with Darius that Alan and he no longer had sex and that he never went to the Claremont apartment anymore, never saw Tom Samuels. Darius had such a feeble perception of time passing that he almost thought it had always been like this. Time was unreal. He could wander to a different spot in time whenever he wished, out of sight of the place he’d been before. He did once come upon Tom browsing eight or so early disco records laid out on a peddler’s blanket on Broadway. He went over to him and noted quizzically, “We never see each other anymore.” It wasn’t that Darius was demonstrating insane self-control, as Tom might have thought. The beautiful boy pulled his hair aside to eye Darius as he would look at a door through which someone was expected to come at any moment. But just then Darius didn’t know why he and Tom never saw each other. He couldn’t help looking Tom up and down, thinking he’d like to start seeing more of him. Or, since getting to know someone involves a notion of time passing, that he’d like to be the type of person who got along easily with Tom. And too bad he wasn’t.
