the receptionist held the remote

                                  he asked the black woman seated in the waiting room If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

London.

the receptionist paused looked over to him And you? 

he wondered if this guy tried moonlighting as a comedian

since when did entertainment enter their job description

                                                 replied TenEighteen Garden

Where’s that?

I asked if you could go anywhere in the world?

I heard TenEighteen

                      Was my childhood home razed twenty years ago  It doesnt exist

If I coud go anywhere Id go there

I meant in the real world.

Takes a little work

looked like he wanted to sigh

                          disregarding him the receptionist pointed the remote at the flatscreen mounted on the wall went through a variety of commands in order to find a channel a London promotional a touristy program  . . . getting to know you getting to know all about you

immediatelygrabbed the woman attention she had been surfing her smartphone

    It takes a little work

he ignored him

                which didnt bother him

he didnt ask the patentlystupid question
