I Am a Woman
Ann Bannon
She looked round the Cellar with Laura following her gaze. ‘I know most of the girls here…I’ve probably slept with half of them. I’ve lived with half of the half I’ve slept with. I’ve loved half of the half I’ve lived with.’
‘L for Love,’ Beebo said, looking into space. “L for Laura.’ She turned and smiled at her, “.L for Lust and L for the L of it, L for Lesbian, L for Let’s – let’s,’ she said, and blew smoke softly into Laura’s ear.
