things always come in threes all good things come in threes    Nah  things happen in threes

the three that occurred inside the market were better than the ones that happened after he leftholding a sixpak like a football in his arm and climbing into his buddys car

backing out the woman across the aisleup from them driving a black F150 backed out without looking 

                                                                                                           had he not yelled STOP at the top of his lungs she would have clobbered them broadside

the uncomfortable hesitancyaccusationadmission following a near-accident ensued 

                                                                                        which they alleviated by pulling forward into the space so she could back up furthur then cut her wheels left and leave

after getting a pass on that calamity leaving the parking lot two other drivers cut off their lane angled across it off the tailend of a parked car rather than making an appropriate lefthand turn as they neared the intersections 

                                                                                                              awkwardly the drivers veered right to make it around them and refused to make eye contact

What the fuck he muttered as he exhaled

You can say that again.

What the fuck

Thanks, you believe that? Nearly hit three times inside a minute inside the same damn parking lot.

Well they are private property an no one has to honour the rules of the road which otherwise would be ticketed on the street 

      An everyones in a big fuckin hurry

Unbelievable. 

they made their way to an exit out of hell

descending a ramp to the street he chuckled 

                                               Mymy things are coming at us in threes today  My three inside the market were better

You had three inside?

I did I would have said sooner but you were playing pinball wizard 

they took a right 

                 no sooner was he on the road he stroked his directionallooked left checked his sideview mirror worked his way over two lanes to get into a lefthand turn lane

while he maneuvered he didnt talk to him he knew he could only do one thing at a time

they stopped at the redlight

Thanks for not talking to me as I made my way across traffic.

No sweat ya cant do two things at once ya cant do two things at once

I can’t.

        Now you were saying about your three things.

Yes Im even more tickled considering the three weve suffered on top of them 

One 

     the guy directly ahead on me in linewe were fourth an fifth in line six feet apart he shouldnt have worn sandalsdont ask me why I looked he held a tall bouquet of sunflowersshould have cut his toenails before he came out Turns out hes an impulse buyer 

                                  He grabbed a bag of Doritos a bag of Cheetos from a display at the edge of checkout Moving forward above the magazine rack was a display of barkTHINS dark chocolate pretzels with sea salts He juggled the Doritos and Cheetos to his arm holding the bouquetcellophane creaking then with his left hand he clutched one two then a third bag of pretzels 

                                      I wanted to ask him if he had a match although I resisted hed have lost one or all the pretzelshe was barely hanging onto them  Finally he was able to place his items on the conveyer belt He walked up with one item an walks out with six To his obvious reliefvisibly they bagged the products for him to leave

That’s nuts.

I gotta agree I thought women were who made compulsive purchases  My apologises ladies 

That was the first?

Yes Im impressed Apparently good fright serves you well usually had I stopped there you wouldnt remember Id mentioned three things

the arrow went green

he made a left

once he completed the turn and they began down curvy Santa Ysabel he said If I wasn’t almost hit three times I probably wouldn’t have remembered; thank you for not talking as I turned.

Yabetcha

And?

Number two on the hit parade 

                                Because I noticed the guys toenails I had to look away My head came upI looked left down the aisle that runs before the cash registers  Waiting with a cart parallel with the aisle so not to obstruct it was a buxom attractive Mexican woman brown skin long curly jetblack hair all set off indubitably by her white facemask huge black eyes  she was gazingoff in her head somewhere while she waited an ofcourse she would because I was looking  she leaned over the cart handle to her purse that hung from the childs seat an leaning forward her blouse billowed open just for a couplethree seconds an Im looking down her blouse her breasts exposed My my Then she stood upright again oblivious to the peek she provided 

                                                         I ran her on Replay an watched her another fivesix times before Compulsive began juggling snacks

Jesus! How the hell does that happen for you?

Im observant an just less than half the population I donpay any attention to at all

Men. There is that. he nodded approvingly

There is 

Three 

       since Compulsives juggling obscured or I fogged Breasts replays I looked past her up the aisle an caught this woman a blonde floating like on water towards meyou familiar with that kind of gaitthat effortless propulsion walking is floating its freaking attractive ya don see it too often she was floating man middleaged  keeping it together though not my cup of tea she wore an emblazoned tshirt 

                                                       Wha it say

they approached a STOP four cars converged at once right-of-way seems they forgot

finally the gentleman across from them on Ysabel proceeded into the intersection tipping the stacked dominoes so he proceeded forward and after passing through the two women made lefts behind him

Wha it say 

             An before you answer recall that she was floating as she walked Thats a hint

A hint? what was on her tshirt?

Yes

Floating you say, a fluid gait.

Yes I donsee it very often

Floating . . 

              I have no idea. 

they were approaching another STOP

after crossing the intersection they continued

I’ve no idea, I can’t guess, maybe if I wasn’t driving.

No  Okay 

           Emblazoned across her chest gold cursive letters Goddess  Fuck if she didnt moving like a goddess too It was sensational

That’s crazy, absolutely crazy; I wish I had your threes rather than mine.

Thats understandable however I must say I wish when number two happened she would have been three

Three? Why would you say that?

Imagine shes the third  she leans forward her blouse opens shes Awa she has three breasts 

                                                                                                    Gotta tell ya Im running that in my eyes right now

You and your imagination; good thing I’m driv . .

. . Shaddup  I cant do two things at once
