I just want to be sure.

Didnt I just say

he shifted around in his chair asif suddenly it wasnt sitting level on the deck  eyesdown 

not a good look

                looking at the top of someones head  he wore a baseball cap  always  the top button plug grommet irritated him for some reason since he was a boy  he didnt dig to find out why

he finally lifted his head upquit shifting

You just wanted to be sure

Yes.

Are you sure

Yes.

        You don’t need to do that.

Evidently I do   You didnt take me at my word

                                                    If I say it you can take me at my word

Sometimes you mess with me. 

                                   Why I was unsure.

When I yank your chain an yare not picking it up  I say so don I

Not always, not always.

No  Not always

                   However thats particularly when wha Ive said is so outrageous you ought to know better

Well sometimes . . I just don’t know . which is why I just want to be sure.

Was I outrageous

No. Not really.

Not even really

No.  Not even really.

Had you said think  had you said do you think I would have questioned you

I don’t say a lot of things you say. I wouldn't have said what you did.

Aahokay There is that

                           Then I should be ancillarymore precise shouldnt leave wiggle room for interpretation

Was there room to otherwise interpret  pubic hair ball

I’ve . . I’ve . just . never heard it said . . before.

  Fair

        But knowing my predilections predillick tions   Not outrageous

No.

We took the long way back to  I just want to be sure

      Yes.

Were good again

We’re good.

     deeep sighs  deepdeep sighs

                                     if he didnt quit sighing hed hyperventilate

she took his hand and squeezed it

                                     You must quit pantingyou’ll make yourself faint.

     Im sighing

Sounds like panting.

maybe he couldnt tell the difference he thought he was sighing

                                                                  didnt panting come with panic  he wasnt panicky 

whats done is done

he couldnt change anything

couldnt bring anyone back

deeep sighs

             breaths deeep enough to aid resuscitation

somewhere inside himself it was thinking  he needed it to stop   Please  Please he begged

it still thought it couldwas possible

Stop  Please

              he was on the verge of tears Please I beg you stop   Pleasestop

it wouldnt look up at him it kept its head down

                                                  its proud shoulders quaked  broke  shivered like a brokendetached butterfly wing  it movedcurlicued on young green grass by a melancholy breeze

Are you okay?

Okay  Compared to wha

                           Im in need of something anchoredweighed  In need of a tether

I’m sorry.

No You neednt be sorry I ought to be grateful

                                                 Denied Im greedy   My memory is like an impossibly long train that still has cars that havent departed the station the chain is elastic it stretches streetches  then leaves before its tensilestrength is snapped

How is that possible?

I don know Its exquisite

                            Exquisitely painful   I remember things I should have forgotten Im like a feral dog  wolf  on a scent   A shark Thinned blood in paleblue water

                                                       So I sigh though usually not this deeep But the older I am the many fibers are more assured an during this time of year come into confluence

                                                                                   Im aware Id be a fool to attempt to deny the reality  But even if I could let go Drop the reins   I would not

Then there’s nothing I can do to help.

he smiled

her eyes were big  they shone compassionately

No  Nothing

               I appreciate ya seem to get it

damn game shows kept crowding him 

TV audience crowed for more

they were really fond of TRUE or FALSE 

                                            although he didnt want to be the manicuredlacquered shiny host while asleep  dreaming   that portal was meant for him for sex for nonsense for deliberating forecasting  soothsayer saying

    JESUS! 

             Awright  awright awready   Another round

TRUE or FALSE

Is a trophy apostle called an apostrophe? 

                                              Awnawh  the studio audience fell quiet they were really ponderingworking out the answer

Yes Virginia there are nightmares
