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

he picked him up from the airport a few days back

had been feeding his outdoor birds watering them scooping leaves out of the pool

since friend lived in the hills and he in town he asked if itd be cool he held onto his car the ten days hed be gone

it made perfect sense

Yeah sure. That’s a great idea.

Thaswha I thought

when he picked him up they went straight on to his place where he gathered his car and drove home

 

they met after the New Year at friends place in the hills in the forest

                                                                          convened for coffee edibles conversation

later imbibed Bruen  friend went with his sweet faggish concoction

                                                                           told him so

You think my drink is faggish?

Effete

         Fuckya

Surprised it hasnt rotted the teeth out of your head

I mentioned it to a couple of my homosexual friends an they thought it was faggish

                                                                                         Said theyd be happy to meet you

knew that would creep him out

Yeah. I don’t think so.

Too bad  Theyre awfully sweet guys

was another either/or proposition that buddyboy could raise if he chose on anything he might consider  but didnt   hasnt  which is why as they occur to him he raises them

                                                                         colour him curious

    Really?

Real 

Why would you ask that?

I believe you know

                       If not

My incessant unquenchable thirst to examine question thoughts which appealhave occurred to me an offer them for others to opine

    Wear the skin

 

Skin?   Unbelievable.

Ya better believe it

                       You can argue your small sample size  disregard it coud be larger if youd ever reach out for the opinion of others

Youre desperately unlike me

Ive asked

             Lemme think      Two  five seven   nineten

                                                              Ive asked ten including me  eleven

Youre twelve

How many said skin?

Nine One declined  One said chinchilla

                                           But she said her grandmother had a chinchilla coat an on occasion woud let her wear it inside the house

It was so soft she said

    Whasay you

Chinchilla.

I woudave absolutely guessed thaswha youd say

Absolutely?

               Theres no suc . .

. . Youd have sex with a man

 

    See  There is absolutely

                               I absolutely woudave said youd say chinchilla because youre humancentric the world must revolve around Manunkinde

Every other living being is lesser

No.

Jah

      Maybe the question shoud have been is one dead human skin worth more than the lives of hunredtwentyhunredfifty chinchilla

My question wasnt flensing a live human killing a human for their skin

                                                                               Whereas

Its okay with you an one other in the small sample size to kill a lot of little animals because their fur is desirable
