he liked to flirt with temptation

                                    slowly run his handshis fingers down her sides  cradlecup her fanny

listen to their breathing rise

anticipation in their groins

spit gathering  in the corners of their mouths

    the wholewhile in the liquor aisle

                                           looking coylyup at the cameras

whos watchingtouching themselves

                                     toying with their cocksleanin their cunts on the handle of a wobbly cart

rhythmically

dont try to tell him

                    hes worked years in liquor stores in five different states across the country

a real professional

                    knew the game inside outbut  one thing management couldnt make him do was view surveillance camera screens

he preferred pressing flesh

catching people in the act

 

 

  Temptation

he quit drinking

                   still adores the feelingweight of glassbottled liquor  their colour     shapes

rounded

phallic

    how can one not like the warmpromise of liquid inebriation lingering inside

    they looked at each other  placidnot antagonistic

smiles mixedmused their faces

even musing her dimples flickered deliciously

    pestered

                 before he went to sleep     pestered

pullchain operation of the light in his head failed  then frustrated  YANKing it  broke it

                                                                                           Faack

then

       late night coffee which usually doesnt affect him affected himmight have influenced the frustrated YANK

pestered

         made for a restless night

which is not to say it wasnt entertaining

                                            character Jack Taylor  Ken Bruens creation  remarked

. . . a slight trophy to the collection of oddments from an odd time.

were oddments a real thing he thought madeup “a random collection of things . . . mishmash of leftover items.”

    Ohbrother  sounded like his life

he scribbled it on a clipboard he kept beside himself while he read in bed before sleeping

under it he wrote  odd looks niice

                                      beneath it

OD’d. No.   Simple  odd

                            oddment appeared on page 44

pickedup his red BIC pen again wrote

                                          of course  44  odd looks niice  doubled numbers letters 

the things he put up with to entertain himself because no one was there to entertain him

                                                                                     his fault

he preferred entertaining himself since a kid because people couldnt keepup

he had to explain jokes

                             tedious

tedious    synonym  pestered

                                    recognising yet another versus in them

 

he finally broke out when he had a conversation with a voice in his head

Please  No more skulls to suck an chew

You don’t care for the soft nougat center?

I do  You know I do

Then why?

A fella can get spoiled

                         Too much of a good thing

Fucksakes. That makes perfect sense.

Boyo  it does

 

    cracked an eye

the sky out the window was lightening
