Take it with you

that was a month ago

No. I brought it to share with you.

Pause a moment

                         Have you ever seen me adulterate my coffee other than when Ive been at your place Doin as the Romans do

It was hazelnut.

                   You like hazelnu . .

. . At your house

    Ever 

I can’t say that I have.

No  Ya cant

                Because I don  except   when you invite me for coffee

One cup

Refills black

              Slightly  tainted by the wash of residual hazelnut

 

 

he reminded him of this when he called

                                               It blew in my face  how he began

Blew in your face.

What the hell. Blew in your face? Can’t say hello.

Hello

       Was the exhalation of tha hazelnut creamer you refused to take home

Just now?

Just now

    Why?

It expired

You didn’t use it.

I told ya I woudnt

                     Toldya to take it with you

You’ll excuse me all to Hell, but I checked before I left. The expiration date was he let him hang himself March 21, 2026, which I remember, one of those little memory games I play that you refuse to, because it’s my brother’s birthday.

Really

            March 21st

 

Check . . . the label.

I did

I’m right.

    Not exactly

It says March 21, 2026, does it not?

It says  Sell By

                    March 21

It also says  Perishable I quote

                                  Use within two weeks of opening but no later than the date stamped on the label.

Since Im not one to have you take me or do I take anyone at their word next time you invite me Ill bring the label to prove  as evidence  tha

                                        Yashoudave taken it with ya

You brought it for yourself when you stopped for coffee when I told you I hadnt any milk

 

    Don’t bother bringing the label.

No bother at all

 

Would you like to come by Saturday.  Say.
