OhShit Maw
odd waycourse
to be reminded of her
a girl he remembered
affectionately Eva Lee he laid her or she laid him on a Crandon
beach then they went back to her place
to shower off the sand and fuck again
Eva
Lee reminded him
a strange place for his Maw to
enter her jumping in like jumping off a building as people below taunted
his Maw had to collect him from
her place Ill take ya to breakfast No, you come home now. Id have to walk a couple hours I’ll come get you. Ohnoyawont Ill call ya tomorrow Joe. she took that tone he hadnt taken that tone from her in some
time and she knew it Tomorrow
Maw
she was none too happy him
earlier he told her she could go
without him
the ride from Miami to Chicago might be
laborious or tedious by herself she
might not wanted to drive all alone
I

when she pulled up to the
apartmentthe address she honked the horn
he stuck his head outside the front
door and called to her Dondo that Maw its
rude

Park the car Donbe rude come in and say hello an goodbye
he let the screen door close and walked back into the livingroom
You should just go.

he took her by the chinher
beautiful cleftchin Shaddup and kissed
her warmly and deeply
releasing her he looked into her big bedroom hazel eyes
People will treat you the way

Eva swallowed audibly
But mothers . .
.
. Mothers nothing They walk on their
hind legs on the ground as we do they don walk on thin air even if they think they do Mutual respect anif they wont respect you theres no reason
to offer it in return
Christ
Excuse me
he turned from Eva and crossed
the livingroom to the front door again
his mother was halfway up the
walk
she was dawdling
Step on it Yare acting like a butt-hurt child
Joe, for Christssakes. Eva said behind him
he turned to her Yawanme to come over there an paddle yer ass he pointed with his thumb over his
shoulder At the rate shes movin I could really

he heard his mother at the screen
door

but cut her offhe opened the door talking over whatever the hell it was she was
saying Come in Maw Theres someone Ive wanted you to meet for

Eva Lee had crossed to the threshold
standing angled off his shoulder behind him
