man in love

The Love Affair
Russell Edson

One day a man fell in love with himself, and was unable to think of anything else but himself.

He wanted to know all about himself, his hobbies, his likings in music and sports.

He was jealous he had not known himself as a child. He wanted to know what kind of a boy he had been...

When asked if he thought it would lead to marriage, he said that that was his fondest wish, that he longed to have babies with himself...
