he wokeopened his eyes

his cat recognised he did

                          she boundup from the foot of the bed and tuckedup her head on his chestcurled into his armpit her purring mesmerising

he went with it

closed his eyes

mused

             night before he talked with his old boss on the phone

boss buttdialed him

Id have thought by now yawoudave removed me from your contacts

I thought I had.

they spoke nearly fifteenminutes

                                     were going to meet for beers the following week

mused

            Then

what was going on in his life

then furthurforward in his life

 

    two

            he knew he wasnt a fan of blondes

fewer Midwest blondes than on the West Coast

he defied his better judgement which to-date hadnt worked out

                                                             but

he broke his rules

usually his cock didnt get a vote

he was overruled

                    ruled over

two

college-aged women

met them five years apart

    the first

month  monthanahaf into their playful dalliance feisty flirtation

                                                                     her father committed suicide

she left

her roommate packedup her things and sent them to her

before leavingsaying goodbye  tearfully

                                            she said

he stoppedasked her roommate if she would share her address with him

she said shed ask

she did

           phoned him  she asked  she asked that she not share

 

     five years

sixfootone bodacious blonde

she was a client of his boss’ company

they met inadvertently

despite her attributes

                         she was blonde

she came around the office fourfive times

asked the receptionist shed Please. like to see him

pursued

he would be stupid not to pay her attention

                                             cock cajoling him every time she came by

ruled over

they met for a coffee before work

met for a drink after work

went out for sushi

                     he pleased her

she asked if he wouldnt mind if she fed him his wildcaught salmon sashimi

Ja sure

         I havent been fed since I was a tottler

she was thrilled

they met again for conversation walked along the beach to the pier

turning around to walk back she took his hand

they held hands back to their cars

they were to meet again at the beach when he returned from a business trip

she stood him up

he called

her mother answered

her husband committed suicide

her daughter asked that he understand

                                             Please do not pursue her.

 

he hasnt dated a blonde since

not that a few havent turned his head not that his cock hasnt tried to rule over

WONT

 

two

     was enough

so much for musing
