first letter of the first word of the last six untitled pieces

AHHAPT

              aaah hapt

sounds like something hed like to do whatever it is

 

What do you mean you’re not giving titles to what you write?

Listen Maw

             I also don write The End at the end

The End isn’t as important as the title.

                                          Whatif I didn’t name you?how would you feel?

Dad woud have

Don’t be a smart ass, I can hand you your ass if you continue glib.

A glibber readily fluent

                        Sounds like me yah

Listen to me. How many books have you read, articles you’ve read that haven’t titles?

None

If none, doesn’t that suggest titles are necessary?

For purpose of subject matter yah

And your pieces have subject matter.

Wha mine is an wha a reader might take from them I expect are different an providing a title is direction an Im not keen to direct anyone

                  Theyll find their way to wha they want Or not

That’s stupid.

A moment a moment please

                              When I was a kid an you packed up the picnic basket Dad packed the cooler an we headed out for our Sunday drives

 

Yes?

     What?

I wanted you to fix that in your mind A pregnant pause gives one that

Continue.  she smiled   I’ve been pregnant.

Whos the smart ass  he smiled

                                   An correct me if Im wrongbut to the best of my memory coming to a crossroads Dad would pulloff to the shoulder stop then ask you or ask one of us kids Which way should I go? Left? Right? Continue straight?

Invariably we turned

An we did tha time an time again before stopping to picnic

He didnt look at street markers highway route markers He just went left right straight

 

What’s your point?

A title a name is a direction

                              I prefer that people find their own way

The pieces are meant to be adventures

Why tip anybody off

a small rural town

a slowmotion creek ran through the heart of it

going to sit on a stone retaining wall above the water he noticed in the grass just beyond him someone left an opened crumpled sheet of brownwrap paper on it a started but uneaten portion of chicken breast

                                                                                                wasted

he apologised to the chicken

itd been raise to be slaughtered and in the taking of their life he felt whoever was eating it should have finished or rewrapped it and taken it home to be finished

                                                  not wasted

put him in a surly mood

angered him

                                                                           what

what was the irritation

he felt it in his shoulders across his back snakingup his neck

too many shoulder surgeries

they were where irritation and good anxiousness went to goad to play

he paid keen attention

some stealthy quiet oppression

possession
