Never fails never fails

You’re muttering.

Give me five an Ill be hollering at ya to hear me

                                                 he glanced over Maxs shoulder

Maxs turned right following his look

                                      Awshit.

Ya said it

a city Maintenance truck had parked and an employee was strapping a leaf blower onto his back they sat across from the huge grassy mall sparkling water fountain across from City Hall

Donya think the city would get their labour get a bigger bang for their buck if this cat had a rake but before Max could answer Maintenance fired up the industrial leaf blower

                                                           Wha a fuckin howl

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I said wha a howl

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I SAID HOWL

OHYES, HOWL.

FUCK

YES, FUCK.

WANNA GO INSIDE

MAYBE HE’LL GO UP THE STREET.

BRILLIANT 

           he got up off his ass crossed the street approached Maintenance HEY he started turnedabruptly and retreated as he was reaching to tap him on the shoulder furthur emphasis if he hadnt heard him  Maintenance backed off on the Newtons of force quieting the machine

                                                           Thank you

slipping off his industrial headphones music leaked everywhere What?

I said thank you  Would you mind   Please

Mind?

Pretty obvious Still holding a cup of coffee from the shop across the street where I was having conversation with a friend

You have a rake in your truck

A rake? he asked facetiously

he thought about letting him stew but Norville the stitched name patch on his jacketpossibly on the shirt beneath too  in case he forgot didnt strike him as a deep puddle

                                          Yes A rake Were talking across the street and preferya can imagine not wanting to scream at each other

I have work to do.

Can ya do it on the other end of the mall where the trees and the leaves are I watched you kick up a couplethree leaves at a time here an those leaves  where might you suppose those leaves came from

                                                                                        he looked towards City Hall

Norville followed his gaze Id might imagine these leaves are from those trees at the other end of the mall

Norville looked back at him the machine still gargling

I could do that.

   Please

           I expect well be done with our coffee in a halfhourforty minutes

Half hour.

Forty minutes

Half hour?

Forty minutes

                Look for us or ifya rather I can interrupt you again

Forty minutes.

Thank you he looked at his name patch Norville  he withheld being facetious

We were saying

What did you say to him?

Asked Norville to please tend where the trees and leaves are

You’re kidding me?

                    Norville?

Had you been up-close-an-personal an seen through the googles the headphones off  you may have guessed Norville

Had I a guess before I saw his name patch I would have guessed Huey  Huey Huey Here pig pig pig

What?

Sooie

Sooie?

Pig pig pig  Youve not heard that

No.

Yare definitely from LA

I am, still don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

Anthas okay awright

Mebbe ya saw as I was walkin towards him he blew one leaf forward an it curled back around behind him  One single leaf

I missed that.

Incredible Then he hit a patch threefour leaves blew up into the air which also circled back around him I think through his gogglesdespite being walleyed  their frame obscured his vision

                                                                      He truly needs a rake Rakes don allow escapees

Escapees?

Nah don play dumb

                     When you approach a herd of leaves ya nonchalantly hide the rake behind your back then when you jump them they get confusedlook for a lead leaf to head the breakout but baffledsurprised their randomnessnot wanting to breakup the band they fall into heap inert  listless

                                                                   Before they know wha hit em youve raked them into a pile to deliver to the street gutter curbside to burn them in their stupor 

Are you high?

Hellno  Im Norvillising

                         Im making sensemade him abide me so we could talk Ya got a problem with that OR WOULD YOU RATHER SCREAM

he startled Max he went over backwards dumping his cooled coffee all over him 

Gawddamn it we still had another twelvefifteen minutes

                                                               Are you okay

You frightened me, I hadn’t expected you to scream in my face.

I wont apologising Should try to expect the unexpected

                                                           Adapt react head on a swivel both feet on the ground

Jesus, I’m having coffee.

When you least expect it yare elected yare the star to day  he didnt sing

BLOW ME

 

he had every intentionthe best of intentions to go to bed and masturbate

a coterie waited his conquests if he were sexist but he had been conquered too some of his funnest times  all lined up an waiting

         but as he flipped the 3Dpages of his memory like a jampacked girlie magazine he became indecisive  Ooh the choices then he got trippedup in what options appealed to him  anwhile he mused drowsiness set in  overtook him

Drowsy had a lot going for her kind of matronly but not hornrimmed glasses very naughty librarianish  Here, have you read this? It’s wonderful, phenomenal, magical realism . . come . follow me. bit like the spider said to the fly

ensnaring him she asked Perhaps you’d rather sleep? Go to sleep like a good boy? 

she embraced himswaddled him in her warm bosom an arms breathed gently in his face her breath Ah smelled hypnotic  like a chilled dirty martini

the conversation whippedlathered around him

he heardchose to listen hadnt any skin in the game hence no opinion

it became obvious to the others he wasnt participating

                                                         it usually bothered them more than him

sometimes those conversing got suspiciouslike he was a plant like he was going to run back to the people they were talking about and spill the beans

only when they pointed fingers at him were they able to elicit his standard

                                                                              Youre talk isnt that interesting

he couldnt help himselfdid the same at church

                                                if one hasnt anything to say he fervently believed in saying nothing at all somewhat in line with John Cages logic an line I have nothing to say, and I am saying it. ofcourse Cages bit was said with music lucky stiff

called out sagely hed say SE

“. . . all our close relatives eventually died out, leaving Homo sapiens as the only human species. Their extinctions add one more intriguing, perhaps unanswerable question to the story of our evolution – why are we the only humans to survive?”

it is an interesting article published on-line by the Smithsonian magazine

he found it curious why the question was asked

why five plus two? of six hominin became extinct

                                                 Homo (H.) habilis – H. erectus – H. heidelbergensis – H. neanderthalensis (commingled with Altai Denisovan (which then propagated two additional species H. floresiensis and H. luzonensis)) – H. sapiens

       given H. sapiens proclivity for violence and bloodlust

                                                                his answer wouldnt be audacious

Murdered the Other

                     anthen regarding our singular remaining genus genus  certainly not genius the extermination of Others

were good at it

were cruel

1040,  ReggaeFriday,  14  11. 22

“Neanderthals once stretched across Eurasia from Portugal and the British Isles to Siberia. As Homo sapiens became more prevalent across these areas the Neanderthals faded in their turn, being generally consigned to history by some 40,000 years ago. Some evidence suggests that a few die-hards might have held on in enclaves, like Gibraltar, until perhaps 29,000 years ago. Even today traces of them remain because modern humans carry Neanderthal DNA in their genome.

