Where’s my fone? he turned violently leftright cast his eye Where the fuck’s my fone?

uhoh all hell was going to break loose this man without his fone was like baby without his binky 
                                                                                                    Ya leave it in the car
I didn’t thin . . 
               his voice trailedhe was suddenlyup walking to his car in the parking lot

uhoh forgot his keys on the table he wasnt going to get in the middle of this 

threequarters way to his car he recognised he didnt have his keys
                                                                     he pivoted like a welltrained marching soldier his step quick


JesusChrist, I forgot my keys, why didn’t you say something?

One thing at a time
                     Haste makes waste dig 
he didnt hear himhed already pivoted sharply again good thing he was too old to serve

he picked up Anti-Intellectualism in American Life Hofstadter off the café table refusing to witness the seething and upset that he could feel from where he sat he always had a book around to help him exercise his patience letem take all the time he needs


 

YOU DON’T HAVE IT?YOU’RE NOT FUCKIN WITH ME ARE YOU?

he looked up calmly
                      Why would I do that  Juvenile tempted to slide into senilespikes high

You don’t like fones.

However I know where mine is

At home at home at home I know; lot of good it’s doing you there.


That was a stupid comment

I gotta goif you had your fone you could have called me; you want a lift home.

No thanks Go sooner you find your fone your sanity will return

I can’t believe this.

Go Drive safe
               Youll find it



apparently on the ride home someone calledhe heard it ring  it was in the trunk beside his gymbag that he took out of the car because it was a ripe from repeated basketball outings and he hadnt laundered his gear
                                                                                                   he had to park in the sun it was a hot day

he didnt turn around return to the coffee shop

he called his cellphone to let him know he found it
                                                     left a voicemail

he heard the message the next day

1904,  Monday,  15  11. 21
1218.  Day-between-Two-Ts,  17  11. 21
