improvisation
some lives are an
improvisationmade up on the fly sometimes made up
there
wasnt a plan
he improvised
he saw family and friends and
acquaintances who had plans which for the most part had been successful some wildly successful
he liked that they succeededhe
admired them
on occasionthough a person said that
they believed he begrudged them their successthat he was quietly jealous or
envious It’s understandable. Why wouldn’t you be? they
have so much more than you.
Aww then you dont know me
and with that admission he ended the
relationship
no company was better than bad
company
his daughters suggested he might
want to relax his rigid standards be
more flexible
Ah my loves easy for you to say You can do yoga
Yoga? What does yoga have to do
with anything?
As you know well my bodymy joints
havent the flexibility you exhibit That said my inflexibility is inborn It is innate It is my nature
Man, you can be so stubborn.
Yet again another aspect of my
nature Dont worry Ill be fine You know I can entertain myself
he always had that ability
he was social to an
extentpreferring his society in small doses
working as a clerk in a liquor
store provided him that his customers
knew what they wanted in ‘n out
propositions
he was the final hurtle
they had to clear
not that
they knew that
his regulars were a treat they were on first name basis
then he had irregular
regulars those who stopped so far apart
that he hadnt learned their names his
name was obvious he worn it pinned on
his apron yet while he didnt remember
their names he certainly recalled their
faces
she had been inmaybe a half dozen
times over the last two years always very pleasant always a nice surprise
their first interaction was
memorable because she wanted to buy a nice whiskey for her husbandshe wanted to
spend she said a memorable amount on it
he explained he was partial to
Irish whiskey what did her husband prefer
might it rather be a Scotch
she smiled a smile that perfectly
fit her face
she wasnt beautiful but she
certainly gave beauty a run for its money he recognised it was her overall
expressionspursing her lipsher dimplesbright engaging eyes all going off simultaneously like fireworks
when she laughed she didnt cover her mouth
he convinced her to buy a 21 year
old Redbreast What man can say no to a
21 year old breast he said with
a wink Youre welcome
to steal my line if yalike
she blushed beautifully maybe she was beautiful
since then they were fast
friends their smiles quickly greeting
each othereven before they could speak
he couldnt say for herhe assumed
she might but he terribly enjoyed their brief
conversations over the counter during her purchase
this evening she came in again
it was raining
she wore a bright red vinyl
raincoat midthigh it played well with her auburn hair and
complexion she wore it over a deep green
Vneck sweater black leggings black halfboots modest heels
raindrops clung to her hair
she was purchasing a bottle of red
wine I didnt ask for your help tonight
because you said you don’t prefer wine.
Youre rightexcellent memory among other things his eye running to her cleavage attributes tastes thats a very attractive pendant Ill guess you bought it for yourself
Stop she said placing her fingers
to her necklace You’ll make be blush.
But you wear it so well Your colouring becomes you
and she blushed
I did buy it for myself.
How did you know?
It seems how
shall I say declarative Although we dont know each other well I would
venture to guess only you could have given it to yourself It comes from a deep place
as he spoke she was looking at it
between her fingers It is. she looked up at him That’s very perceptive
of you.
Well Not really Its framed so very well
she blushed again
then he almost surprised
himself Have you ever had a naked
picture taken of you she
blushed deeper not that Im offeringNo Im not a
photographer But I do enjoy photography I would hope if you had that it is in black
and white
she looked down to her
pendant she still held it in her
fingers then she looked up at him I can’t believe I’m saying this; but yes.
Why?
Your pendant told me Perhaps you might consider sharing a favorite
with me
Maybe I might.
Id like that
For some reason, odd reason . . I
think I might like that too.
he didnt saw that conversation coming
spontaneity isnt planned
