Questions of authenticity, sexuality and art are asked and answered between estranged friends. To Nancy, Lynn was a model liberated woman who regressed in her relationships and lifestyle. And now she's done it again - fallen for a guy more macho than the one before. But Lynn is making progress as a poet; she sees her journey as inward, not backward. And despite her previous heartaches, she thinks #5 should be a keeper - the sex is good, plus he supports her writing. In response to Nancy's challenge, she reflects on her loves and losses, her prospects for the future, and poetry.
