what disposable income he had
he disposed of long ago 
                         delightfully  unforgettably    unregretfully

he wasnt waiting for his ship to come in

although a windfall wouldnt hurt

windfalls fluttered allround him fleshy threshers beating grain  scatterers feral weeds Johnny Appleseeds

the many believed it was their due

dues that had enriched them all their lives

he just wished theyd be more grateful  modest
less entitled
              often tempting him to played with the idea whaif  whaif   whaif it didnt come to themhad gone to another they were vehemently opposed
                                  exercising his black humour
Aah black humours only a kneeslapper if someones has a knee or is around to witness it
it inspired him 
                Did ya read the fine print

Who’s got time for that?

a kneeslapper being readied


What are you doing?

Im reading the fine printfinding what they buried out in the open

You’re ridiculous.

Nothing like slapping a ridiculousers knee or them stomping their foot
                                                                        echoes that resonate remarkably long  an faraway
physical harnesses of unspoken I told ya so
theyre less cruel
                  people respond better to a CRACK than an outloud insult
that can get you shot in the face
                                  even before one has a chance to say Hey, careful with that don’t point it at me.
never ever daring to sayto taunt in that hot moment Don’t point a gun at someone unless you intend to use it.

the wrong time to suddenly become an idea person


   if he had disposable income
                                  this time hed likely spend it on himself

along the lines of Fool mehe wasnt once shame on you  Fool me again  shame on me

   improbable situations demand improbable solutions

women crowded beneath him taking showers in a natatorium 
                                                                 he didnt know they existed priorNice  to be ignorant

he climbed into the pipes overhead before they arrivedbefore anyone arrived 
                                                                                 say Skylights
nobody looks up
                he may have been counting on that


as time passed he had a sneaking suspicion nothing sneakier or more stealthy   
                                                                                     he decided he better go with it  
if a woman looked upcaught him there wasnt an Oops!card he could possibly play
   but
         this was the preeminent catbird pussybird seat to sit in  and preen
however
            Wha to do wha to do     Wha to do

Wha to do


for the twentyfifththirtieth time he wanted to Howlcut loose with a wolfwhistle

    There  Thasit

solution

songbird
          he turned himself into a little olivegreenapricot bird and sang his heart out over their heads sang to the wet naked ladies who lookingup smiled laughed and encouraged him 
                                                                       little did they know

he knew he would see her tonight in his dreams
he would have made a gentlemans bet with himself if he was a betting man

   he met her in a daydream

wasnt usually where he met women
which made her evermore intriguing 
                                        So where did you meet? someone would ask   We met in a daydream
how does one respond to that
he had no idea
he only just met her


passingwalking in opposite directions he happened to catch her profile her left  immediatelyoverwhelmingly she reminded him of Selene  Luna  moon goddess  fleshed tawnyredhued ivory 
                                                                                  he held his glance longer than usual  unusual
undoubtedly feeling it she returned his glance 
her smile was quicker than his
beat him handsdown

she stepped aside out of the foot traffic brang a foot upleaned against a brick wall  their contrast was bedeviling

he weaved his way through oblivious walkerswalking somewhere in their heads perhaps in daydreams too   he hoped

turning her head as he approached she pouted disappointeddismayed hadnt quite seen a pout like it before but her eyes her eyes   the eyes dont lie 
                  SUDDENLY her right eye imploded
blood aqueous humor dribbled onto her cheek ran down it
she didnt cover the ruin with her hand
he wasnt repulsed
calmly looking at him she said  This is unfortunate.
                                                          the wound did not detract from her beauty

he handed her his handkerchief
taking itbringing it to her face It smells good  I thought only womens smelled good

Learned a few tricks helping my maw with laundry

she daubed her throat chin cheek 
                                     May I return it this evening

This evening he may have gulped  Yes of course

Then fine . . this evening.  she smiled bigger yet
                                                      and dematerialised

he was meeting his girlfriend for coffee at a café she enjoyed
                                                                 she was walking late not running 
it was early
shortly after Six
no sweat
           he had paper pen a couple of bookswas able to entertain himself  

however his peace entertainment was diminishedrepeatedly interrupted by two characters across the room two men
they werent oblivious

after haranguing for ten minuteshe noted by the clock on the wall he didnt wear a watch or have one that he aware of the time spoke of his irritation

hed give them a couple more minutes a little more rope to rein themselves in before he would

had his girlfriend been there hed have been in their faces    

listening to their braying he was convinced their conversation was performance art acting for the benefit of the sparse room

as he was upapproaching them one defiantly stated he was pro-choicethis neck of the woods was decidedly Rightwing his cohort mumbledhe only heard only because he was on them  I’m pro-choice too.

   Gentlemen an I use the term loosely 
                                          Its not your choice  Hers 
Aside from tha woud you be so kind as to tone it down  My girlfriend will be hereglanced to the entry door momentarily  an Id appreciate speaking with her without raising my voice for her to hear me

they eyeballed each othershifted in their chairs 
                                                 he believed at least they realised standing over them he had the upperhand first one up first one dropped an then simple math one on one whicheverone still had to getup out of their chair
he was raised in Chicago
didnt mind donnybrooks
liked these odds
early morning coffeeshop
not a late night bar
Hey Joe!

he didnt turn towards her Hey baby  Right there 


Youll excuse me gentlemen I really appreciate your cooperation  Thank you
