John Lennon's deathday

--   What time is it

in her voice he could hear the rush and agitation even after he told her there was no rush

nothing to be hurried about

--   Its ten till five  Lotsa time babe

--   So were good then

--   Were good now  later  and then some

Theres nothing to rush about

The gamell be there when we get there

--   Youre sweet  but you wanna catch the start

--   Please  Theres no rush  Period

Please

--   I like the way you think

the air was slowly leaking out of her pentup balloon

--   I like the way you think too

And the wondrous container its all wrapped up in

--   You trying to get lucky

--   Lucky   Me

Baby I was lucky the moment I met you and you approved

This now is all ribbons and bows and fresh whipped cream frosting

--   What are you up to

--   Ooh  Suspicious

 

Do I make you suspicious

--   Your teams playing this evening and I know you like being there for the kickoff 

 

Something in your head that makes you think theyll play better if youre there from the

getgo

--   Im pretty transparent huh

Theyre big boys

 

Theyll play how they play even if Im not watching

--   Really

her breath caught in her throat

--   Whacha got going on inside your head

there was a hush of fabric  giggles

Whacha got going on babe

she stepped out into the hall with her blouse open

in her panties

--   If youre watching me  will they still play how theyll play

--   If Im watching you

she started down the hall to the bedroom

she grasped a candle in her hand

the air trailing her smelled fresh and clean

a note of grapefruit

that scent he bought her

and almost fainted at its price

Theyre on their own

They wont miss me any more than Ill miss them

from the bedroom  hushed

--   Somebody might think youre a pushover

--   Well

This aint what I call a pushover

she laughed

sometimes games prove not to be competitive at all
