she was youngwe were all young once enjoyed youthful indiscretion might roll miles on it effortlessly or it could come to a screeching halt
                   it often depended upon ones cohorts who they went with who they trusted or if they went balls to the wall threw bones threw caution to the wind

he picked up an extra large hadnt had pizza awhile cold pizza for breakfast sounded delicious

Hmm he thought Hustler Risqué    Whawas she talkin about



when he arrived he pulled off to the side of her car so not to impede her when she left

she came out onto the porch with two bottles of beer in her hand to let him in and keep the cats inside
                                                                                                           Got the oven at twofifty we can keep the pizza warm while you freshen up

she smelled good not like the cigarette smoke from the tavern like he smelled
                                                                                   You showered
You said freshen up if I like; I had a halfhour.

So acceptable

The bones threw me, but they weren’t human.

Nah Whales

I thought. Lotsa books, art on the walls, records; I didn’t find your porn stash.

You didnt look hard enough  Maybe when were better friends

You’re not denying it?

Im a healthy American man whose parents tried their damnedest to taint with Catholicism I dig an treasure the female form

Hustler?

Im not following but lets hold that for conversation later after I freshenup Gimme five

he took a deep pull at his beer
                                The double IPAs okay
Yes. I like beers with a bite.


they took their pizza and beers out onto the porch café table two chairs they were liberal with the red pepper flakes and fresh parmesan he grated

she marveled Who keeps fresh parmesan on hand?

I make pasta every ten dayscouple of weeks I like it fresh grated


they helped themselves to seconds

the movie was slipping from their grasp

Take a raincheck for The Hustler Some other time

You don’t mind?

Nah  Im enjoying our conversation Its getting late

We could go inside and curl up on the sofa.

Yah Ill fire up some candles play some music 



she was a little high from the tavern the doubled beers suspended it nicely   

they sat she turned on her hip and put her legs across his lap  arranged her skirt modestly   

they kissed softly
                   some gentle caressing and petting he paid particular attention to the inside of her thighs just above her knees lightly stroked them with his fingers

she mentioned more than once she really liked the candlelight how it coloured the paintings on the wall  flickered on the bones 
           I feel like I’m in a museum. I dig it.

I dig you being here


Maybe you might care for three fingers

she seemed amused she blushed  Excuse me?

Three fingers

she giggled
             Three Fingers? Earlier it was Hustler . . now three fingers

he smiled wires seemed to be crossedpleasantly crossed he couldnt wait to get to the bottom of it
                                                                                                        Yah Three fingers
she giggle
           Three?

Doncha think

Don’t know; I’ve had two.

Then two

It wasn’t uncomfortable.


Uncomfortable
                 he stroked the inside of her thigh  a bit higher up

she was getting antsy shifting her bottom

when he kissed her he gripped her thigh tightly

she moaned under his mouth

it was getting hot in there

when they broke their kiss she gasped a bit

he firmly had her thigh

Okay. I’ll try. Three fingers. I’ll try. You’ll be gentle.

Yes

I know you will.

he squeeze her thigh firmly released it  got his arm under her legs and as he turned her a bit on her fanny so he could stand to get the three fingers for them she asked 
                                                    What, what are you doing? a hint of panic in her voice
Going for the drinks

Drinks?

The drinks
            Three fingers  Whisky


Oh.
     Never mind.



in the kitchen it dawned on him he laughedactually bellowed 

You laughing at me! she cried from the couch

Tend My Garden James Gang
                                 he was always a fan a little disappointed when Walsh joined The fuckin Eagles  they were not worthy

his CD shuffle-play goosed Goapele ran Tend My Garden up behind her an ran Ushers Yeah up their ass
                                                                                                               he would have cum had Nellys Hot in Here gone off  he didnt have it  wasnt on his machine
                                                                                       but that was an excuse hed make it playhe could make things that werent ante-up extend themselves suddenlymiraculously exist  he pitied people who werent accessible to the fantastic
                                            maybe they werent prone   maybe they didnt try hard enough
maybe they were cunts

he had a habit of not hanging with cunts
                                            not those kinds of cunts
the others he was all over like butter on toast bagels anything butter benefited an enjoyed its ooze



he needed something to tend to hold him together to care for  

the oldest of nine
                   it was entwined in his DNA like a junkie needing a fix

he had nine cats five In four Out  all born feral

he needed their feralness fearlessness
                                           they enforced out of where he came  

the dozendozen-in-a-half hummingbirds he fed werent enough

the fig his daughter shared with him wasnt enough it failed  he lost

the wisteria seeds she shared
                                 they failed
he needed to quit losing


the loses werent entirely on him

he had to be absent four days a week

he was helping care for his daughter


he tried hard not to let it occur to him that he would lose her too



bad year

she escaped too
