she says  Shhh

my little Oriental girl says Shhh placespresses her fingers to my lips

                                                                                Whaelse did I expect

Coudave flipped that scene on its headhad My Way

You can do tha

I can

      But thawoud mean having to make a commitment     I wasnt in the mood

You were dreaming

Dreaming Think flippin a script is easyturnin camera obscura isnt breakin a sweat

                                                                                         Its work

Didnt work out for the three jamokes preceding heryoud think they coud smell the water was cold see it was turbid with matter mud sluggish mean

                             It wasnt inviting

Yet in sequence they hustled down the inclinenot pausing to strip and went in first footfall terrafirma just under the surface then  cutbank   fellaway chestdeep

                                                 I sucked in my breath with em breaths robbed of their voicewhose only exhibitHOWL showed on their faces

One after the other after the other

                                     Maroons

Disregarded me when I tried to STOPem heelem

Pawns in my dream

Didnt flip the scriptdidnt feel bad

                                     I helped them out of the water  Bank kept crumbling  I didnt say shoudave listened

They earned their misery

No one else to blame

                        Still  I felt bad

Whaof China girl

Oriental I coudnt affix Chinese

She crossed over the bridge to the same place where the three met you

She did

She wasnt inclined to go to the water

She was notwasnt the least bit interested

                                             She had texts in her hand she wanted to study

We went back over the bridge into town I asked her if she wanted to go to a café according to script she wanted to go to my place according to script she woud have studied not according to my script but I reconsidered

                                                                                                   I didnt want the commitment

She was beautiful

She was Is

              Still off somewhere in my psyche Maybe shell present in a different circumstance where commanding my commitment isnt her intention

  You coud make her

I coud

             You did your damnedest took itsybitsy peeks when you coud  Obsequiously  You have no idea  When Van Goghs exhibit hit LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art early 2000s thirtyforty canvases  I gazed on them tenfifteen minutes apiecealmost missed my return bus 

Thas gazing

Whered she sit

Where? What do you mean?

Obviously she captured your attention You aint one who has the capacity to admire briefly then stop Ill assume glances forth when you realeyesed R E A L E Y E S E D she was in the room proverbial kid in a candy shop  Though ya lack opacitythink  youre slickthink youre inobvious

                                                   Yah aint

he tipped his head doubtful  Fine Tell me the story

irritated What do you want me to say? 

You gazed

           A more fulsome abundant descriptionshe much be etched in your brain having gazed as hard as you did no detail missed or lost on you

She was a goddess in scarlet. . .  legs forever.

Legs forever when she walked in

Yes. Hot body too.

Doesnt sound gazed

                        Zip details 

What do you want from me?

The story youre giving me Cliff Notes which I woudnt read Im a detractor Assigned readings were skipped by ohsoclever students

Facing me, at the next table, behind Maggie.

Rod Stewart  Every Picture Tells a Story  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmyGa29zIqk

it occurred to him as he dreamed    

                                       that

numbers are that

                   numb-ers

anwhen theyre written as he wrote yesterday 1,178,171

                                                            that cipher does not communicate

onemillion onehundredseventyeightthousand onehundredseventyone

                                                                         the numb-er is shorthand

shorthand should not be used to communicate death

not when in all probability the loss of life from Trumpvirus could have been significantly reduced if it werent for the imbecilic former president

                           “. . . So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous – whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light – and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”

   he checked this morning
