he always ended up paying for them

their long receipts tethering them to himproviding them avenue to his consciousness where during any brief pause in his dayBAM theyd be there bees busy at pollen  army ants swarming at forage or prey 

There you are, buddy; would you believe we were looking for you?

Been right herebeen busy Ya can keep movin Im not interested in your attention just now its unnecessary 

                                                                                                                but then hed hear a crude laugh a knee slapped foot stomped a high fart  Ahright, we weren’t really lookin’ for you, we knew exactly where you’d be. 

they found him slathered him 

a real hoot

            he was employed in a uniform to arrange cars for arriving dignitaries  airport to hotel  ThankGawd went off in his head  ballrooms for the scheduled events were at the hotel  but due to Trump virus reality bleeds in dreamworld only one car rental that could provide highend vehicles remained unshuttered  Uber Lyft Zipcar were deemed undesirable transportation  chauffeurs were require

had to love what dreams tried forcing down his throat 

                                                         although with little effort he could change themgo lucid on them but when the virus Uber stuffy dignitaries leaked in  well he was tempted to see where things went

he convened four teamsheaded up one they were to maintain a vigilant effortremain as-agile-as-possible to contend with their tenuous circumstances often they were forced to entertain dignitaries at the airport while negotiatingstretching transportation 

                the dignitaries were too polite to question their delay he had counted on that  

during a respitegetting a bite to eat building sandwiches from coldcut trays accompanying sides and salads off the top the rental managers wood desk someone under their breath uttered Man, this is heinous.

someone misunderstood them What? What?  Anus? then laughed wholeheartedly at their ridiculous question what could anus possibly have to do with anything

Asshole? someone ventured

Thats enough gang he said

Anus? the car manager askedconfused What’s that? 

                                                       to have not heard anus and running a car rental operationno less from out of the mouth of a man he deemed a straight shooter delighted him 

                                                                               how could he resist 

as a matteroffact he sallied forth not knowing if this was his dreams gambit or if inadvertently he had taken hold of the reins 

      usually it was more pronouncedevident  Anus

Yes, anus, I have to confess I’m unfamiliar with the word; my mother and father ran a tight ship, we’re religious.

Religious he smiled gleefully one by one at his gathered cohorts 

                                                                    Religion shouldnt curb ones knowledge Anus is a practical practicable termhe smiled despite himself An anatomical term If you have one you ought to know you do

the manager shrugged unperturbed

Have you not seen or heard of the old black and white television show Anus and Andy  to his dismay it went over everyones head 

                   No huh

Howbout music Lesley Gores Its My Anus 

                                             his dream ended abruptlyhis frenzied swell of laughter pushed him out its crescendo finding him thrashing his bed with his arms his fistswaking to his howling 

quite a way to begin the morning

he really hoped he wasnt lucid dreaming

Paris -- 2 part

 

So tell me a story.

What kind of story

Intrigue. Sex. Maybe mayhem, the threat of mayhem; threats are delicious, will he, won’t he, will she, won’t she.

Elaine

Sun ray, Greek origin.

I didnt know that

Tell me something I don’t know.

Elaine 

       She was engaged to be marriednot a year out of high school A yearcouple years younger than me Id seen her around she was a looker

Blonde like me, I think.

No ones like you Yes  Blonde

Ran into her at a bowling alley her fiancé was there Those days we bet on bowling She was hanging all over him I can see his facecant remember his name now We played softball a mens league A big deal in the Midwest Some retired Major League players played in the league It wasnt for fun  It was money 

Her fiancé wanted to know what I wanted to roll a gameplay for money Elaine was making eyes at me She wasexcuse me a piece

He said a hundred dollarshe could have said two hundredthree He was a jewelerworked for his old man He was moneyed as a teenager She was attracted to money a nice piece on his arm An attractive coupletruly  though venial

I said twohunred

He wanted to see money upfront

Ya know me Im good for it 

                             Yawanna show your money

Jokingly he took Elaine by the armpushed her forward pushed her hard enoughunexpected she stumbled a bit I caught her by the ribcageshe jiggled

It was a close game I expected it to be he didnt  Lost his lead in the ninthlost in the tenth frame

I walked up to Elaine put my arm around her squeezed her firmly bunched her tits  she was too fetching

                                                                                                              Mighty sportin of ya Ive wondered what it would be like to make out with Elaine

Up for that Elaine ya worth two hunred dollars

She delivered a lecherous smile I am. Warmed the cockles of my heartdid wonders for my cock too 

                                                                                                        Which to my surprise she noticed

Of course she’d notice.

