Say It Aint So Joe was playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI3Zi056PuM
on the stereo as his sister busied herself in a corner of the room
he couldnt see what she was tidying
up
she was notorious for keeping clean cleaner
Lu he
barked at her back
she was in a safe place so she didnt
startle not that that was his intent
he sat down on the sofa across from
her
Lu Stop your putzing aroundyour
spitshine on something thats embarrassed by its cleanliness and keens for dust
or dirt so not to have to recognise its naked soul
she scooted back on her kneesher
haunches pushed her elbows back towards
each otherarched her back if he wasnt her
brother he might have wished he was clandestinely hidden in the corner to
admire her stretch and how her large breasts pressed an reconfigured her blouse
A bit of a pain
in the ass, aren’t you, brother?
No Why don you busy your ass over to the couch and
sit with me and listen to the song I didnt know you knew it
I don’t. The record was on the
turntable, somebody didn’t put it away when they were done listening to it . .
.
. They may have gotten lucky
You’re the only one I know who
repeatedly gets lucky . . so I thought why not give it a listen. Actually this
is its second time through.
she sat down beside him
he put his arm up around her
she leaned her head onto his shoulder
So you donknow the song
No. I don’t. I do like it however; your name is in
it.
they cuddled together and
listened
