Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum  Zero Mostel  If I Was a Rich Man  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtyinYpNkAU   

two small women if they were any smaller hed be able to eat them like black olives off his fingertips like when he was a boy 

     they looked as tasty as black olives                                      

they worked at the market he frequented

Beatrice he called her Bee appropriately she worked the Courtesy Counter 

                                                                              because the market was a chain it consistently made corporate mistakes which benefited it a wronged item five dollars or less he was reimbursed his money and the item was free

                                not curiously the wrong price was always more than advertised the shelf price ansince he bought very few items at a time ancalculated the approximate total he was imminently aware if corporate screwed up

he was on fire 

               or rather they were

last four times he was there they were wrong

he was getting to know Bee well 

                                     We screw up again? 

They did not you Bee

Lucinda he called Lucinda she worked as a cashier anwas always playing with her hair colour she reminded him of psychedelicswirled cotton candy but not on a stickOHNO he was amazed how much was packed onto her frame calling a four-nine woman curvaceous seemed ridiculous but that was the word

                                                                             he didnt expressly try to be in her line but whenever he found himself in it he was delighted

they had breezyjazzy repartee 

she said she was a reader

                             she knew several of the books he reading it was his habit to bring a book because it was also corporates thing to make people wait there were seven check-outs but usually only three were manned 

                                                                                                                 or one could go to Self-Checkout where mistakes were also being made however no liquor sales were allowed to be transacted 

he liked his beer 

it was on an occasion that he decided rather than have a beer at home hed go to a bar that broadcasted professional football it was Monday best thing about the broadcast was that it was muted it was like going home 

Billy the bartender sharp guy jazzy too   Billy the usual 

Ya got it, Teach. 

                 Billy called him Teach because he said he looked like a teacher that was likely because whenever he went he was by himself so he brought a couple books pen and paper evenif there was football the void of pregame halftime there was always time to read or write  a letter or whaever roamed in his mind

Thank you Billy he handed him a card to start a tab closed out with cash

Yabetcha, Teach, rooting for somebody tonight?

Cheering for the Chiefs

Aah, I thought you were smarter than that.

I havent any skin in the game  unlike you I imagine

Yah, suckers, fans, some real yahoos in here, they’re easy, an I don’t feel bad taking their money because I play the odds.

Odds I don gamble work too hard for my money

Which means if ya did bet you’d probably back a winner . . not a fan are ya?

No  Me an fandom don mix

Smart teacher. somebody called Billys name I gotta go, excuse me, Teach. 

he arrived earlier than he thoughthad thrown the canvas bag over his shoulder and walked despite reading he made really good time he thought he stop more than a couple of time to make notes

                                                                            he took a small table along the brick wall faced so he could see who entered pulled out a clipboard and pen and sipping his beer looked around at the characters 

he didnt know a one

                       ansince that was the case he worked from Lockes clean slate  tabula rasa

then 

      in walked Bee and Lucinda

they immediately saw him waved enthusiastically

he heldup a peace sign

they motored over to him

a couple of real sprites

he stood Bee Lucinda  Whas up girls

Jesus, it was a Monday at work. 

Bee nodded in agreement It was crazy, so Lu and I decided we needed a drink, put the day behind us.

Lemme help Ill buy you a drink we can get to know each other better then ahead of the gamemaybe the day behind you  youll be able to enjoy each other rather than bitch

Aww, I like to bitch . .

. . Lu’s really good at it, she’s amazing, she has the best insults you ever heard.

A sharp tongue Lucinda

I can be acidic  she winked but it can be soft too.

Ooh yes, very soft. giggled Bee

You girls are nuts Tell Billy to put your drinks on Teachs card

Teach’s? they remarked as one

I can see that. said Bee

Yes. Definitely. Lucinda said Can we call you that too? she pouted Bee seeing her pout stuck out her lower lip

Comon girls sure  whaever turns you on

Seems we got ourselves a teacher, Trix. Lucinda winked a second time  Trix laughed bawdily

he joined into their laughter 

                               Sounds like you two are going to be a handful

  he wasnt one who spoke of the future 

he ate them off his fingers like black olives

he thought there was his mistakehe thought 

                                                  he didnt think like others 

Maw  ya drop me on my head when I was a baby

Heckno . . maybe your father . you were fat so I was always very conscious of where I was where you were so we didn’t have an accident.

Dad  ya drop me on my head when I was a baby

No. Why do you ask?

I don think like other people

No you don’t, never have.

                           But you understand that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I don think it is

Good, that’s good.

                    Son, you know your mindwho you are . . so don’t back down, and when you’re wrong admit it . . which I also know of you.

