he was trying to stay focused
she wasnt helping
her bra was too sheer for her formfitting white
blouse
she wasnt deliberately trying to sway his attention
he was naturally very observant naturally a raging heterosexual male
shot-through-and-through-and-through with testossedterone a can of kerosene
and she was a lit match
she reminded him of a job he
held he coordinated security for college student-housing
he was required to sign corporate
paperwork
he signed Under Duressin fact
Under Duress writ larger than he signed his name
What are you doing his manager
asked
What are you doing this is horseshit A sustained glance What the hell is a sustained glance
You know what a sustained glance
is
I dont Whos the arbiter of that
It aint staring I know staring
Where did this come out ofWait Dont tell me
Lemme guess Maintenance So management
has a problem perhaps received a citation and rather than address it detail it to
an individual or individuals it gloms on the paint and whitewashes everyone
It
refuses to point an appropriate finger
Under Duress is legit
It aint getting any better than
that
I cant accept this
Youll have to I signed it as you asked If it seems Im prevaricating then no more than corporate Some bigwig can travel down here from Sacramento
and demonstrate for everyone a sustained glance
Now if everyone agrees his or her sustained glance is
sustained Id assume they also signed
the same paperwork they demand we sign and if our company assembled agrees that
they demonstrated a sustained glance
well then from the text we signed its grounds
for firing
If I were you Id shuffle it in
with everyone elses and let corporate catch it or notId bet not But then you can equivocate He did sign it
and if a bugs that far up their ass they can dispatch some underling to address
me
Legally I can sign anything Under
Duress if I legitimately feel under duress
And I do
she shook her head Always the
hard nose youre always the hard nose You
have to be the fly in the ointment
Thats tried and tired Be more
original
I havent time for originality
And you havent time to saySomebody
has to say Im disappointed more dont
she looked down cast her eyes on
his paperwork Last warning Ill submit it
he
didnt hear her
he turned and was already
out of her office
he was a sloppy can of kerosene
and she was a lit match
it wasnt her fault how she was
built she could try to hide it many women did
but she embraced her statuesque build
he was a fan
she skirted the edge of the
gathering and like metal drawn to a magnet she approached him
Hello she said
Hi How are you
Lost Apparently
Great I love the blind leading the blind Can you read braille
she laughed she didnt cover her
mouth
her stock vaulted in his
estimation
she wasnt helping matters
Youre not heading this up
I get that I get that often Im not
I
dare say Im like you a want-to-be-activist looking to be shoved in the right
direction by someone whos been around and can turn us in that direction utilise
our passion
You passionate
he
didnt cross his fingers
I am passionate I approached you because well er
because you seemed most impervious
Impervious
I cant read braille
You have other
attributesImpervious Ive been called a
lot of things in my life but never impervious
Take it as a compliment she smiled
Can I stand with you
Of course There are some things Im not impervious
to he smiled Apparently youre one
Thank you That makes me happy
they explored much happiness
together
