crossing the flagstone patiowalking up on a small group of people gathered around a plexiglass topped picnic table if a woman sat in a skirt its texturing obscured their hiked hems or relaxedspread legs he overheard . . . I’m bonafide . . the real deal.

he interruptedrecognising the brayer 

                                      Whadaya deal in

I missed the prologue the setup  prequel   Prequel

                                                     Am I right  I recall youre longwinded untiring when you hear your own voice although  admittedly  hearings different than listening

Ifya listened to you  youd have interrupted as Ive done for the nonsense

people began quietly moving off like a clean pane of glass broken by a smooth round stone

squaringup angerflushed  grimacingsneering   I know you?

   Weve met

             At the time you conceded you were poor with names an faces which I found queer because with an effort one coud if they wished an try as I may I havent  I cant forget your face or name   Suffice to say you made an indelible impression upon me 

Where’d we meet?

No no You woudnt recall tha either

                                     At the time you concededconfided hard to tell  tha youre so in the moment tha nothing precedes it or comes after  I immediatelythought akin to a watchs second hand ticking

                                                                                                      Is tha a thing

Second hands

Secondhand

the broken glass slid away dispersed

he ruined bonafides assembly

job one job done

                  as he was approaching he recognised that despite the panes fidgeting they were too polite

Eidgets

real deal remained standing at the head of the table

                                                       he at its foot

ball in his court

he  a simple jester

                      Well

Well, what?

I havent left havent milled away

                                  Complete your thought if you recall  In this moment the preceding

he picked up his wine glass fingers round its rim

                                                    I’ll save that for those who are interested.

Careful friend  Innarestin is ambivalent
