Perhapsthen none of you possess common sense

                                                      he had a way of busting up cliques

he came alone

his host approached

                       What did you do?

Disagreed with the status quo

I saw. Over?

Common sense  Stoicism

And how did that possibly come up?these are usually lighthearted affairs.

When you invited me you should have mentioned that

Insisted I was knocking his decision

I told her she didnt have to insist

                                    I was

Thought it novel she did

I thought it was usually Tarzan swinging in on a vine to Janes rescue

                                                                          She took exception to my mild rebuke

You? Mild?

    Was mild for me

                       Though it occurred to me as we discussed Bills fallibilitytimidity another scene when equal things were described by words different than one had become attached to and strongly preferred to anothers

This ought to be choice.

Awright

          My daughter was talking and mentioned grounding  I heard her out but she didnt identify what she meant

I asked

Got a truly goofy look on her face

                                    You touch the ground, say grass, without anything between you and it, no shoes.

Oh  Walkin around barefoot

706

      third morning in a row hes wakened at that time to take a leak

returning to bed

returning to shy to bomber  cats

                                   october when she came to bed would be to wake him if he had fallen back to sleep or remind him Hey Bububuddy, time for me to eat.

then the usual

                  hed agree with her out loud and uncovering himself swing his legs over the edge of the bed sit upright Whadaya say Time we get this show on the road

the three would bound off the bed headup the hall

theyd give him five to make his bed

elsewise come looking for him

he knew better

he didnt make them wait

                             but returning this morning shy and bomber were good laying where they were he curled in between them laid back closed his eyes pondered 706

    maybe hypnagogia hypnopompia struggled with one another over him but he couldnt shake the image that occurred to him

                        the O or zero was an entity a being

time occurred to him 7 0 6 albeit the 7 held above their head in their right hand diagonal to the 6 held in their left

          the 7 a wickedsharp scythe the 6 a bludgeoningclub 

a formidable opponent or murderer

Yes love his daughter insisted numerology 7 plus 0 plus 6 equaled 13 1 plus 3 equaled 4 and 4 is a no-nonsense number represents a heads-down approach to life is dependable  stable

    probably meaning 706 is a serial killer

. . . the black bag in his dream

                                 he didnt believed it was a bag

rather a symbol

                 who the hell would dream then absentlyfocus on a black plastic lawn and leaf bag stuffed inside an brightshiny aluminum trashcan

likely he was compelled by cash  wetted denominations fivestenstwenties stuck together stuck to the bottom of the bag

itd be an effort to unstick them particularly when he had no idea what they were wetted with

    glue?

     

that day hed been invited to attend what he understood was a benefit barbecue for something called The Optimist Club

had heard of it though had no idea what it was

    turned out to be an Event

                                      The Third Annual

he wouldnt think something could be called annual until it ranWha   ten years

                                                                         Annual  Anniversaries

he knew too many marriages that brokeup before then

something survives ten yearsthen it deserves to be called an annual

    or maybe they were being optimistic              

 

the function was held inside a building  The Pavillon

                                                           a barbecue  inside

maybe because they were serving wine alcohol prohibited in public parks at a makeshift bar  a festive Christmas tablecloth screw Thanksgiving over an eightfoot folding table

he asked the bartender

                          Any beer

Wine.

asked the bartender

                       Mixed drinks

Wine.

Man canya really call yourself a bartender monosyllabic at that  whine

and to boot

                  a raffle

along the walls narrow tables threefeet deep and atop them short artificial thematicallydecorated Christmas trees  unwrapped gifts placed beneath

tickets were purchased

tickets were slipped inside slotcapped glass urns under the individual trees

the raffle proceeds were to fund various Optimistic projects

the largest portion to provide college scholarships

all and all a worthwhile cause

 

but he thought it was a barbecue

                                          and the more he thought of those denominations stuck to the bottom of the black bag in his dream

he thought

            Man ya bend over to pickup a pennyno matter heads or tails

excusing himself from a clutch of people who were drinking wine he found the can  it had been placed in a remote corner  dumped trash on the floor that had been tossed on top the sticky bills yanked the bag free tossed it to one side put the trash back into the brightshiny aluminum can and wandered off  flaccid sack over his shoulder  like a vagrant Santa
