Curious as to why you chose an image of Christopher Hitchens with his second wife, who appears to be in her mid-30s here, to illustrate a poem about underage mistresses.

Because nobody knows who she is, so pick one, the wife or the legend. No disrespect to her, she must have been great, it just so happens that the photo is meaningful to me because I remember looking and thinking she looked beautiful and a bit similar to me? So maybe I could get a guy who writes like Hitchens? But no, I didn’t want to marry the polemicist. I wanted to fight the battle myself.

Interesting that you picked this picture. Christopher Hitchens was married to Eleni Meleagrou, a Greek woman for a short time but then divorced and soon married an American English woman, Carol Blue. Hitchens was also bisexual but as he aged ony women wanted him not men or so he says. He could have been on the down-low. all that time. Are you trying to say or imply something with this picture? I noticed a lot of non-Greek men get divorced from Greek women, mostly from Greece. I wonder why. Probably something to do with Greek women?
