HALLIE

thats what she finally concededwrote in block black letters on a coldpressed watercolour paper placard

    it was his idea

but she quicklyfollowed his sentimentgot out ahead of him

                                                                    Jah jah  Thas the idea

It’s crazy.

Any crazier than wha your Maw sayswha she deniescontinually denies you

                                                                                           Virtually

Since you were a teen

they were talking on the phone

he wished he could see her eyes

                                       there was no denying

Crazy

         It coud be an illuminating moment an rather than run the odds submit toem  who knows   Its slim to no chance

But wha the fuck      

                        Wha the fuck

    You really granted to my thinking but you need to set the record straight deny her tha claim wha youve given her provided her   Her whole adult life

Shes been dependent on you

Tell me Im wrong

You’re not.

 

 

So wha do you think

I think we think it’s awfully funny.

Illuminating

    Illuminating.

                        So when she . .

. . Inevitably

             Excuse me   I interrupted

he thought her heard her smile

    Inevitably.

                   So when she thanks Jesus for providing for her . . .

I present the card. Show it to her. Ask her what it says.

                                                                She’ll say Hallie.

I correct her.

I tell her that’s not how it is pronounced.

    Jah

I tell her it’s pronounced . . . Jesus.
