he interrupted the kid HEY YAMIND
Yaint the only one here
the kid was eleventwelve a shrill voice who couldnt seem to keep his
squeak to himself it was the second or
third time he heard the kid go off like a disaster siren usually he ignored him but today he was
having a coffee with an acquaintance and he wanted to hear every word she said
they met through a dating
app somehow he attracted her attention
by referring to her Dodger blue panties
What do you know?
They must be snug Yare a baseball fan
You’re not.
No way in hell yaknow that Football
So what can we possibly have in common?
Your Dodger blue panties
she conceded met him for a
coffee
Youll excuse me Ive heard him screech
before he likes the attention he manages
to get more attention than the junior high dollies around him
she looked
Hes just a little boy .
.
.
. Who cant keep his mouth shut or respect others seated around him You have kids
Yes. Girls.
Me too Wha a freakin blessing not in its religious sense
Not religious; you’re funny about
religion.
I donwanna offend wha yamay
believe
We haven’t talked about it.
If theres a second coffee we can
talk about it Then we can talk ourselves
blue about it sex an politickles an sex
she laugheddidnt cover her mouth he liked that
Politickles, I like that, it’s clever, is that yours?
It is
A lot of politics is unfortunately a joke I like kicking the door wide open so when its
discussed its not shaved thin but thick slabs to get our teeth . . .
the kid went off again OHTHAT’S TOO MUCH
. .
. .
KID SHADDUP he stood I asked nicely before Ya sound like a little girl an I don think
yawanna be known as a little girl So please
be quiet sit down or leave
the kid stood there with his mouth agape
he had nice white teeth wore blackrimmed glasses seemed mousey but meld well with the cluster of kids who all seemed anxious for attention
I don think ya sound like that at
home
the kid shut his mouth an sat
down
he returned his attention to her
One day hes
gonna open his mouth to shriek an crackle bellow instead a broken voice hell be embarrassed by his unfamiliar tenor Pubertys a
gamechanger
she laughed againstill didnt
cover her mouth
You’re an
interesting ma . .
. . Excuse
meyare gonna have to do better than that Interesting is ambivalent Im enjoying many of your qualities
Really? So what would you have me say?
Im fascinating Yare giving up baseball for football Im
delusional
Come Try on a delicious delusion with me
