BOH! variant of BOO!   he did not know that

pulse  legumes dried beans lentil peas   he did not know that either

                                                                        he knew there was more he didnt know

which made him wonder why so many act asif they know more than they do

                                                                                 BOH!

Nope cant frighten them sane or drive them away

he woke this morning at 05:59  hopefully smashing the streak of zerodigits that had run roughshod over him for nearly a week

         albeit only 7 minutes off 06:06

BOH occurred to him at 209PM he scribbled it down on a piece of paper folded in the back of the book he read as he walked he liked to capture odd curious things

he usually recorded time per the 24hr clock 1409hrs  but that day 209 appealed to him  Thursday 8Sep ‘22

an inner Mariachi shoved its way to the front of the crowd and shouted Does 209 this afternoon help you imagine

  Help

            Fair question Do you think a number can help one imagine

If theyre open to suggestionyes

Wha does 209 suggest to you

Me

You  Us 

         You askedhave at it

hisher herhis face went flat like a placid pond photographers cop hard-ons finding one because rockyshore brush autumn trees above them sky are perfectly inverted a slick mirrored image  water doesnt often stand still pose 

                                                                                                                      209

209  Afternoon 

                    Id say it was pretty damn near that time early 80s  a lithe attractive woman collapsed on the streetsidewalk before me  Coconut Grove  She was semiconscious moaning incoherent  I picked her upcarried her to Mercy

       Turns out her gall bladder ruptured she had thought it was a particularly painful menstruation

We dated briefly she thought I was her knight in shining armour

I made a few of her nights but I wasnt

                                         Not a billing I wanted to fit  

shehe heshe blanched thought he could hear them Of course hed have some shit like that to kick my area code in the puss

he saw them pale but didnt make anything of it 

                                                 was magnanimous  he rather that than otherwise  next time aroundnext life its possible he might find himself playing a part in the Mariachi
