things are not what they seem

theres film

            maybe haste dyslexia he grabbed it thinking Yes the little wooden boy  Pinocchio  it was Cioppino

a delightfullycoloured abstract absurdist yarn about a lively band of Dungeness crab clams shrimp scallops squid mussels an fish who in their glass tanks defied groping hands and scooping nets then turnedtables  served diners the chefs who prior had served them

squid read La Brigade de Cuisine

                                    their cioppino choppino were parts Chef de Cuisine Sous Chef Chef de Partie Saucier Boucher Poissonnier several Rotisseur Friturier Grillardin Garde Manger Pattisier Chef de Tournant Entremetier Potager Legumier an small bits kitchen porter

                                       he failed to say it was grisly

Cioppino was not Pinocchio

Snatch was not either

                        anperhaps neither was the beautiful young girl or boy who kissed him passionately  he would have to wait several years before returning to Chicago to invite them for a swim in Lake Michigan

that old song

              Yare nobody till somebody loves you

somehowsubliminally it worked its way in an had become the standard he hummedhe sang those words didnt know the others as he feeds his indoor and outdoor ferals

                                                  he didnt known he was until an overnight sipping her coffee as he fed them exclaimed how cute he was humming singing to his cats

You didn’t sing to me.  she said poutingexaggerating the humour in her voice

he laughed Wha ya didnt hear me whawere you doin up there

                                                                       Ill have to try harder next time 

Oh you she grabbed him by the hairthe back of the head You’re bad. she gave him a deep coffeeish kiss

when they broke their kiss he said I think Ill take my coffee with tongue from here on out Nice treat

laughing they kissed again

                             he slipped the mug from her hand set it down and carried her back to the bedroom

maybe shed hear him this time
