they didnt kill each other

when he left they were seeking hehoped contrition  divining it in their mighty little vacuum out of doors  

returning it seemed they breathed colourless ether that may have clung to the downwelling from the brightblue whitecloud dappled ether overhead

You two cool

Babette looked up We are, I apologised.

She apologised, said she was having a little fun at my expense.

Ya opened the door Moby

I did.  I did.

             You didn’t bring me a beer.

You didnt say when I asked as I went in

I didn’t hear what you said.

Take mine Ill get another Babette your vodka tonic need replenishing

Maybe a little ice.

Ill be right back

he returned with a fresh bottle of beer icecubes in a plastic cup 

                                                                   Im reading this scifi Walkaway by Doctorow The first chapter describes a party like a rave theyre sipping urine beer 

                                                                 he tapped the neck of his bottle to Mobys Prost  Zum Wohl

Huh?

Babette said Cheers. To your health.

Why would you know that, Joe?

Had family survived the war the camps they made their way to America I understand they overheard guards as they had their beer rations 

I know because my family is German.

Moby nodded to her wordslooked sideways at Joe You did say urine beer?

I did

Piss.

Please I hate that term Now  quickly turn it into an acronym and say wha it means

Probably isnt something safe. Babette said

Whoa

What?

I was thinking Perhaps is something sour

What?

It’s your turn, Moby. 

What?

Acronym Moby

               That was excellent Babette was barely off my lips

Yours was really quick too.

Thank you

           Moby Weve bought all the time we coud Whas the meaning of your acronym

I don’t know.

Slow on the uptake

Shaming me ain’t helping.

Isnt shaming

              Ya have to admit your norm isnt dabbling excelling in wit being clever

And you are?

We areweve already said 

                           But we grew up in the same neck of the woods not the West Coast I believe guile is a Midwest East property  being snappy   last to the table doesnt eat

Eat what?

He’s hopeless.

Not hopeless Hes just not a horse to bet on

You’re doing it again . . making me the butt of your jokes.

No butt The acronym is P I S S

                                   Whadaya got

No sweat its okay

Correct, you’re the misfortunate product of a lesser God, not your fault.

I wish I said that

I’m quicker than you.

          One last shot Moby   P I S S

Babette Im really beginning to think yare a mean stoner

She is.

Moby Don

                                         he could suppose her intention was torture
