he hummed pearshaped boy to Billy
Joels Uptown Girl
he wondered if he could make the lyrics fit
why woudhe
because
thats the way the conversation went
free formed
frankly he listened
for the life of him he couldnt
remember exactly wha kicked off the reminiscence they were talking about grade schoolmaybe grade school as kid how you coudsee something
coming inevitable irresistible Natures Way* see other kids nature but were
too young to put things together
Moby riffed on
pearshaped boys he knew
You remember?
he didnt have memories of boys
except for the few he hung around with
I cant say I remember pearshaped boys from school Nah Excuse me
onemaybe Michael Micheal yeah was nothing athletic about him soft
Is tha whaya mean when you say pearshaped boys Like birthing hips on a chickbut to be sure that
didnt occur to me until high school Not
until I got a couple under me Remember
Debbie she said The softer the cushion
the better the pushin. Wha Ohcomon! Wha Never the softer the
cushion? Debbie I don know wha the hell
yare talkinbout Well, bouttime you did,
come with me*. HohoOHSHIT
she took his handshowed him the ropesGAWDDAMN she loved converting virgins
However man ya gotta remember I
grew upwas raised in Chicagothe Midwest Not
here where you were born an raised Howdoes that work
How does that work?
Yah Born an raised an yare still here
I like it here.
Like it here he mused as he said it Home
Yes, I suppose . . home.
Theres no place like home Dorothy
Sure. Why not?
Probably because I havent found that
place If I had to say it was the house I
grew up in but thas been razed
Might suppose
Im homeless Don get me wrongthis will do Followed my wife here this was home to
her She was most comfortable here
I can be comfort most anywhere except
Chicagolove visiting visiting family theyre all still there Love leaving better
I don’t know what that’s like.
Yacoudnt
But good for you Must be like churchgoers in the sense that they
derive peace comfort solace belonging while gathered
Im not a gatherer
Like my own company
But no matter You
were saying pearshaped boys
Oh. Yes. A
lot of them. I knew a lot of them in school, lots more in grade school than
middle or high.
Id be careful who you said that
to who you told
But I did. Why?
No judgment Seems an unusual admission
I remember school
girls rather than boysHell for that matter I scarcely notice guys now Unlike you and how yare always noticing guys running
You gotta go there?
Fact is you do
Wanna call me a liar
I wouldn’t . . . but I believe
that speaks to how observant I am . .
.
. Fuck you seeing guys run aint observant
You never notice.
I don They havent anything of interest to me

And
