                              Donny  Dee   made him think donnybrook  apparently she took a joke wrong and Donny was standing in her cornertaking her side  galante

maybe rest of the evening hed call her tha  

ignore her confusion

                       Why Brooke?

No E

      Gender neutral

What’s with you?

Yeah.

      What is with you.

Nothingabsolutely nothing

                             Humouring myself Ive quit waiting for you

Not happenin

he saw their expressions they were going to come for himtry insults together believing they had the arsenal could gang up on him

I don’t find it funny.

Its not necessary you do

                            Im not beginning every sentence concluding every sentence with it  

    What if I . .

. . Take your best shot

                         I know who I am Im comfortable

that was what bothered them

                              You only talk about yourself. refused to call him an egotist a narcissist  incorrectly

Who woud you have me talk for

No, no.  Your stories.

he chuckled

                 I have stories

he stood  Youll excuse me

as he left the livingroom Brook said  . . . Angela, my friend, you know her, she thinks he’s awfully charming, I told her . . .

the bathroom was around the corner off the kitchen

chuckled again

                  his Mom always called him charming

Comon Maw You know me better than tha

But you are. shed protest

Maw Thas because I tell people to eat shit with a smilepleasantly antheyre not quite sure I just told them to eat shit

Who does tha

Me

Stop, stop, stop.

                   You are very charming, Joe.

Yes Maw

           Im charming

returning to the livingroom

                             abruptly Brook starts up again  I told Angela he’s crass, not charming.

he was

          nothing there to defend

Oh you’re back.

Yes  I was going to pour myself another drink

                                                  Thought maybe youd like yours refreshed

buy them more time  that was paltry

So   politically incorrect

                             then realises who hes mentioning it to     Nevermind

What’s politically incorrect?

Nothing I wasnt askin you

                              Ill wait for Dee to return  ask her

What are you going to ask her?

When she comes back youll hear

But you were going to ask me

I considered it changed my mind

    Why?

Youre a man an this question deserves a womans response  her appraisal

You ca . .

. . Im not

            When Dees back

she reentered the livingroom

                               sat on the loveseat across from themthey on upholstered chairs before a gentle fire  between them a small glasstopped table  base of coiledfused marine chain

I haven’t heard word from here in a bit.

We were waiting for you

He’s got a question thatapparently . . only you can answer.

Yah  It requires a womans a feminine perspective

                                                         Coud you have given me tha

he rolled his eyes

    she covered her smile  What’s the question?

Woud a woman who murdered someone take offence if she were called a murderess as opposed to a murderer  take wholesaleexception as some actresses might who prefer being called actors

I could have answered that.

Because youre a woman

No.

      I have an opinion.

 

Im not interested

                    Which is why I waited for Dee  Why I waited for a real woman

 

    That’s an interesting question, Joe.

                                           We don’t often hear the term murderess.

No we don

I wouldn’t take exception . .

. . Nobody asked you

I’d . . I’d have to give that some thought.

I thought it curious

What made you think to ask?

Were in the time of pronouns

                                 It just presented

I was imagining a fella seated in the gallery behind herover her shoulder calling her a murderess  she stands  sixfootone barefooted  shes wearing four inch heelsglares at him  mutters When I get out I’m gonna find you and cut you into tiny little pieces equal to that tiny little brain in your skull.

That’s severe.

Wha woudya expect from a coldblooded murderer

indicated the spelling is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis

WORD fucks with him every occasion it can

its wrong

            again

since pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis was inventedcoined to be the longest word in the English language he thought itd be great fun to come up with a longerYES invented word

                                                                            and he thought since pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis describes a medical condition  his word should also describe one

he thought

            the word to describe the injuryperhaps fatal  to that cirCUMstance when by dumbluck a man or womans raspy tongue strikesperfectly the recipients G-Spot causing her to violentlymuscularly clasp her thighs buckUp savagely turn to one side or the other

OR

the word to describe the trauma the woman suffered of having inadvertently killed someone then forced to go to the ER to have embedded boneshards skullshards removed from her thighs

Although this election there was a proposition on the ballot to like crack cocaine years ago  finally remediated corrected rescinded

Too late

Longer prison terms
