afrobeat jam on books

What’s that? he was a huge black man standing behind him in the cashier line  What you reading?

he turned the book towards him Its called The Dawn of Everything

Subtext?

A New History of Humanity If you enjoy reading  truly humanitys history  its a must Writers are an anthropologist an an archaeologist

It’s a huge, a tome.

it tickled him he called it a tome It is Nearly sevenhunred pages without their notes an citations  Wha you reading

Reading, how do you know I read? Your book’s big and orange, kind of calls attention to itself.    

But you noticed 

                 In this line it is infrequent someone asks me about the book I have in handIm reading The cashiers an clerks do because I frequent this store

he nodded Fair. It’s called The Better Angels of Our Nature.

Ah Pinker Have you read him before

You’re familiar?

The Stuff of Thought Another is Blank Slate I own them Wha brought you to read Angels

Well, I suppose like all of us, we know what we know. I’ve decided recently that I need to know things I don’t, that’s why I picked it up.

he chuckled

              I tell my girls that the more I learn from my reading the less I know

the cashier interrupted to be paidcomplete the transaction not that they or their conversation was holding up the line

he stepped to collect his bag at the end of the counter an turning back to the man he said  Well I hope you enjoy Pinker the Angels an I must say  I dig your cap

the man pointed a big finger at it like a gun That’s home.

COMPTON

Be safe

You too man, you too.
