. . . No no  no

But she’s just right for me.

he laughed

              Those are the lyrics

I know, I know.  he smilednodded   guy had a great sense of humour

But Christ Mark Youre not kiddin

I wouldn’t kid about that.

   No I suppose you woudnt

Come on man, you’ve met a couple of my girlfriends.

I thought they were girl friends

No. Girlfriends.  They were my girlfriends I introduced you to them as such.

Yadid Youll have to excuse me 

                                 Youre a goodlookin guy  I made an assumption youd pursue goodlookin women

No.  Goodlooking women know they are, and that’s an impediment.  You have to admit that my girlfriends, facially, were attractive.

Attractive yes  Save for the doublechin

                                         But attractive   Ill give you that

And they were sweetthey certainly liked you.

Thank you I enjoyed themthey were a lot of fun   Then they were gone

Yeah. My relationships don’t last longdon’t withstand the test of time.

Time

      Correct me if Im wrong  inside six wee . .

. . If that. 

           Like, I imagine, like all women, when they recognised they’re being used that cools their jets.

But nothing you said

No. Nothing I said. 

                     I treat them like queenslike . goddesses.  But the wheels come off.

   Ever fall in love

I don’t know if I have that in me.

                                       Asya know.

that was sobering

he knew

         Mark had been a runner  heroin  made good money

hurt himself

              his fiancée stepped up  ran for him

developed a taste

overdosed

   broke his heart
