I mention an idea for Tryke T-shirts. "They'd say 'Trykes like dykes' on the front," I explain, and 'Dykes like Trykes' on the back. I wonder if anyone would wear them? One of the Avengers looks at me. She is very pretty. I feel something pass between us. "I would wear it," she says. I wonder what she sees, what I've passed as.
