dogs didnt unnerve himhe just didnt care for them 

                                                            I think we ought to cross the street 

she was talking either head down or looking at him she wasnt looking up the street as they walked

he was listening occasionally met her eyes they conversed but he kept his head on a swivel and because he was she didnt need to  he watched out as far as he possibly could there was nothing ought to be short term 

                                                                                                          and for that many thought he was a stick in the mudhustled things to probable outcomes if this then that then if this  that  this if that that then this 

               Can’t you just stay in the moment?                 

Which moment is that The present is already gone

he often frustrated herhe frustrated a lot of peopleChrist he frustrated himself  but thats the way he was wired water off a ducks back he could put it away but only after it pricked him

he interrupted herrepeated himself 

                                     I think we ought to cross the street he pointed up the street  Tha dog

she glanced up to see

she saw a man walking a huge dog 

                                       It’s unlike you to give way let alone go across the street. 

Awbabe yare nearsighted   Trust me on this

You really want . . . 

                   but he had taken her by the elbowlooked up and down the streetno trafficlead her into the grassy parkway off the curb onto the street 

                                        I do

she let herself be lead

                              on the other side of the street she didnt remember what she was talking about

The galleon the galleon you saw in the harbor he said reminding her 

                                                                          he was able to hook and hang conversations in his brainsee through sudden distractions  then return to them

Ohyes, of course, the galleon, I’d forgotten . . crazy how you remember.

Nah had I not interrupted you taken you off your game youdve had it  Also I was listening hence obliged 

                                                                                                               Can you see the dog better now

she looked they were closing 

                                 it was a really huge dog  something was queer

he saw the expression turn in her face confusionconfounded 

                                                                  Let me help you with that  Cerberus 

her head snapped backRECOGNITION

                                        Cerberus.  Isn’t that impossible?

A threeheaded dog 

Mans got him in harness

Keepin him on point

You agree it was wise to giving them a wide berth 

I didnt want to say 

                     Ohmy wha a handsome dog coud I pet him   I woudntve known which nose to offer my palm
