                        WHA

not that he was expecting an answer

an answer woud probably irritate him more

                                               Make your point

it was insistent

bugged him most of the night

                                he ignored it until it woke himWHAT

his cat hearing his voice came up the hall on a dead run leapt onto the bed

her expression WHA

Hiya leftie

            I appreciate your attention baby  Its still dark  Not time to eat not time to eat

a good pettingscuffing sufficed

eventually she quit with her feigns left right left right  left   right and settled down between his legs  nuzzled  went to sleep

he fell back asleep slept better when she slept

                                                the pulsing continued

occurring in different places left of his spine

were they contiguous  aligned  hed think muscular

                                                         but they werent

random  varying strengths    no tempo

Im going to sleep he said  quietly    so he didnt disturb leftie

   was able to shut it out

when he woke in the morning

                                  they continued

made the bed fed the cats in an out shrubjay showed Boid Boid Boid  fed it kibbles

    they were there

did laundry vacuumed made coffee went to his PC read newsfeeds wrote emails just like the letters he wrote  no one replied

       must think he was being rhetorical

still there  Hey bub  Hey bub  Hey bub

                                          Ya you  Ya you

Wha

he went so far as to enterbring up Morse Code and see if he could make some sense of it words  a message  from a neural sponsor some fuckinhilarious apparition

he couldnt

    was with him until the middle of the afternoon when he smoked a joint had a red beer spiked with kimchi

sat with the sun on his back

                               felt the taps quiver  lessen    quietquiver  lesser    quit

wanted sun

fuck if he knew

    hasnt returned   

damn right tempting fate

                           tossing it up into the ether

daring

    he figured it went onto some other shmuck

                                                  some other receptor ripe for the picking

music box

You know how it is when youre folding laundryyour mind wanders

No. I don’t I play music.

Playing music your mind doesnt wander

                                             You singing

I don’t sing.

An playing music your mind doesnt wander Doesnt music invoke memories its a trigger for me a if you woud  a soundtrack takes me back I remember good times

Remember bad ones too

No.

    I can’t say that it does.

   Are you purposefully being contrary

No.

Actually you are  An often   So we don agree

                                                  Passive aggressive

I disagree.

Of course you do

                     Nevermind

   I’d like to hear what you thought.

Ships sailed Im gonna go

he made a pouty face Did I hurt your feelings?

No  You cant

              But whaya really oughta do right now is take a selfie have tha expression made into an emoji you can use while texting

                   So cute

Just like a chick

   music box

what he thought while he folded laundry

                                            it just wandered in

made him chuckle

                    the chuckle turned into a laugh

                                                      the laugh into a near wipe-the-tears-from-his-eyes

he cracked himself up

JAYSUS pull it together man

met at a family picnic they were familiar but hadnt really connected in the past

                                                                                     red beers helped

it was a hot day

as dusk fell they went for a walk around the park lagoon

she stumbled

he missed the crook of her arm

she tumbled into the water

looked like the waterlilies around her

it was shallow so he didnt jump in to help her

                                                  his laughter also didnt help

standing at the edge of the lagoon he held his hand out

she splashed the hell out of him

   eventually amid riotous laughter she took his hand

                                                         Youre wet

You’re as wet as me.

he looked at his clothing

                           I am

My motel’s not far from here, it has a laundry. We can walk, don’t imagine you’d want to get in your car wet.

Or a wee bit drunk

Or that.

Yah okay Lets stroll

it wasnt far

Tellya what.

Wha

I’ll shower, change my clothes, and while you shower I can take our clothes launder them. There’s a robe in the closet.

nothing in that sounded like seduction or foreplay

                                                       yet

by the time the clothes were dry

several Jacks sipped

continued winning conversation

minimal furniture

the bed was inviting

I may be a bit rusty

Isn’t it like riding a bicycle?

One sits on a bike an yaint no bike baby

again their laughter lubricated them

he went down between her legs

her breath came faster as he began to part her

                                                    he paused   Yahear tha pressed her legs together

What?

Didnt hear tha

   No.  Nothing.

Probably nothing

                 began parting herSTOPPED pressed them together   Ya don hear tha

she looked at him

                         Im not hearing anything.

Hmmm

         began parting her again  stopped  slightly pried There   Tha

What? No.

                Nothing.

Listen

         Ohyes definitely

What?

Zeppelin

What?

Rock an Roll

What of it?

Been a long time been a long time been a long a lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time  Yes it has

Oh quiet.

he did

          split her wide

   like at the lagoon

                      she tumbled   out of bed to escape his tonguelashing

was like riding a bicycle

didnt listen to himself

                         Trouble with a capital T whenever he defied himself

   Whawere you thinkin

Back off

         If I needya Ill let ya know  sighed   Happened a long time ago

   he told his daughter he lived vicariously through her

                                                           Your life your travels diving your time at sea it dwarfing mine  I love tha about you   Im envious  Congratulations

                                                         I know its not been easy

Really Papa?

Comon

         Don gimme an incredulous puss   Im tellinya

I’m confused.

                  What . . . . what went wrong?

he smiled Your mother

                          I mean it in the best possible light I didnt see her coming

Didnt imagine a woman of her caliber woud be attracted to me

                                                                   Thought I always had tha going for me

How could she not?

                      Your bright, handsome . . .

he interrupted her vigorously duground in his pockets with both hands

she chuckled

                  Whatever are you doing?

he smiled

              Thought I had some loose change folded paper money chumpchange  Left it in the car

For what?

To tip you

Jesus Papa, are you ever serious?

   Eventually  After the humour passes   Its my default

                                                             Ive suffered too many reversalslosses to take myself seriously

Then like right now  Im forced

Case in point

Case being?

Keep moving One foot ahead of the other

                                                Forward Don look back

That’s how you live your lif . .

. . Now

           Too late

How?  Can you explain?

Yah

      If you stay in one place long enough you create   space spaces   that trigger memories   Then when you pass theminhabit them  the space is enveloped in memory Captive   Imprisone . .

. . Prisoner?

   Yes  Precisely

                     When you keep moving ya limit things  triggers

Memories ought to happen on their own accord  Not enshrined by physical locations

Longer you spend anywhere . .

. . Isn’t there comfort in that?

Isnt there discomfort

Yes.

Yah

      Id say what triggers you when you return home  is home  Lived here eighteen years before you went off to school

Home  Here

               Does not provide you good memories  does it

   No.

Keep moving

the bars closed

the strippers letting out

Yare vain

Im not talking about everyone don go global on me keep yourself as reference

                                                                                    Please

Generally speakin . .

            Please

If you rather  I can put it in contextperhaps I shoud have begun there I usually do usually say wha I mean  used as a springboard

There you go, now we’re talking.  You usually do.
