he had made it a point not to miss Twosdays 222PM or 2222hrs  22  2. 2022  or as was text messaged to him by two friends

        Today’s 22022022!

he had a sneaking suspicioncouldnt say for sure that he was anal

                                                                       however their texts assured him he was not

so not anal he realised he soughtsimply to be mindful of those particular minutes  he felt he must

                                                                                                        like he felt he must masturbate to a junior high school buddys collegaged sister particularly  standing on their garage roof across a small backyard looking into her bedroom as she naked masturbated watching him out her window

one time he actually fell off the roof when he came

she always fell backwards onto her bed when she came

that was one helluva summer

Pigeon shit no, I don’t think that’s pigeon shit, you ever see pigeons roosting ‘round here?

just when he thought he parked voyeur at the door

                                                      there he appeared in all his glorysplendor  hed concede voyeur enjoyed a unique yasneak splendor

he was dreaming

                  sitting at a coffeeshop out of doors amid an amicable chatty crowd  soft overhead lighting strung on wires on crossbeams a rustic roofed pavilion

                                               truth of the matter earlier that evening he had read a passage from Born in Blackness read a description of the mid- late seventeen century historian William Cowan wrote The numerous coffeehouses of the metropolis were greater than the sum of their parts; they formed an interactive system in which information was socialized and made sense of by various constituencies of the city.

he sat alone back to a brick wall at a café table facing the entry it was late couples waft in maybe from diners or films music or just seeking the warming pleasure of being in a social atmosphere

he was arrested by two particular women

                                            he paid attention to them furtively over the top of a book he was reading its heel resting on a clipboard paper a pen tucked over his ear which he recorded parcels he read quotes or ideations the words evoked

               frequently musing his head upstroking his chin with the backs of his fingers  intermittent blindnessthen seeing  they were directed in line where the women sat

one was tall statuesque

                           for some reason which he didnt question or need explanation shed lean forwardher blouse would gape open favouring him he liked to think with generous helpings of her naked breasts seemed  in  slo mo she was killing him his cock said Did you see that?  he replied to the dolt If I hadnt ya wouldnt be asking  Ah, true. Keen eye, fella. asif his cock didnt know his namecouldnt admit their attachment their lifelong friendship frissonship

deftly or so it seemed although women have radarare aware they are being admired during some momentshis head up entertaining silent monologues she looked directly at him  their eyes met  they exchanged pleasant smiles

       she was killing himshe knew it

                                         voyeur enteredhe wondered out loud over the top of dolts murmurings if he thought she might Eer clearing his throat be an exhibitionist You know, ifya got em flaunt em.

Isnt it nicerather to enjoy a fans appreciation adulation

I think she’s flaunting herself.

Its not necessary to be right  Just relish

cock an voyeur noddedshut up which made the evening nicer

her date stood he helped her with her chair standing up in between them she  blatantlybriskly elbows in tugged her collaropened her blouserevealed her breasts

                                               her radiant smile hed dare say exceeded his own 

they left her dates hand on her elbow escorting her

  then

       ofcourse then

the small Asian woman at a table one over from his who he also occasionally gazed at and sat in line where radiant had sat stood facing him she bent over clutched several parcels off the table at once standing upright their weight cleanly tugged her tube top down popped her left breast out a perky darkbrown nipple winked at him seemed very content 

stunnedshe looked down at her breast maybe felt the cool evening air  she looked up looked at him

he maintained his interest on her chocolate kiss

                                                    then looking up into her face Do you need help

she smiled she blushed she seemed exasperated

                                                   she could have leaned down set the packages back on the table although had she she would have overtly exposed herself currently she only entertained an audience of one

                                                                                                                  Yes please, if you wouldn’t mind.

My pleasure you can imagine my pleasure

                                                  he stuffed dolt and voyeur before they could pipe upopen their mouths

he stoodstepped around the table between them took the packages from her so she could oh-so-subtly cover herself as she did as he watched he said to her and her You should understand my first inklingfirst instinct to help was to pull your top up I really reached to summons my gentlemanly self

she colouring now bubbling into her face brightbrown eyes simply said Thank you.

Yare welcome Thank youse

he could easily have sequed into a smoky neonlit bar a secluded pool table at its rear shooting strip eightball against two girls who fancied themselves sharks one had a fascinating mole on the inside of her left hip had it been on her face he would have described it a Marilyn Monroe mole the other had a tattoo of a small comedic beaver on the inside of her right thigh for  as she described special friends

                                              thats a whole other dream

a world that been watching

it seemed to him that the UN ought to seriously consider removing Russia as a member

if it gets its shit together it can reapply

although it would not again enjoy Permanent member stature

                                                                  its premeditated attack on Ukrainian sovereignty has foreclosed that membership

she was keeping him on his toes

but thats what an eightyear old should be doing

                                                  it tickles him pink he wouldnt have considered themthought them if she hadnt said

to her credit she vivified stunned his imagination which frankly didnt take much he was easily amused and she was rightup his alley

he listened to her intensely  attentively

a week earlier she slayed him announcing she was taking on an optical course at school would he help her meet the challenge and donate money

    obstacle

              he thought to correct her then he shut up  an obstacle course would be an optical courseHA he wouldnt think obstacle again

this morning she wrote him an email

the subject line read New quote for the day

                                              it opened When you fall there is always Sum body to help you up and you will always help them up when they fall . . .

