he caught the flying shadowfigured a scrubjay flash before him on the asphalt 

he didnt hear it alit  usually on the weathered plankfence or heard the tink tinktink tink of its nails on the Quonset carport storage behind him 

ROBERT he called 

                     it was day three he hadnt shown Robert was the most feral cat hed ever known but he decided on an offchance he showed hed place kibble on a saucer he left out for him

no sooner had he stoodgone up two steps to the porch where bigfoot and wee patiently waited their food he heard a scuttleflurry behind him 

the scrubjay that passed overhead

                                     it was at Roberts plate helping itself not waiting to be recognised he scattered kibble for scrubjays they all looked alike to him like whites to Asians whites to Blacks whites to Mexicans he couldnt distinguish if he was feeding one or two or twenty   figured word was out

smiling he muttered Sheesh-kabob a new fastbecoming favorite figure of speech limp raw sheeshes skewered like meats at a Mongolian barbecue 

                       Man tha wasnt five seconds some set of balls set of ovaries  I don know

made him laugh

he laughed too hardtoo loud the jay boundback a step then flew off to the fence over its left shoulder 

                                                                                                          made him wonder if birds were leftwinged or rightwinged 

HERE 

       before tending to bigfoot and wee he tossed a mittful of kibble onto the drive

it leapt from the fence to the blacktop between scattered feed eyeballed left then right left right another question begging then took wingsped back to Roberts plate which allowed maximum opportunity with least effort 

                                                                                                   efficient  birds aint dumb 

people are who think other earthlings are

It's what's under a woman's skirt that makes her who she is. 

                                                                  he didnt say it was repeating it

he wished he said it

                      his eye drifted over itsomewhere as he was reading wha mebbe on-line mebbe magazine newspaper his eye a snorkel to breathesurvive while his brain does its shimmering faceted thing 

                                                                                                      long ago he dropped its leash an let it run wild if he kept holding it back itd ruin his arms shoulders back   it was a big dog

he wondered what they meant

he knew what it meant to him 

                               getting up a skirt was much better than getting into a womans pants made him think sometimes he wished he wore a skirt 

playtime 

recess

Care for another drink 

put the ball in their court

No meant no 

no matter

lipsmacking 

   Whas in a mans pants makes him who he is 

                                                           he may have said tha