“Our more mysterious cousins, the Denisovans, left behind so few identifiable fossils that scientists aren’t exactly sure what they looked like, or if they might have been more than one species. A recent study of human genomes in Papua New Guinea suggests that humans may have lived with and interbred with Denisovans there as recently as 15,000 years ago, though the claims are controversial. Their genetic legacy is more certain. Many living Asian people inherited perhaps 3 to 5 percent of their DNA from the Denisovans.

“Despite the bits of genetic ancestry they contributed to living people, all of our close relatives eventually died out, leaving Homo sapiens as the only human species. Their extinctions add one more intriguing, perhaps unanswerable question to the story of our evolution—why were we the only humans to survive?”

Tell you?  What was I supposed to tell you?

An among them is there one person you can point to that you have seen me engagehave a cup of coffee with  Indulge

Had I knownhad you told me every social butterfly in town was going to be here I would have said NO thank you saved myself the time an water I spent showering

That’s a little strong.

Thats an evasion

                    Although  you might be blinded by the kaleidoscope   See  Im being kind  I could call them a swarm of social butterflies

Babe, you need to get out among people, you’re hunkered down, seem downright uncommunicative . . antisocial.

Still evading my question

                              One   Point out one

she only frustrated herself more by looking around the banquet hall for a person had she looked in a mirror she could have pointed to herself and say There, her right there.  that would have been a cheap escape

                                                                                                   he would have called her out on it too

These are social moths Probably why I keep mothballs around the house

I’m gonna get a refill, would you care for one?

I can get that

No sit thanks. she smiled large  freaking dimples  next life he was going to put in for some just like them   powers that be could rerun the tape an ogle hers Just  like  hers  You popped for the coffee, I can get it. she looked down at his clipboard before him You can scribble while I’m gone, keep yourself busy so you’re not looking aroundthink of busying yourself with one of these other women.

he looked eyes grew large  there were many attractive women seated around them  Well howbout tha Although when Im with you you have my complete attention

When I’m with you. she teasedsmiled again slaying him with her dimples

                                                                                Scribble something and share it with me when I’m back, momentarily . . or maybe . I’ll spy on you. she winked he only had eyes for her

he printed the first thing that came into his head DMT

shed know it was a drug without him explaining unfortunately pre-existing conditions she had to contend with she always kept her on top of health an medicine she texted him while he was on a trip about Trump virus in December before coronavirus had a name I think it has the makings to become a pandemic.

                                                                                      she was sober not prone to hyperbole

beneath DMT he played with it asif it was an acronym because he despised them he like to makeup horseshit  he wrote

Delicate Mediator Translator

he struck Delicate 

beneath it he wrote Deleterious

he struck Deleterious

beneath he wrote Dangerous

he struck Dangerous  after them he inserted ?s between them and Mediator

                                                                                 that felt rightfelt better perhaps informing parties to keep their eyes peeled when utilisingemploying it

Did you even look around?

Huh

Look around.

Oh No   I did notgot sidetracked    

Sidetracked? May I see?

Ofcourse

he came out onto the patio with their coffee and stopped short of the café table where Joe sat

he left him alone for the time it took to put on his mask enter the shop order two medium coffees two shots of espresso eachhis with an additional shot of hazelnut and cream the barista always creamed himhad his down to a science  Whodahthought 

he pulled up short because Joes head was down he writing on a clipboard would pause move his head side to side like a boxer scribble some more  oblivious

                                         how he got lost inside five minutes astonished him

setting his pen downlifting his head Joe returned

                                                      Whacha doin man

he stepped to the tablehanded him his coffee

                                                I suppose I’m marveling how quickly you ignore everything around you and become absorbed in . . whathaveyou.

What have you?

Joe held up his coffee to touch it to his Na Zdrowie

the toast is better with booze

Wha have I

Yeah. I wasn’t gone five minutes.

You say the sweetest things.

                                they chuckled

I was playing with the word bisexual

he sneered

Don sneer

           Ya always make a face if sex isnt heterosexual Being bisexual means never having to leave a bar alone Fact

There is that. What’s to play with?

I compared it with dualsexual . .

. . That’s not a word.

I believe it isnot that Ive looked Anif it isnt it ought to be

But you make up words all the time.

If need be

So, again, what’s to play with?

Then I wrote duallysexual above dualsexual an above that I wrote dulysexual They jive

I can see the . no . . not logic, you’re never logical; I can see . the likeness if you would.

I would

        Then I looked at the other half of the equation bisexual  Beneath it I wrote twosexual T W O an beneath that I wrote toosexual T O O

                          Can one ever be too sexual

See he turned the clipboard Looks like a seesaw a teetertotter

he looked

           I can see that.

he shrugged

              Fun

You entertain yourself so easily.

Effortlessly

              Leave me alone an in a heartbeat a party breaks out

You and those invisible yous circling your head like gnats?
