                                       Excuse me Lance bout jumped out of his skin might teach him not to stand with his back to the door

Knee Deep Hop-Deranged

Ooh shiit.

                                                           false equivalence  

domestic violence is husbands is wives is boyfriends is girlfriends beating their partner

White Supremacy is White Terrorism

So did that freak psychologist slash social worker in Illinois you worked for remote ever follow through on her threat

No. she smiled bigwonderfully  But maybe she likes her revenge served cold.

hadnt expected that he erupted into laughter she joined him

                                                                 Ahbaby ya crack me up

I crack me up too.

nearhysteria ensued

 

wiping tears from her eyes She was a real piece of work. I’m grateful you didn’t have to contend with her, I can only imagine how you would have gone off on her; that would have been some real fireworks.

I don think she listened to herself according to what you told me

I hope I represented her correctly.

Don hopeKnow She trusted you to intercede interact with her patients an clients on her behalf

                                                                                                    You listen You hear

You wouldnt relate anything to me you doubted An unlike her you held confidentialities that she didnt hesitate to mock Sounded like she was exhausted with the field with people ought to move along except the moneys too good which you collected for her

she nodded Thank you.

Please Don Yare honest I cant say as much for her

 

the freak from Illinois had ordered a wellness check on her 

she lived in Oregon

sheriffs showed up questioned her went through her bungalow  finding zippo they left

they frightened her

he talked with an acquaintance who was a psychiatrist superior to a psychologist slash social worker 

she informed him any professional out of state can request a wellness check

                                                                                Heck, if you could established that you knew a person well and were fearful for them for something they said or running radio silent for some time when normally you were speaking, engaged, as a private citizen you could request a welfare check.

he didnt know that

      Now

              he wished he had 

as part of police investigation they contacted everybody she had in her iPhone

Yare angry with me

Yah think.

Upsetting me? I believe if I interrogated you you’d be upset with me.

Interrogate  Im not

If you’re not I can’t imagine what it must feel like if you were.

                                                                  I feel . interrogated.

he noddedacknowledged her feeling 

                                            Okay How can we alleviate how yare feeling

You can quit.

she continued to glare at him he loved her eyes but not when they were hard

                                                                             Yes. Quit.

I cant

You won’t.

No I cant

           You know me well ya also know I stick to my guns yahave said you admire that about me You may admire that about me when talking with somebody else notsomuch when were talking

                                                                                    You know I cant  This isnt about wont

You can stop.

Stop being who I am

                        I wouldnt ask that of you You also know that  How do we get answers if we do not ask questions  Ask questions babe Im only asking to help me clarify so I can better understand your predicament  It is possible one question may prompt a realisation for you shake things up

she sighed Be true to thyself.

a friend was showing off his new jetblack Ray-Ban

                                                     he dropped more cashmore hours than hed ever care to work to look cool 

price points

gotta have em 

                he drove a wickedhard bargain with himself always placed his toil against what he thought he might purchase

           Kinda pricey arent they

rolled his eyes 

              Yeah, but brother, that’s what creditcards are made for.

Creditcards Made for

Put it on credit; pay it over time.

Hows tha workin out for ya

                                Banks get low prime from the Fed then turn around an bugger yapile on interest like theyre really doin ya a favour helpin ya satisfy your want

Come on, everybody’s got wants, human nature.

Indubitably But can they afford them or are they perpetually in debt Id argue need exceeds want  meet your needs don let banks screw ya

                            Ya got more than three cards

I think everyone has more than three cards.

I have three

             Don carry them

What do you mean you don’t carry them. What if you run into some trouble?

Trouble

Well not exactly trouble; what if you needed them?

I don need them

So you'd walk past a bargain?

A bargain sounds like something I wouldnt need

                                                      Got to admit its sound reasoning

Sounds like too much reason.

Helps keep my feet on the groundgrounded

I think you’re denying yourself.

Even though I dumped it when I was young Catholicism taught me that

                                                                           Waste not want not Whas your proverb

You mean idiom?

No proverb idiot

You trying to hurt my feelings?

No I think you hurt yourself in ways I cant imagine

                                                       Nevertheless the glasses are beautifullook great on you  Very chic

You mean it?

Know me to say something I don mean

No.

What the hell’s thatwhat do you have there?

Wha he held up Samsonite luggage in his hand  These   

These?Those. They’re antiques.

Vintage in a wordyes but no matter how old they work They are functional Unlike some things some people

Always so aggressive

                      I wouldnt be caught dead with them.

Thas strong

             Why

Come on man, no styl . .

. . Style Its luggage  When did you cross over into fashion

                                                               Its a box with a handle to carry clothes  Function

You’ll stick out like a sore thumb at the airport.

An I should care why

I know, I know you don’t care, hell, you even carry your luggage.

Ifya cant carry it ya got too much Yaint movin in

People like their choicesI like my choices when I’m away from home, on a trip.

Anya roll like the rest right

Roll?

Roll your overlysized luggage to your car to the airport around the concourse Roll

Yes. Why wouldn’t I?

Not to knock women  if one was a woman  your little wheels go round an round round an round your little wheels are feminising you

                If I had my druthers Id smash all the little wheels scatter ballbearings across the linoleum  suddenly everyones carrying their luggage theyll think twice about wha they pack

Feminising me?   Really?

Yaint the man ya once was Id think youd prefer to remain him as long as possible

You’re nuts.

             Wheels are here to stay . .

. . For those who choose them

                              he started humming I Feel Pretty from West Side Story emphasising I feel pretty and witty and gay when he reached it

                                                                 one semielastic end was tied off to an attractive sculpted leg of a stout hardwood tabletied to the slender ankle above its splayed foot

he was compelled at risk of violencethe riskthreat not physically present to get down on all fourscompelled to crawl and loop or tie off the cord at approximate intervals that best he could discern

                                                                       he was not to reverse  always forward alwaysalways forward

somehowfor some reason he knewsome way he was suited to this task

                               despite broken as it was light filtered in sometimes thin rays swirling wisps sometimes bathingwarming him he could not tell if it was sunlight or unnatural

                                                                        when he paused  to straighten a legbrush his hands free of crumbledebris FORWARD like spurs or a whip to an animal

Best we are

              Ill let you clear the air so I don make a mistake

Touchy . .

Alright, alright he swallowed loudly simple explanation he didnt care for how he kept clenching and unclenching his fist a simple explanat . .

his creeping suspicion water it only when the soil is dry was that the harrowingharanguing was about an unspoken need to use dialogue to createinform the characters physicality mannerisms he threw out a few hints

                                                                                                  readers read in their voices writing dictates with superficial descriptors the reader creates characters in their minds