    Sum body

              wouldnt correct that either and was unlikely to think or recognise somebody again either

Sum body sums somebody up explicitly

                                           we are the sum of our parts our experiences thoughts imagination dreams nightmares

she had him by his shorthairs

                               not that hed tell her at least not until she got a little older kids grew up faster these days and he preferred that honour

SMARTSVILLE calling

Coolieoh DaddyO Ya fuckin kiddin me

                                       hadnt cried Coolieoh in years seemed to rise up out of the depths the sludge he long ago thought had settledwas compressed into an aggregate lazy silicate sediment drooping over his reptilian brain

all things base he exoduseddeposited there

                                              which is probably why when he was agitated erupted  it was in hot gelatinous splashes furious  ferocious

                                          he preferred not to getting caught up in a maelstrom but he was provoked

DO NOT POKE BEAR 

                        a plain English straightforward Zooish admonishment  DO NOT CLIMB FENCE  types of signs erected for public safety

he didnt wear signs 

he said his peace

                   if someone chose to provoke him he wouldnt repeat himselfwasnt a Christianwouldnt turn his cheek  could call him Horace  I meant what I said, and said what I meant. An elephant’s faithful onehunred percent.

DO NOT TRIFLE   TRESPASSERS WILL BE VIOLATED 

SMARTSVILLE 

                           his undesired iPhone revealed that though if a number didnt correlate with his phonebook he ignored it

however that didnt mean he wasnt curious

he Googled it

               Smartsville is a census–designated place  created for purely statistical reasons population sixhunred living in Yuba County once gold country off California State Highway 20 

                                                                          Ohbrother that made him smile years earlier for years he rolled past it many times en route to Grass Valley had also been involved in a terrific automobile accident on 20 east of Nevada City he fared better than the occupants in the other vehicle which was appropriate because it was their fault  accountability

                                 then he was tickled pink by the call because both communities entertained Mark Twain October 1866 as a lecturer after his return from the Sandwich Islands later known as Hawai’i 

maybe Twain had called

that would have been a hoot

who knew there was such a place called Smartsville

                                                       look how smart he was for not answering a telemarketer call

he tended to frustrate friends family his buddy particularly

                                                                Who again, what did you say her name was?    

Simone Weil

And you know her why?

I read

Yes yesyes I know you read, but why, how, did you learn of her?

Im a curious reader . .

. . Jesus

he laughed heartily

                     then gathering his breath I stumbled upon her Cant say howkinda like hopping rock to rock across a wide creek some rocks flipping after I leapt from them I cant retrace my steps from where if I wanted

                                                                                                            But its about the trip the journey not arriving

I like destinations.

Ah your destiny

Destiny.  Always the smart ass.

                                    So what of . . his eyes darted around he was searchingdigging real hard . . . Simone?

Look at youya recalled This is a banner day

he screwed up his face looked like a fly having its wings tore off Just can’t let up can you?

Nope Wont  When you remember regularlyrecall regularly then Ill take my foot off your throat  But until then NOPE

Simone said pay attention man he chuckled to himselfcast his eyes down She said Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity. Which is ineffable I believe it unthought natural  or ought to be natural

Ought to be should be, you’re something else, you shouldHA say should . should, that’s your particular point of view, ought, I know you know, is that that is correct ethically, correct according to society.

Anwhy people ought to pay attention to others when theyre speaking And as long as they speak honestly Ill listen

You? I’ve not known you to listen too long.

I listen until Im handed a line No furthur

You're abrupt.

Who wants to invest in a sham any longer than necessary when its realised

Realized . . how is it you realize so quickly?

  I don know

              I wasnt quick when I was younger but I think its wha ya earn when you have children and parent  Apparently  unfortunately  Ive met a share of people who should have been named Sex because their parents either werent interested in raising them or they didnt have the intelligence intellect to do so 

                                                                                         Not everyone should have children

Not everyone should have children?

NO

    Raising children is selfless I was selfless for twentythree twentyfour years  Now Im selfish Im not as much abrupt as I am frank

Quite an admonishment.

he smiled wryly

                  Look at you paying attention.

ostensibly theyre there to filmcapture the game

                                                 but over the years a few cats directors must have agreed put up shots of women from the audience and of the professional cheerleaders not Catholic high school girls the Minnesota Vikings sufferedmaybe  maybe for years but tithes went up Catholic girls caved unwedded were giving birthNAH maybe  maybe
