together she was always at his elbow  together they formedup poured a concrete drive which led up from the established cul-de-sac

theirs was one lot among many divviedup by an unknown surveyor ordered by some unknown corporate lord crappy wood stakes flying coloured ribbons yards of broken earth starkwhite chalk scrabble rock refuse brokenbrown weeds

almost funny they could see something beyond that

they built it

no one came

maybe no one noOne died en route

or noOne could pass credit banks refused to foot the risk thats ridiculous unbankish

or noOnes wife refused to go out and work 

or she refused the bankers advances

                                       Come on, baby, work with the man . . we get a house.

A house. You want me to hook and whore for a house?

If I could I would . . for us.

If you could you would?tellya wha . . head down to the gay bar and work the business end of a gloryhole. You’d be able to afford gargle anafter chow cum of some dumb dim sum. 

                                                              I can’t believe you’d suggest I . I . . I should accept a banker’s advances .  . who . who . she was getting beside herself . who are you . . . 

                                                                                     he thought of two of her  doppelgangers  they'd be formidable, could split the work. Would you shaddup! like she could hear him think You’re welcome to chow sum dumb dim sum, asshole.
