things always come in threes all
good things come in threes Nah things happen in threes
the three that occurred inside
the market were better than the ones that happened after he leftholding a
sixpak like a football in his arm and climbing into his buddys car
backing out the woman across the
aisleup from them driving a black F150 backed out without looking
had he not yelled STOP at the top of his
lungs she would have clobbered them broadside
the uncomfortable
hesitancyaccusationadmission following a near-accident ensued
which they alleviated by pulling forward into the space so she could
back up furthur then cut her wheels left and leave
after getting a pass on that calamity
leaving the parking lot two other drivers cut off their lane angled across it
off the tailend of a parked car rather than making an appropriate lefthand turn
as they neared the intersections
awkwardly the drivers veered
right to make it around them and refused to make eye contact
What
the fuck he muttered as he exhaled
You can say that again.
What the fuck
Thanks, you believe that? Nearly
hit three times inside a minute inside the same damn parking lot.
Well they are private property an
no one has to honour the rules of the road which otherwise would be ticketed on
the street
An everyones in a big fuckin hurry
Unbelievable.
they made their way to an exit
out of hell
descending a ramp to the street
he chuckled
Mymy things are coming at us in threes today My three inside the market were better
You had three inside?
I did I would have said sooner but you were playing
pinball wizard
they took a right
no sooner was he on
the road he stroked his directionallooked left checked his sideview mirror
worked his way over two lanes to get into a lefthand turn lane
while he maneuvered he didnt talk
to him he knew he could only do one
thing at a time
they stopped at the redlight
Thanks for not talking to me as I
made my way across traffic.
No sweat ya cant do two things at
once ya cant do two things at once
I can’t.
Now you were saying about your
three things.
Yes Im even more tickled considering the three
weve suffered on top of them
One
the guy directly ahead on me in linewe
were fourth an fifth in line six feet apart he shouldnt have worn sandalsdont ask me
why I looked he held a tall bouquet of sunflowersshould have cut his toenails
before he came out Turns out hes an
impulse buyer
He grabbed a bag of Doritos a bag of
Cheetos from a display at the edge of checkout Moving forward above the magazine rack was a display of barkTHINS dark chocolate pretzels with
sea salts He juggled the Doritos and
Cheetos to his arm holding the bouquetcellophane creaking then with his left
hand he clutched one two then a third bag of pretzels
I wanted to ask him if he had a
match although I
resisted hed have lost one or all the pretzelshe was barely hanging onto
them Finally he was able to place his
items on the conveyer belt He walked up
with one item an walks out with six To
his obvious reliefvisibly they bagged
the products for him to leave
That’s nuts.
I gotta agree I thought women were who made compulsive
purchases My apologises ladies
That was the first?
Yes Im impressed Apparently good fright serves you well usually had I stopped there you wouldnt
remember Id mentioned three things
the arrow went green
he made a left
once he completed the turn and
they began down curvy Santa Ysabel he said If I wasn’t almost hit three times I probably wouldn’t have remembered;
thank you for not talking as I turned.
Yabetcha
And?
Number two on the hit parade
Because I noticed the
guys toenails I had to look away My head
came upI looked left down the aisle that runs before the cash registers Waiting with a cart parallel with the aisle
so not to obstruct it was a buxom attractive Mexican woman brown skin long curly jetblack hair all set
off indubitably by her white facemask huge
black eyes she was gazingoff in her head somewhere while she waited an ofcourse she would because I was
looking she leaned over the cart handle
to her purse that hung from the childs seat an leaning forward her blouse
billowed open just for a couplethree seconds an Im looking down her blouse her breasts
exposed My my Then she stood upright again oblivious to the
peek she provided
I ran her on Replay an watched her another fivesix times before Compulsive began juggling snacks
Jesus! How the hell does that
happen for you?
Im observant an just less than half the population I donpay any
attention to at all
Men. There is that. he nodded approvingly
There is
Three
since Compulsives juggling obscured
or I fogged Breasts replays I looked past her up the aisle an caught this woman
a blonde floating like on water towards meyou familiar with that kind of
gaitthat effortless propulsion walking
is floating its freaking attractive ya
don see it too often she was floating
man middleaged keeping it together though not my cup of tea she wore an emblazoned tshirt
Wha it say
they approached a STOP four cars converged at once right-of-way seems they forgot
finally the gentleman across from
them on Ysabel proceeded into the intersection tipping the stacked dominoes so he proceeded forward and after passing through
the two women made lefts behind him
Wha it say
An before you answer recall
that she was floating as she walked Thats a hint
A hint? what was on her tshirt?
Yes
Floating you say, a fluid gait.
Yes I donsee it very often
Floating . .
I have no idea.
they
were approaching another STOP
after crossing the intersection they continued
I’ve no idea, I can’t guess,
maybe if I wasn’t driving.
No Okay
Emblazoned across her chest gold cursive letters Goddess Fuck if she didnt moving like a goddess too It was sensational
That’s crazy, absolutely
crazy; I wish I had your threes rather than mine.
Thats understandable however I must say I wish when number two
happened she would have been three
Three? Why would you say that?
Imagine shes the third she leans forward her blouse opens shes Awa she has three breasts
Gotta tell ya Im running that in my eyes right now
You and your imagination; good
thing I’m driv . .
. . Shaddup I cant do two things
at once
