So how would you describe your frenetic brain smiling as she askedcouldnt take his eyes off her dimples

    I  think   you just did

she puzzled another great look at her

                                         Oh no not fair, frenetic’s mine, come up with your own.

    It woudnt be a word

Itd be an explanation

 

I’m game.

Youve proven yourself he smiledwishing he had dimples time an time delicious time again

Quit with the flattery, Romeo.

Hard

        Keeps my veins open  Flowing

Off topic.

Nice strategy

                Stay on subject

Climb aboard

Youre incorrigibl . .

. . Irrepressible

                   Get your adjective right

a big smile could Acapulco deep dive into those dimples

                                                     What’s your explanation?

You have a sensational imaginationhave proved it time an again

                                                                      Youll follow

An octopus has a brain controlling each of its tenacles

Yes.

It also has a brain in its head

Yes.

The only thing that stops it from either entering or escaping throw an opening is the circumference of the base of its beak

Yes.

   Then

           You understand the extent of what courses through my overmatched brain an imagination  I am not alone

     I did a cutup of it when we first started dating

You did?

Ja

      You were so fascinated by the concept 

I was tickled to have your cherry

    dimples

You have to fuck with my factors?

Jaright

             Hard to fathom your fascination

Ten to the first power

                         Its ten

Whas with the exponents

For the ability to expres . .

. . To whom  My point

                             Ja I understand its intrinsic ability to express very large or very small numbers  fewer digits much more manageable   but who are you addressing

Ive asked you to quit usinem when youre talking with me

                                                                 Makes me go cold

I disassociate                           

Im disinterested

    I’d think you’d be the last person disinterested by exponents.

After Ive told you

                      Factors  

Id rather you were factoring in aspec . . .

                                             Ohshit    I get it  Suddenlyget it

What?

Theyre numbers

What about them?

Theyre numbers

I like words

What do you mean?

Ten to the first to the second to the third

                                            One zero  two  three

Yes.

I say ten onehunred  onethousand

You do.

Ansince you don wanna work tha hard

                                             When I ask you the reasonsfactors the whys of decisions youve made you clamup

    Do you think Im accusing you

You’re awfully aggressive, puts me on my heels.

Numbers are dispassionate

Data 

Sterile

 

Yeah.

Seems  again   analytical versus critical thinking

 

    I don’t know.

Seems obvious

I don’t know.

Lemme give you a hypothe . .

. . I wish you woudnt

But I’m fascinatedcurious what you’d say.

   Do you have an idea wha Id say

I . . I think I do.

Then why not go with whaya think

 

Wouldn’t you agree I’d be making an assumption and you look down, unkindly, on people who make them?

    There is tha

Yes.

 

Awright  Shoot

If someone would pay you ten cents a word for what you’ve writtenno strings attached . . would you accept tha . .

. . No

    Are you going to let me finish?

You were finished

begrudgingly  I was.

                          It’d be a lot of money.

 

Why no?

Id be crossing myself

Crossing?

               How so?                                                                                                                     

Im anonymous

                  I write to say wha I want

I don care wha people think

If they draw something from itfine

                                     If notfine

Im not ambivalent

 

It’d be a lot of mone . .

. . Hypothetically

                            Let me ask you

What?

What I write is based on a principle

Principle?

A foundation

                   Foundational

All right.

    Wha principle woud you sell

What  principle  would  I  sell?

 

 

I thought youd be as immediate as me

                                         Though like most thingssince I have the luxury of unimpededuninterrupted time  am thoughtful    have thoroughly consideredem

rarely shoot from the hip

but if I do

             I have my life experiences intuition   wisdom  readily in play at hand

 

Are you selling

It’d be a lot of money.

Youve said

 

Let me rephrase

Okay.

If you sell off one principle

                               Likely you coud sell off others

You have a price

What? You haven’t a price?

I havent a temptation

he confirmed there are eight continents his brother had told him  when he related that he had his brother said I was beginning to think you were doubting me.    I have to vet for myself Someone can tell me the skys blue but I have to see for myself

What blue

he communicatedtexted his brother thanked him for the headsup

                                                                           then he thought

thats when things can get out of hand

                                         at least

hes been accused of that

though unfortunately  by people he considered     porous 

Ohcome on  Vacuous

                           Be honest

he bent over pickedup a stick

                                Wanna play fetch

We cant

No

       Yacant      So           

Howbout ya butt out

    In a moment     Truly not vacuous

Im tryin to be less aggressive Less aplomb

Thas not you

    No   No its not

I appreciate the correction

                               Nevertheless

A little latitude little longitude ifya woudnt mind

Woudnt mindwont let the door crack us in the ass

Thank you

Youre welcome

he proceeded with the porous analogy despite the mariachis correction

theyre porous

                 pour freshwater into themprovide them valid information he maintains his sources should they want to challenge him

    then like sieves

                     unable to hold water       why

why would he offer them credence

 

    continent

during Nam guys who servedwere drafted referred to it in their letters as incountry

older friends from the neighborhood caved  went

he woudnt

             but he promised hed write keep them abreast of happenings at home

 

homemade blue star flags hung in the windows of their homes

a few  when they were killed   gold stars were sewn over the blue ones

he visited their parents 

offered his condolences

choked on his tears

                     They were such great guys they befriended me  Young as I was

he wished they would have listened to him

Those things do not fit in with other things. They’re standouts.

Theyre eclectic

Which you do often.

Which we always will
