Buddy interjected

Then he’ll remember.

she turned her attention back to him

                                       There’s no possible way you could remember me. 

I was just a face in the crowd.

I can’t imagine under lights you could see into an audience.

I gotta admit Im keen on the array of books that are shelved behind people interviewed on-line or those who either host or are answering questions during podcasts

I literally stopem then use a magnifying glass to look behindem to see what theyre reading or have read

Ive come away with some fantastic titles and have found an leasedem through the public library

I am not ashamed to say that when I am lookin

                                                   Im dangerously close to havin an orgasm

An orgasm?

    Whas with the puss

Seeing titles, authors, almost gives you an orgasm?

Yes

That’s nuts.

Perhaps

             But let me say this about that

they chuckled

                this and that were part of their volleys currency  they amused themselves dropping it on each other

Please do.

If I had a podcast or were interviewed Have you any idea whawoud be behind me

I believe that’s a no-brainer.

Stop

       Think outside the box youre sorting through before you say

It’s a no-brainer.

I think   no  believe    youll be surprised

I’ll go with my instinct.

It may stink

    You’d have racks of books behind you too.

I woudnt

No?

I asked you to think outside the box

You have an extensive library.

                                   Then what?

Id have pin-ups papering the wall old pin-ups Playmates motorcycle auto magazines covergirls Id have several poster drawn by Robert Crumb

Fritz the Cat fame?

Yup   Hup Zap Mister Natural Head Comix  C  O  M  I  X

                                                                   Don want you being ignorant

Really?

Yah Why no one woud want to interview melisten to my curious takes my solution to Americas inequality

You have a solution?

I do

Care to share?

Happy to

           When Romney was running for president he insisted corporations were people too

When Castro took over Cuba he nationalised American corporations  It follows then tha government can nationalise American billionaires take their ridiculous offensive wealth leaveem five million a year negotiable

They can live handsomely on tha

Then redistribute the wealth Feed educate children Bolster the social safety net bolster medical care Have clean air clean water

A fresh start

That’s crazy.

    Its crazy it hasnt been done yet
