he caught a glimpse of something
it glimpsed back averted its eyes morphed into something else and before
he could make out what that was it wander out of his view
it left him wondering what it was
at first
what it became
he thought to run after it but
his better halfthat half that was prone
to thoughtfulness pulled back on the reins
What would you be running after
How can you catch something if
you dont know what it is
he hated his logic but he had proved time and time again to be
unerring to be correct and after more baldfaced fiascos
than one might care to admit begrudgingly he tended to concede
he
actually performed better when he didnt have to think when he could leave his
better half mulling something over while he tended to immediate rawboned splitknuckled
business
it tickled him to hear him
ask What were you thinking
Thinkin Youre being rhetorical A ten cent word
Yaknow I know emright If I didnt ya wouldnt
Ya tryin to be a funny man
his better half looked out for
him whenever he could
he was grateful that he did
they were a good pair
for the most part
the older he grew
he grew patient
Patient he ask him Is patience not picking your ass up out of the dirt not icing your jaw
or holding a cold beefsteak to your eye
Dont knock it Builds character
Thats not an answer
Well then maybe yall have to look
up my ass and see if theres one lurkin there
Sometimes youre a child
Sometimes one of us has to be
an yall never be
