    has no regrets

Hmp

she came out of her bedroom after a shower in a plush Scotplaid robe her hair bundledup in pale green towel

    Aaah, this is better. Still a few minutes before I have to log-in.

I made your cacao concoction care chuckled  Alliteration

                                                             Woudya care for a cup

You have too much fun.

I woudnt have had it in my mouth ifya hadnt shared yesterday I coud drink it regularly over coffee

More nutritious, but pricey.

Very pricey

Priceyer than coffee, than your Big Bang.

Big Bang  Awfullygood

You say. I rarely imbibe.

Youve actually written tha to me

                                    In a letter

Not a text or email?

Letter Funny the things we put inem

                                        Im glad weve continued writing Only you an my Dad So much nicer to find in the mailbox than lousy throwaway advertisement  Bills

                                                                         Communion

It is nice.

           Curiously, speaking of communion, many people I recruit share kinds of communion.

Strikes me youre referring to outside church

Yes.  I would liken it to a hive, human hive, hive culture.

    How so

They’ll take turns working for the benefit of the hive. Work a year. Take a year off while someone else works, picks up the tab.

Tha must make you nuts as a recruiter tryin to determine their work ethic

There’s definitely an ethic, just not a kind you or I are familiarhave grown up under, forty fortyplus hours a week fiftytwo weeks a year year after year after year.

Must say, it sounds appealin . .

. . Aspect sounds appealing  Makes me wonder the inner workings

Doesn’t it?

It does.

    she sighed Could make one long for a sugar Daddy.

A sugar Momma

 

Nah. If sex were the trade-off that’d be fine.

                                                   I suspect there’s fine print.

Suspect    Restrictions

Yah.

        And you and I recoil at restrictions.

Hmp We certainly do Stanley

this assertion had provoked a tumult at the tribunal.

the flounder in the rushes

gray on gray in sweaters and expands pleated skirt

how the flounder was protected against aggression

cant remembernow what he was readingbut he pulled it back away from his face

                                                                                                 Hey doll

Got a dictionary around

from the bedroom

                    On the shelf over the liquor cabinet.

the cabinet was plied on it a twelve bottle wine rack plied  hard liquor bottles sitting on end her three favourite liqueurs on an handsome ornate silver tray with an assortment of stópkis to sip from

 

Find it?

taking it from the shelf

                          Yes  Thank you

You’re welcome.

                    I’m going to take a shower before I log-in for work.

she was working remote

he was visiting

she offered to share her bed to save him a hotel room    No he corrected her  Motel

he returned to the upholstered chair side table black coffee clipboard leaning against the leg of the table

setting the dictionary in his lap he fingered through it to find parathesis

                                                                            he knew parenthesis

For cryinoutloud he said to her dog  Theyre the same

leaning over the dictionary nesting on his lap hed keep it there knew hed read another word that would catch him off guard Wha the hell does tha mean  had closed it grabbed his clipboard took a red BIC pen from behind his ear  wrote

        parathesis   beneath it  parenthesis

then sigh

then ( sigh )

( pulling teeth here )

                       remembered

Gunter Grass

The Flounder

               where he originally read of Awa the Earth Goddess her three breasts

he was a boy when he first discovered it a used paperback turned sideways on top of hardbound Grass books he couldnt afford a hardboundwords were what mattered then

Awa set him on a quest

                          obviously women had only two breasts

so his managed his conundrum by finding women with breasts large enough that three common breasts would be equaled by her two

                               O R  generously  wha a guy

a woman who like he enjoyed Irish whisky  Redbreast neat

    it was a kick fulfilling his conundrum

“. . . Goddess of triune font.”
