cant remembernow what he was readingbut he pulled it back away from his face

                                                                                                 Hey doll

Got a dictionary around

from the bedroom

                    On the shelf over the liquor cabinet.

the cabinet was plied on it a twelve bottle wine rack plied  hard liquor bottles sitting on end her three favourite liqueurs on an handsome ornate silver tray with an assortment of stópkis to sip from

taking it from the shelf

                          Yes  Thank you

You’re welcome.

                    I’m going to take a shower before I log-in for work.

she was working remote

he was visiting

she offered to share her bed to save him a hotel room    No he corrected her  Motel

he returned to the upholstered chair side table black coffee clipboard leaning against the leg of the table

setting the dictionary in his lap he fingered through it to find parathesis

                                                                            he knew parenthesis

For cryinoutloud he said to her dog  Theyre the same

leaning over the dictionary nesting on his lap hed keep it there knew hed read another word that would catch him off guard Wha the hell does tha mean  had closed it grabbed his clipboard took a red BIC pen from behind his ear  wrote

        parathesis   beneath it  parenthesis

then sigh

then ( sigh )

( pulling teeth here )

                       remembered

Gunter Grass

The Flounder

               where he originally read of Awa the Earth Goddess her three breasts

he was a boy when he first discovered it a used paperback turned sideways on top of hardbound Grass books he couldnt afford a hardboundwords were what mattered then

Awa set him on a quest

                          obviously women had only two breasts

so his managed his conundrum by finding women with breasts large enough that three common breasts would be equaled by her two

                               O R  generously  wha a guy

a woman who like he enjoyed Irish whisky  Redbreast neat

    it was a kick fulfilling his conundrum

“. . . Goddess of triune font.”
