at fourfifty this morning he woke dreamthinking about waiting in line at a Taco Bell Driv-Thru

he was concerned about his ass swinging in trafficstraddling the public sidewalk

No sweat man

                  Theres no such thing as a pedestrian

I am frequently

Jah    How many times have you walked past other pedestrians

    Youre a big help   Thanks

Youre welcome

he ran a hot tub laid in it  closed his eyes

 

an enormous four-door pristine black pickup truck was ahead of him

its brightshiny silver tow-hitch unmarred

truck nuts  balls hung

                           Cute  A vanity vehicle

when the truck pulled forward he darted right around it parked in the lot at the rear

walking back he acknowledged the driver Youre welcome man of a bangedup multicoloured panels Ford Maverick that was behind him obstructing the rightmost lane of traffic

it smelled like weed

 

walking into the lobby he stood backhands in his pockets taking in the illuminated menu board above the service counter that he hadnt seen since his girls were grade schoolers

he crossed his fingers pinto beans were still a thing the seven-layer burrito

beans jah

                Jah

at fivefifty he got out of the tub

toweled dry

slipped into sweats

returned to the bedroom made the bed

laid down on it

his cats came in and laid with him on top of it

they fell asleep
