it was funny(not really) the
things that amused people(not really)
that they found in their partners only after they partnered up
he often wondered if originally it wasnt deceit
or otherwise occurring down a road they hadnt wandered earlier in
their relationship an honest oversight or if the realisation accreted and thereafter
they chose to leave the path unexhumed lay dormant until it shook its head and reemerged to amuse them(not really)
he learned these things when they
boiled to the surface inadvertently(not really) during conversation
he was floored they unburdened
themselves on him rather than discussing it with their mates
they hinted initially the musing was superficial hardly worth noticing
however now committed they were necessarily
stuck
the old saying that served his
mother endlessly
You’ve made
your bed, now sleep in it he gamely altered Youve made your bed now sleep with it appeared fully unfurled relentless
without sympathy
this particularly
examination -- returning to the scene of yet another
crime --
occurred before he slept(they didnt sleep) with his buddys wife
she liked to think that she
seduced him
he had no reason to alter her thinking or perception
her husband turned out not to be much of a buddy
he killed that when he privately
confessed to him that he was sleeping around while away on business trips
Why would you do that to your
wife he asked
Dont be square man What she doesnt
know wont hurt her
he asked What if she slept around
on you
Her Shes a mouse She wouldnt
she was no mouse when he was with
her
she was absolutely voracious inspired
she was easily one of the best beddings hed ever enjoyed
which suggested to him his buddys
enthrall with her had waned or he was one of those dogs who
had to have a new bone because he gnawed the old bone tasteless
or thought it was
tasteless
he could assure him otherwise
she unfortunately disregarded her
husbands prior failed relationships
when he mentioned them to her(innocently)
she said she understood they failed because he hadnt met the right woman
Or he interrupted he was the common
thread
she scoffed
he made her swallow her scoff with eyes bright with tears from choking
he never did find out if she told
her husband of the affair or if her husband buried his old bone or admitted to his
infidelities
he made a trip to Amsterdam to celebrate
VanGoghs 100th birthday
he still hadnt returned to the States
