Airbnb

           his kids teased himcalled him lame  he called it r-b-n-b   Air makes no fuckin sense unless were renting a dirigible   Dirigible. Who says dirigible anymore?   Yajust heard it come out of my mouth   Jeez, Dad.

the kids gotta complicate his life

                                 he liked seedy motels  they liked glam they liked room service on-site salon restaurants wanted to treat themselves to pedicures manicuresdidnt cure a damn thing   Pretty. he wasnt a fan

the Airbnb was a compromise

he told them two months earlier he didnt want to be anywhere but in a bar at the bar this Sunday  Bears would be playing in the Championship game

they made the plans anyway

Say ole man

             not old man ole man  You want to catch the game you’re gonna have to get it on the screen.  that was cruel  they made it seem like an incentive  him making the machinethe shit work

he didnt own one 

                   the Airbnb had an enormous flat screen  a 22inch diagonal was plenty for him   That’s because you don’t entertain.   I throw barbecues  We sit outside under the stars and yap  Who the hell wants to be inside if they don have to be

they arrived on a Thursday

the flat screen remained dark and mute

                                          kids werent tipping their hand  he could figure it outhe wasnt a stupid man

No Im an uninterested man   Your interest will grow. they played board games

Friday mute

              they built a thousand-piece Van Gogh puzzle

Saturday

           they went out for nice dinner and took in a late movie The Little Things at an Art Deco cinema

Sunday his kids wouldnt know Frankie Laines Never Come Sunday  It’s on you, Dad. We’re off to pickup some donuts, make the coffee would you, please?

                                  they left him to his devises

Fuck

       theyd let him hang himself they werent Bears fans 

hed have to find the damn remotes first

thankgawd they didnt hide them on himthat would have sent him over the moon hed walk to some distant bar to catch the game he might still do that

how hard could it be  they could do it

but he was an eidget with technology

they had a hate – hate relationship

whenever he told someone that they corrected him  It’s a love -- hate relationship.       

No I hate it it hates me

his kids would know Brigitte Bardots Contact either 

he took a deep breath  and dove in

 

when they returned with a dozenplus sweet rolls something with nutspecans and donuts he had the coffee on the flat screen On

           on the 65inch was a scintillating image of a womans torsoshe was on her back  natural large breasts  glitter sparkled in light honeycoloured oil that rolled down off her throatswept across her naked body accentuated with psychedelic coloured lighting  strobe

                                       music was synched with the films ardor  she had a fantastic body  she began writhingturning on one hip then the other then slipped like an eel onto her bellyon her knees ass sashaying breasts compressedsqueezeddown then tasteful merge shots overlays of her from below the sides abovebeforebehind exquisitely edited  sexual art

                   sipping black coffee he burned his tongue

Jesus, Dad!  was the chorus

hes heard it said  If it wasnt for bad luck Id have no luck at all

he believed if it wasnt for dumb luck hed have no luck at all

he missed the opening kickoff
