Awright  Got your discount cardyour gift card  Balance dueI love it six dollars and sixtysix cents . .
. . Oh hell no

Hellno

No   Here  she snatched a Ghirardelli chocolate square from out of glass bowl dedicated for impulse buyers and slid it across the counter to him which queerly reminded him of the wrist-action of a priest swaying an incensorhe always wondered what was smoking inside those intricately-worked chain-hung orbs

Really

Here  she grabbed a second chocolate and slid it perfectly beside the first  Bust up that six-sixtysix

I dont think chocolates cut it baby its out into the world

No

Yes

No  she fixed him with her steely gray eyes   No

Oh the crooked voodoo you do aint gonna do it  Like Pandora cracking the box  Its out  You cant take it back You cant take it back with chocolates

Keep it up and I wont make the purchase

You can do that but you want the purchase  I watched the relish its accompanying flourish  You got a nice scotch a nice zinfandel  Screw the number  Break out  You said the bottles were for your birthday  I think the power of birthdays and their celebration crucify nonsense  Six-sixtysix is nonsense

Really Crucify  Youre not a churchgoer

I was a churchgoer then a done-with-churcher  In another country its voodoo the Koran the Talmud  Worship  Faith
I invest my faith in myself without ritual homily   I may be lucky

You dont fear hell

Lennon  No hell below us above us only sky  Thats the gambit  Im content  No grappling for my soul  Its all mine

I dont know if I can do this

audaciously he reached out and took her hand  Its only a number baby only a number  Besides  Ill tell you what
We nix the chocolateno matter how delicious we know it is You anteup and Ill destroy the evidencethe receipt
No harm no foul
Just between you an me and I aint a rat

Should I

You should

I dont know

I knowI aint no walkin talkin pillar of salt

Youll lose the evidence

Ill eat it if you want

I dont think thats necessary

I dont either  Im just offering ha absolution

Youre very convincing

An whos to know  Its between you and me

Aw  Why not

Right  Frost   Two roads diverged in a wood  and I 
I took the one less traveled by 
And that has made all the difference

Youre a cashier

Ssh
    Im a person a woanderer like you

Woanderer 

Wonderer Wanderer
