24.5.25


casually turning pages she readquoted him brief sentences

    Arya workin me

Working you.
                  What do you mean?

It feels like youre trying to sell me on this book
                                                  it was called P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna
they were at a freestanding cubby of books one of many Free Libraries in her neighbourhood

I’m not.

he spied her with one eye Feeels like you are

Maybe it feeels you agree with it, like it, and maybee you ought to take it.
                                                                               closed it   handed it to him
its spine was warm where it rested in her hand
                                                  it was a brisk windy morning

Maybe I will

 

he did

 

 

later that morning they were going into the city and getting inshe was driving she muttered Damn.

Whastha

Forgot to logout of a program on the computer. I’ll be right back.

when out earlier they passed the car and rather than carry P.S. around as they walked her dog he placed it in the car

its a childrens book

he read it so he wasnt waiting
                                  that was his default
whenever he walked anywhere and he walked every day he slung a canvas bag over his shoulder within was a book in addition to the one he held as he walked and read a trick since a kid to be able to escape literature his parents demanded he read at home and read science fiction hardboiled fiction black literature Baldwin
          he didnt wait on a damn thing

she was right

she knew leftie died

by the time she returned to the car he had finished it
                                                       was wiping tears out of his eyes
Aw Papa, gotcha?

It did it did kiddo

I’m sorry.

No nothing  not a damn thing you shoud be sorry about
                                                              Thank you for persisting
she leaned across the seat kissed him

sitting back starting the car
                               I thought it was a good fit.
