they tried to meet once a week to walk converse a little more than a mile around a local lake

    If I may

Yes? What’s that?

Weve walked near a dozen times together

                                                  Must we walk clockwise around it

Clockwise?

Jah

Why would we walk otherwise?

                                  Time is clockwise.  We walk as the future urges us.

We coud walk on occasion counterclockwise

                                                    Into the past

That hardly makes sense.

I contend otherwise

Explain.

You enjoy the Olympics track  trials tha lead up to it

I certainly do.

They race into the past

                            Counterclockwise

                

Would you be too uncomfortable to walk around the lak . .

I drink mine black

                    Though if I did Id stir counterclockwise   Backhanded

Im lefthanded

I’m righthanded. I’d stir backhanded clockwise.

It may be just tha

                       Our handedness   Our brains

    I haven’t thought of that.

It may be.

 

Does it bother you?

Im lefthanded

                  Nothings bothered me since I learned as a boy most people don think or do things the way I will
