. . . so a couple times a year I go into townnot saying what town . . I go and I pretend I’m someone else.

Pretend disturbed   Youre

                            You are someone else incredulous

What? sensing his discomfort

he sensed she sensed his disease I wont say interesting as interesting says nothing its ambivalent I dislike ambivalence

   Thas odd  Odd because Ive not ever considered being other than who I am

Which, albeit knowing you only briefly, though intensely, I sense being you is full time job.

Nailed it

          Thank you for being frank

   No pun intended?

You coudnt be Frank ifya tried  Too many curves

Curves?

I wouldn’t play the game.

he nodded sympathetically

Thank you for not pressing.