To my surprise youd notice

I would.

Ill keep that in mind

I’ll hear you.

Before we go furthur with that 

                                Lets finish this

Then well return to that 

I hadnt realised  there was a bar behind us  Id given Elaine some money to wet our whistles Id join her  at the bar were several guys who were friends of his

I was fuckin with himplayin out the ridiculous skein

He threatens mehe sets his eyes to the bar over my shoulder I could hear bar stools squeal on the wood floorpushed rather than picked up set down Who the fuck do you think you are? I'll kick your ass if you think youre walking out of here with Elaine.

You put her up you not a man of your word

I said two hundred dollars

Oh man shes easily worth two hunredI cant wait But in the meantime were having a drink a little foreplay  Youll excuse me

I turned within fourfive steps I walked through his knot of friends it was a rude pass

Elaine was oblivious of whawas transpiring 

                                               I had been jokingbut when he brought his buddies in on it I got serious  Anshe smelled awfully good I hadnt ever been that close to her

Your boyfriend lost  

My fiancé. she corrected me

Your fiancé lostlost his bet He bet you

Me?

You Instead of two hunred 

                              I asked ya if you were worth two hunred

That’s a bargain, a basement bargain. 

                                         She was peevedlooked up the alley at the congress standing at the mouth of the bowling lane

Lets drink to a bargain betcha I can make you feel you were in the penthouse

                                                                                  Had to flirt we sipped whiskysipped beer

The bartenderthe owner caught the drift he kept a couple of pins behind the bar 

                                                                                    There a problem? he asked 

I don think so

Aw, don’t have to think, there’s a problem coming up behind you.

Cant have that 

                 I turned an stood

One of the muttsI knew these guys one said You’re not leaving here with her.

Why you talking to me You her fiancé 

We’re talking for him.

Such mooks 

             Over my shoulder I said Bobby a pin please an reached back with my right Bobby pressed a cold wood pin into my hand 

Odds went upsoared in my favour They had numbers but they also had to reckon if they were the one that was going to get hurt 

         Knew Id be hurtso no matter Powerful leverage

They mulled a bit

I also knew I had Bobby on my side

They mulled then back off

When they went backup the aisle to lover boy I reached back blind and Bobby slipped the pin out of my hand

I turned back to Elaine our drinks Thanked Bobby Bought him a drink 

                                                                            Not necessary. he said

Necessity is the mother of pins Thank you  Please Bobby

Awright, if you're buyin I’m having a double, an not the cheap stuff.

If thats the case pour one for Elaine and me too please

Please, please. Elaine, this guy is so fuckin polite; what a silver tongue.

Elaine looked at me as if to ask if I had a silver tongue 

                                                          I cut her off Mine feels like mink

The clique hung out

Finishing our drinks I settled up with Bobby Elaine said she was going downstairs to her carshe drove a classic ’68 Olds babyblue Toronado sweet fuckin ride she said she was across the train tracks in the parking lot

I dug it she arrived separate from lover boy 

I guess he saw her leavethought the gambit was over 

Maybe he didnt think I could heat Elaine up or thought maybe I had I did

                                                                              He walked up beside me asked if he could buy me a drinkbuy me a drink end the confusion

No confusion I told him

Elaine’s gone.

Shes waiting for me

You think you're gonna fuck my girlfriend?

Girlfriend Girlfriend Yamean fuck your fiancée 

                                                  Im thinkin about it

Guys eyes begin tearing up 

                              Let me buy you a drink, talk about this. He choked

I don want a drink I donwanna drink with youya got your buddies buy them drinks  Way I see it you owe themsaved a couplethree of them from serious injury Im not drinking with you Im up an out of here

He grabbed me by the shirt as I turned towards himturned in between the stools 

                                                                                     He whines Shit waterworks commenceroll down onto his cheek I mean cinema quality tears on his cheeks Please, he said please don’t fuck my fiancée.

Gotta go man happy you were able to grasp the keen distinction between your girlfriend and your fiancée

I turned an left the bowling alley

 

What happened?

Ah the intrigue

                 Youll have to read my mind Paris

 

 

Paris fit well inside our small town 

                                     it really liked her presenceher aplomb Hell Sammy liked her  she was one of its daughtersborn and raised there Paris circulated its air gave it atmosphere 

                                                                               he dug her light
