Gee babe, you look mighty deep in

she walked over to himbeside him
You look mighty deep in thought.
she touched his shoulderhe
sat up boltstraight asif shocked she steppedlunged back
Wha he asked wideeyed
she stepped awayher hand to her
mouth then laughed through it
I’m sorry she giggled into her hand I’m sorry . . I said . I said that you looked
mighty deep in thought.
Im
sorry I didnt hear you
That’s alright, I know that about
you, but whenever it happens you startle me.
Im sorry As Ive said a survival skill growing up
in a small house eleven when grandma came to live with us Wha a treasure
Whats
up
I’d ask you. I put the lasagna in
the oven. Through the doorway I have been watching you as you read. Then you laid the book in your lap and stared at
the wall.
Only looks like staring baby I donsee anything
Well, if I may, what were you
thinking?
Ofcourse Youre always welcome to my thoughts
Why shoud I suffer them alone
she knelt beside him put her
hands on his leg
I
don’t know suffer is accurate, though you’ve had some real beauts.
You’ve recoiled a few times he saw the expression on her face Youve gently recoiled Havent gone over on your ass your fine ass as
it be my applebottom grrl
she smilednodded Nice recovery.
Thank you
I was just thinking about
the recent billion dollar lottery winner Obscene Thinking it ought to be topped off atwha twohunredfifty million Its only inspiring greed fantasy I think of the kids coming up thinking not of
sure things not inspired to work perspiring working hard
rather playing to win the big one
What made you think of that?
I stopped on the way home to fill
the car Found myself waiting behind three
others two men an a significantly large woman They by
my estimate were unfortunate unhealthy They were buying lottery ticketsbuying beer cigarettes sugared drinks I say lottery tickets lots an lots an lots of lottery tickets
They troubled me
I was thinkinwonderin wha they must be thinkin whaif they won You have to play to win Have skin in the game
You think topping it off would
help?
I think you’d tick smiled a lot of people off.
Call it a course
correction
It helps provide funding for our educational
system.
Thaswha it was sold on across
America Barnum A suckers born every minute Wha do you
think of our education system I believe
it ought to be our primary infrastructure concern I believe it lacks terriblylacking despite the best efforts of many many underpaid
teachers
Our thoughts align.
Thought they might
I don know wha
topping it off would do although prior to lottery I believe our educationwhen we
were kids was superior to todays Kids were flunked When do you think the last time a kid was flunked
their selfesteem selffestering more important than their education
I don’t know.
It
incentivised the hell out of me
But I wasnt a good student School Was Hard
Youre smiling because it was a breeze
to you
I loved school!
Perhaps because you excelled
I can’t say. I don’t know
otherwise.
Ifya ever wanna know ask me
You want to know how smart I was
and am?
Ifya can legitimately say Im tickled to hear
she smiled hugely gorgeous dimples she brightened the whole room
he couldnt help but smile back as
big as he could
There.
There
Yes.
Im so smart, I fell in love
with you.
