they were introduced by a casual acquaintance 

he bumped into themhadnt gone there expecting to see anyone 

he went because the bar played pro football games on a big screen muted

                                                                              thats how he watched them at home could do without the gasbaggingthe commentary he knew what he saw      

after a pleasant hello a brief exchange he excused himself and made his way to the bar where he moved a stool aside and stood to watch the game 

                                The usual Billy his usual a double Irish Uinta Detour on tap 

a while later she came up on himtouched his shoulderwound around and stood with her back to the screen so he was able to avert his eyes catch the game

smart cookie  

team he rooted for was up a touchdown driving  inside field goal range 

he asked if he could buy her a drink   

Let me think.

he liked women who thought 

I see you’re wearing a ring.

he didnt follow her eyeshe was 

                                   I am

It’s okay you’re out?

he thought but didnt say what he thought 

                                                Im a big boy Why wouldnt I my wife doesnt mind

she tipped her head like a dog catching a dog whistle

                                                         She doesn’t mind? You have an arrangement . . an open marriage?

She doesnt mind 

                   he let her dig a hole  she could as easily have said no thank you 

but she was interested 

he was interesting

he ask if she wanted a drink  not fuck   

So you have an open marriageyou’re upfront about it? 

                                                           a spade full  then another  

She doesnt mind 

                    he wasnt helping

I don’t know if I want to have a drink with a married man.

Cheering for one over the other

Dior showed up at his door 

                           not his actual door rather a pestering online ad Johnny Depp playing guitarair guitar wasnt a Depp fan either apparently algorithms jimmyinglooking over his shoulder under his bed in his closet around the corner had their heads up their e-asses

                                   Ee-i-ee-i-oh

                                                          missed the memo

phoney shit need not apply hence scents colognes cosmetics fashion or influencers

barking up the wrong tree

this coon fooled em

could have been the mask 

                          maybe e-asses thought a cyberbandit broke in compromised him were trying to sell the bandito on Sauvage

              Dior stood a better chance plying him with Sausage  Nahnot really

so many bugged that marriage should only be between a man and a woman

It's more than four thousand years old. 

tried and true 

tried and true 

                  hmmm its originalprimary purpose was to bind think about that bondage bind a woman to a man “thus to guarantee that a man’s children were truly his biological heirs” and what of the children he conceives outside of marriage 

biology he wants to get his rocks off  marriage also provided that a woman became a mans property

put the shoe on the other foot

 

would a man submit to marriage if he became a womans propertyOH stop it some might scold Times have changed 

bottom-line

            marriage is a contract between two people antes upped when god is tossed into the mix nevertheless a contract 

 

he was sick and tired of politicians running on the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman
