NEXT OFF RAMP

Off to the left the east side of the undivided highway was a tall empty sign housing 

beneath it in large whitepainted capital letters  NEXT OFF RAMP

 

the child sitting in the back seat  precocious  was immediately enamoured by the gutted sign

I want to go there

Where

There  That sign

I want to go there

Sweetheart  thats nothing

I want to go there Wont you please take me there It cant be far It says next off ramp

Here  HERE  HERE THISRAMP

the car hurtled past the off ramp

the driver  the man  was unsympathetic  to her cries to the tears the tears now struggling in her eyes  tears confused  emotions confused

she never asked for anything

she wasnt her mother

but he wasnt her father and she had nothing to offer him

not like her mother

not that privately he hadnt subtly allude to her mother that she was  coming of age     prepubescent pubescent
her paps swelling like coming flower blossoms  she must see that her daughter is her spitting image  he imagines her when she was her daughters same age  how she confessed to him that when she was she was distracted by her sexual inklings  quiet ardent desire

this young girl was a wick of her mothers waiting to be lighted and he coyly suggested that he might be the perfect wood match to light her trembling twisting beeswax candle

and rather than being appalled she recognised how very alike she and her daughter were

she had exploded into sex thoughtlessly
perhaps if her mother had thought

her daughter probably would too

he was such a kind man  a fulfilling man  timeless  patient          it didnt seem                         unnatural

why should she be ruined by a know-nothing boy who would only fumble at her clothing Take her in a rush and cum

she wouldnt have an orgasm with that kind of boy

he verily guaranteed   he would take her gently slowly  deliberately  as when he took her
then her little girl could have that experience she was denied   isnt that what a mother is supposed to do  give her daughter what she wanted but never got or was provided so late that the sweetness was tinged by a bitter edge

the girl fixed on the dark roots at the back of her mothers head

 

she dyed it blonde because he liked blondes

I never ask for anything

I want to go   please

Please take the next off ramp

                                                 Please

Baby  Its the remains of a crappy old fast food sign  Nothing more

You dont know

Im not driving

You can make him stop if you wanted to

Him HIM How many times have I told you to call him by his proper name  Frank  How many times  You call him Frank  You should ask Frank would you please stop for me
You owe him that respect

Respect   I dont have to call him anything I dont owe him anything You sleep with him You have sex with him Not me

Frank turned his head and glared past the headrest at her

                                                                                                You little bitch

Well take the next exit and Ill show you what that empty rusted sign advertises

she laughed as if suddenly breathing helium  thin  highpitched   unhinged

then flung herself at him tearing at his pale blue eyes with her fingernails

there was a horrific scream

it wasnt the girl

the car barreled into oncoming traffic and was crushed and exploded in black orange flames under the wheels of a huge piggyback tractor trailer pulling a load of scrap metal 

a hard way to find their way to her NEXT OFF RAMP

2306,  Thursday,  13  8. 15

She read my piece dogs and children and asked  So    which am I

she was particularly tiny

in proportion to myself  

and I wasnt that tall

 

I knocked her out of her shoes one evening to  finally  take in her full measure

she always wore heels

and helping her back to her feet

barefooted

shed nearly have to jump to make five feet

--   And you are

--   Im four-nine

--   Thats a proper dwarf aint it

Arent you

--   You ever seen a dwarf built like me

--   You

nothing came out of her mouth it swung open   she blinked rapidly  but not to keep tears

No

Ive never seen a dwarf built like you

and she was built

                                she was built as if a mad scientist or raving magician took a voluptuous Amazon and shrunk her

like cotton fabric from a dryer set to too hot a heat

the reason he was attracted to her was his wonderment of how she packed  all of that  onto a frame that was scarcely larger than a childs

she zigged and zagged and plummeted in all the right place

                 

she was nipped and taut and terrific

terrifying  

                if you compared her to women of normal stature who genuinely couldnt hold a candle to her

but for the Grace of God or a sensational plastic surgeon

--   No  You havent

--   I have not

--   So you didnt mean to offend me  or be spiteful

--   Baby                                                 

Never crossed my mind

she crossed her arms over her chest and her breasts pushed against each other like two drunks bellying up to a bar when the House bought one for its clientele

a Mexican stand off

she insisted she was Portuguese

she was brown her hair was thick and black teeth white

all sorts of things started crossing his mind   and his musings must have gotten caught in my eyes  screens for the whirling projector inside his skull

--   Aw baby  What I must do to you

--   Then quit talking and do

she laughed deeply a laugh that couldnt possibly come out of her  but did

and she did

she uncrossed her arms

unbuttoned her blouse

unclasped her front hasp

then with her garments sensually curved around the sides of her breasts she began unbutton his pants

--   Watch

he could barely see her hands for her breasts

he went to touch her

she rolled her shoulders withdrawing them from his hands

Patience

Watch

then exposed  she took him in hand

Do you see

he looked but his seeing was bobbled by his banging heart and quickening breath

Do you see

she took him with one hand then the other and back and forth gently tugging and feeling

See

Look

he looked though it seemed to strain his eyes 

Do you see how  big  you look

in my small hands

 

her breasts werent small in his hands

and fondling each other

their mouths and tongues moving on the others

she leaned back away from him

he grabbed her by the ass and lift her onto his cock

her nipples taut

her head thrown back
 

                                        So   which am I 
A bitch  or a child

if he said he couldnt hear what he said

his blood pounded in his ears her breasts jerked with his thrusts her hands around the back of his neck

either  jailable offences  

                                         erotically upping the thrill

dogs and children

Dogs and children sound the same alarm

different tongues

                              but the same alarm

maybe he ought to distinguish that a little better

dogs were dogs   alert  even while they sleep

children

               the dull ones

destine to be worthless   

                                         brusque to be sure  but an honest assessment

havent the breeding a mutt does

its been breed out of them

while sharp children make dogs heel

they innately recognise the difference

                                                                those children suspect

then suspicions confirmed

they seek to be apart

gather their own clans
  

                                       unmercifully

as children honestly are
