he stuck his fingers in his hair
and shook the sides back at the naperan his fingers through his hair widowspeak back what he saw in the mirror looking back at him
suggested he use a brush
itd been years since hed brushed
his hair his girlfriend preferred it
short compromise concession although she was worth every haircut he
endured
endured was spot on
he
preferred to wear it longhad worn it long for years before they met
when they met her he realised he was
enduring Time had been bidding his
time he hadnt seen her comingwouldnt
have dared imagine her
despite his
copious imagination
opting for a brush his crew looking
in the mirror with him ooohd and aaahd Oh,
man, you're beginning to look like a caveman.
A caveman
You see what we see; ain't no
doubt.
Guys gals look again That aint a caveman looking back at us its a mountain man dig More intelligent than any knuckledragger Technically more capable
I can tolerate the technology he mastered Wheels come off the ride an Id be confident
because there aint a damn thing brute about us any longer
Weve been feminised
several cohorts shouldered in
beside him snarling they took exception
to being called feminised
he saw it in their expressions
Seems Ive hurt some feelingshuh more thinskinned than I thought butt hurt Then do yourselves a favour an step out of the bathroom
jaws jutted
eyes narrowed
Hey rather than posing outraged Go
Yare of me Im not of you It wouldnt be a fair fight no matter the odds
Go
thank gawd they were sensible hed hate brawling in a confined space
Split the difference Caveman mountain man they werent far apart apex predators Though my mountain man with a 50 caliber
Hawkins could kill accurately at sixtyseventy yards
technology
a caveman didnt have that
hed have been happy if technology
pulled up on the reins and stopped right there
