it riled himgot under his skin when people talked casually about soulmates a given yaknow  Hey  got a TicTac 

he hadnt gotten past the first requirement 

                                           to have a soul 

cant have one without the other

if soul then whaif one does and their mate doesnt through no fault of their own   

or is the assumption everyone has a soul 

                                           what about the manipulations churchy folksMormons  who believe they can bandy about with souls proxy-baptism JesusChrist  a queer door swung wideopen

anif everyone has a soul then all living things have a soul 

                                                              but aint it like human beings to bestow something onto themselves yet deny others other earthlings 

You think a stone has a soul?

Possibly when it was malleable forming if one believes in souls then yes  however when regarding a cold stone like a cold dead body likely that soul has hastened away               

possibly to align with yet another improbable soul-thingy  reincarnation 

he was not convinced 

                          however he would admit this  if . . if  one of a pair of soulmates dies the survivors comfort is knowing they will be reunited if they can remember with their love again in the past or the future

 

he was fortunate to fall in love three times 

                                             although he could not say or did they ever agree to call themselves soulmates

Wow Man ohman he thought as he shook his head in disbelief hed seen some shit some oddirrational things  but comon using yellow adhesive tape rather than paintinglacing the breaks in the concrete sidewalk to identify them so the public wouldnt trip and fall on its face was ludicrous

                                                        the tape was peeling in disarray Have Tape No Paint a play on an old black and white television show Have Gun--Will Travel  

he was walking and reading he wouldnt have noticed although he wouldnt have tripped it was only because a teenager curtly hustling past him tripped on the crack it flagged step on a crack break your mothers back  always pickin on mom  a classic spastic stumblestumble down on his face  he wasnt agility enough to dig outregain his balance 

Damn probably hurt a-bug-up-his-ass’ pride had to be embarrassing

gathering himself off his face on a knee on his feet he turned on him Are you laughing at me?

Are you awright

Are you laughing at me?

I am not are you awright

You think that was funny?

Since yare awright actually   yah 

                                    Ya didnt see the flimsy yellow tape on the crack Yellow Caution

he hoped the red growing in the boys face was embarrassment the boy would be mistakin if it was anger

                                                                                                               he looked a bit like a cartoon thermometer before it burst under a smiling hot yellow sun

suddenly the boy turned on his heels and fled up the sidewalk away from him  an promptly stumbled on the next taped crack 

he didnt go down though 

                           he yelled after him YARE GETTING BETTER 

the boy ignored him 

he opened the book Joan Didions Let Me Tell You What I Mean to read as he began walking again

he had lotsa practise 

                      been doing it since he was a boy
