Howd that happen

                     his heart asked

She  she insinuated herself

    She  was a cat

hallies a woman appleseed was a spider  Insinuated

                                                             Take me at my word

Im not bigyouve rendered me so  Not one to seek friends

                                                              An introvert

Your guard down

You were an excellent boxer

Unlike you

I was a kid then

                   Don think I let my guard down  Ive learned over the years

My doors not swung open

Im dismissive from the get-go

    Youll excuse me  Your recent  allowances     suggest otherwise

Recent suggests   many

Im not suggesting many

                         I havent room for many   We  havent room for many

We do not

    Anyet

An yet

You let them enter

I did

           In my defencenot tha I need to defend myself  from you

Holes  have  happened

    Yes

Perhaps I was pluggin holes

You tell me

   I had room

I was willing to risk

An it cost you

It did

            No blame

No  None

               None

Its to you to negotiate

    It is harder now

It will only be harder

                         Like fictional Immortals who suffer everyones deaths they allowed  themselves  to love

Not that were immortal

No

 

Let me say this

    Yes

I will miss us

                  You made me a rarified organ  I am grateful

I am grateful to you

Well look at you. I rarely see you out.

Out chuckled to himself 

                        nodding to his neighbour Its good to see you Good holidays thus far

They have been, thank you.  Yours?

Good to hear  Yes

                       Be cool

Okay.  You too.

Thank you

 

 

    Out was In at his house

windows openhadnt run heat or air since ’20  only a few states could support his decision  fortunately this was one

when he was asked why he didnt broadcast  somehow it got around he replied

                                                                                  Wha did we do before

Before?  Progress since.

                             That’s not the point.

Its my point

              People take their comfort for granted a lot for granted  I consider them luxuries

Yacold  put on a sweater layer up

One shouldn’t have to dress in their own home.

I agree no   not if they don wish to

If a point Im living the way I want

You have a point, you’re making a point.

Youre suspicious

I think it’s suspicious, it's unorthodox.    Unusual.

    UnAmerican

What do you mean by that?

Runnin with your Uning

You trying to be clever?

Ones cleverness anothers common sense

                                                 Im not tellinya wha to do

But comparativel . .

. . Theres nothing to compare

                               Im not comparing myself to you you to me   Im doin my own thing

You’re insinuating conspicuous consumption.

Call it whaya will

                    I havent a name for it

Ifya need a name a label

                             Mines  cold comfort

I think it's nuts.

Just diggin whaonce was our roots

                                     Feral

I like feral  Its   uncomplicated

1217,  reggaefriday

they shared a raucous Im upyoure down Im downyoure up impetus  a splendid night of lovemaking

                                                                                                       what was so very compelling was that it was precipitated by a job offer she accepted earlier that evening a job she had passionatelypursued for years

she scrambled out of bed usually had to dislodge her to make it

                                                                I’m so excited! Showering, love.

Awright kiddo  Ill warm a towel in the dryer make French Press

Thank you.

               over the hot splashing shower water

    Christ  she was animated

he walked her out to the car hugged kissed her goodbye

as she back out  I’ll text I arrived.

Thank you

she pulled forward descending the hill they waved until they couldnt see each other

he went back inside did the dishes poured himself a cup of coffee began reading the newspaper

                                                                                                          a thought occurred

he set the paper down

concentrated on the thought

                                 laughed

hed share it with her at dinner

 

the thought

              I love you

a statement hes said only to his first girlfriend  his wife who unfortunately had died  and her

                                                                                                     he told her she would be the last woman he ever says it to

chuckled

            I love you a delicious hidden parenthetical

I love (being inside) you (being in your hands between your tits in your mouth your pussy your ass)

                                                                                                 I love (to fuck) you
