his father is elderly
had a birthday
made a wish
later that night they were sharing black
coffee and Drambuie
Say?
Ja Dad
Would you care to know what my birthday
wish was I don’t buy into that nonsense if you share it it doesn’t come true .
. . how many wishes do?
Ja
Id love to hear
I wished he
slid forward in his chair seat towards him created an atmosphere of confidence I wished gravity would let me be, leave me
alone.
hed
take several spills recently fortunately
only his pride was bruised
Thas a great wish
I thought so.
However you recall wha weve conspired to say
I do.
Which is
I didn’t fall. I was shoved.
Ja
Shoved
amigo when
he related the coffee conversation
asked Shoved?
Ja
Why not admit he fell?
Why
Who would shove an old man?
Be careful
You aint no spring
chick
I remember not a year ago when tha clown shoved you from behind I grabbed ya
ya didnt do a header
He apologized. Was an accident, chain
reaction, he’d been shoved, fell against me.
Thas not wha happened
But you took him at his
word ignored mine
Thought his chuckle afterwards
was a dead giveaway
He didn’t chuc . .
.
. He did
No mind Reason I brought up my Dad The three times Ive fallen around here amigos
house catching my flipflop on the ste . .
. . You better watch yourself.
Caught my flipflop on the step
Shoved from behind
An the shove is becoming more violent
Think about it Ive only fallen outside
Like my
Dad
Shoved? rolled his eyes
Quit
Walkin beside you Ive grabbed your arm a couple times when youve stumbled
Or were you shoved
If it’s an option . . shoved . . . but
not violently or as you’ve suggested . . an escalation.
I expected the escalation
Expected?
Ja
Shoved I don eat shit Im frustrating somebody
Frustrating. Somebody.
Ja
Ive no clue
Spun my Rolodex Havent found
a soul from whom I deserve a comeuppance
Your Rolodex?
Oh Right
You havent one
