If you want it, take it.
If you don't want it, take it
anyways.
sound mature advise
they were two capable intelligent
men
one had a college degree and
taught in an extension high school for his entire career
the other dropped out of college
a quarter shy of a degree and was happy that he eluded a career the entirety of
the time that might otherwise be considered a career
he made money forty hours a week and refused to work overtime
as he explained “I’ll sell forty hours a week to make ends meet, but ain’t
no company can afford me the worth for my free time.”
he was prickish that way
he confounded more than several
employers
but they hired him because they
knew they got a bargain they knew theyd
get more out of him than they paid him for
“I got to make a living, but
beyond that, that’s mine. It’s non-negotiable.”
Take it
it was Spanish ricean abundance
of Spanish rice that she had served with her cheese and cheese and chicken enchiladas
he-eluding-a-career had brought a
bottle of Cazadores Reposado across the desert with his career brother-in-law to
consummate a deal he posed their mother-in-law he proposed that if he brought tequila that she would make her magic in
the kitchen and provide Mexican fare
she was a phenomenal cookran a
deli for fifteen years under her name when
she sold her business the community appreciated its loss
but she was his mother-in-law their
loss was his gain and he exercised it
whenever he couldfuck the ten hours of driving between her and him DONE
they were going to take it he was
taking the portion she set aside for him even if his brother-in-law decided not
to take his
her husbandshe remarried after
their father-in-law died was the voice-of-reason who intoned If you want it
take it If you dont want it take it anyways
the baritone emitted by this slender
elder man transfixed him
he couldnt believe that it was
really his voice
he thought Ray was pulling his
leg
but he never broke voice
never broke character
hed have to take Ray as-is believe him
it wasnt
that he was overtly suspicious paranoid
some might say if he overheard the some say paranoid hed correct them not that he believed as much but rather a friend said it so he couldnt
himself and repeated it Its not a matter
of being paranoid its not being paranoid
enough
rather he was numbers-guy he had to make things add-up
with numbers you were either
right or wrong
one-plus-one-never-equaled-three unless unless partners
were open to sharing
he had his share of tumbles
although he was never a partner
he was the third-wheel
how he met these women were
beyond him
he didnt cultivate their brief
relationships
they happened organically orgasmically delightfully
his daughters had their take
once they stumbled in
unannouncedhe gave them keys to his place
they wanted to surprise him
he surprised themSURPRISE!
their take actually made sense
he had three outdoor cats
five indoor cats
cats seemed to make their way to
him
his daughters called him The
Pussy Whisperer
they didnt see why pussy couldnt
transcend species
he had to admit they had a good
point
good points are organic
If you want
it take it If you dont want it take it
anyways