Thas because you and Maw raised me right

We raised youthat’s all we can take credit for, whether we were right or not I can’t say, though I appreciate you think so.

he chuckled  You can poll your brothers and sisters, they may not agree with you.

No no thank you I know they don think like me  I have a hard time asking them for the time of day

Oh, son, that’s harsh.

I am I know  havent time for ignorance or stupidity although there are vastly more who are ignorant  seems they don wanna work that hard

Well, son . . different strokes eh?

Maybe different if so many werent the same

it was a bookcase a barrister bookcase not a sexy birthday gift utterly functional  she always knew exactly what to give him 

         she knew he was simple

                                               

Awbabe I love it

Yes you do.

he laughed 

             Yare not even going to feign modesty 

  No.  she smiled sensational dimples 

                                       Many books you have most people don’t . or even know exist and, besides, the girls will eventually be interested anif the books are laying about they’ll get into them without us knowing . . they’re not youthey she noddedshe nodded absently when something worried her  they have to be older than you were when you first read them . you were precocious for your age   I didntwe didnt have vacations as kids so books were my escape   Yes, I know, I understand.   I wasnt necessarily precocious   Stop. You were.   Keeping the books in the bookcase, your library, you tell the girlslet them know . they have to ask you if they want to read them . . then we’ll know together what they’re reading . . . your parents never knew what you were reading.

I understandsmart However if they ask theyre welcome to whaever books I have

Yes, but they’ll have to ask first.  You didn’t, you sought them out, bought them . . how . when so many were banned . . how?

he winked I knew the right people impressed booksellers I was parchedthey coudnt resist satisfying my thirst 

                                                                                                                     So you understandwere in agreement  girls ask  my books are for the taking

Yes, yes . I do . . but they are not as . promiscuous . as youdespite what you think.  Girls are different than boys.

Not my girls . .

. . Yes your girls. They, despite what you think, are not as outrageous as you. They’ll look at the books. Wonder. Maybe even try to acquire titles without coming to you . or me . but despite your, what shall I call it . . . heavyhandedness . that’s correct I think . . they aren’t you.

Heavyhandedness his turn to nod   Theyre not like you

No.

    No, you’ve made sure of that . but they have my tact, share some sensibilities that you  have  not.  They have my measured sensibilities.

  they did 

              he teased her and the girls that they raised him

I didn’t know that was a thing, is that a thing?

Im tellinya

           Pretty innocuous off the tongue should you say in a nonparticipating salon you can easily excuse yourself  say never mind or yogurt 

Yogurt?  

  TCBY the cluelessness in his face was uncomfortable to witness anhe was usually one who dropped acronyms because he thought them clever The countrys best yogurt

                                                But  as I was saying a hairdresser isnt likely to press you they consider their tip the customers always right  right

Ohright . . that makes sense, no pun intended.

not clever None taken 

So how would you bring it up? continuing proof he wasnt

How woud you 

                   the vacuousness continued Ya keep your ears open eyeballs peeled seques  it killed him Yare clever

I’m not sure I’m that clever.

Then be blatant but keep in mind Never mind keep yogurt in your back pocket

he laughed

            Yogurt in my pants sounds unpleasant.

Id agree

TCB huh?

Yes correct 

            Anyet again  participating salons  Yare in the know he wasnt  he was yanking his chain  he had refused to alter his online dating resumerefused to appreciate that a single dealbreakernot three or four killed the pursuit the appeal   So if a woman owns a dog, you really have no interest in dating her?   If she has small children yare not interested   No I’m not, but they aren’t dogs.   Arent they

he rolled his eyes  Again, TCB means?

Trim cut blow

Trim?

Aesthetician you see one on and off hence trimtrimming things up Cut cut your hair Anablows a blow

Yeah. he sneeredsmacked his lips  Not so much. 

Ya really need to alter your resume man

I'm not going to minimise my chances.

they were introduced by a casual acquaintance 

he bumped into themhadnt gone there expecting to see anyone 

he went because the bar played pro football games on a big screen muted

                                                                              thats how he watched them at home could do without the gasbaggingthe commentary he knew what he saw      

after a pleasant hello a brief exchange he excused himself and made his way to the bar where he moved a stool aside and stood to watch the game 

                                The usual Billy his usual a double Irish Uinta Detour on tap 

a while later she came up on himtouched his shoulderwound around and stood with her back to the screen so he was able to avert his eyes catch the game

smart cookie  

team he rooted for was up a touchdown driving  inside field goal range 

he asked if he could buy her a drink   

Let me think.

he liked women who thought 

I see you’re wearing a ring.

he didnt follow her eyeshe was 

                                   I am

It’s okay you’re out?

he thought but didnt say what he thought 

                                                Im a big boy Why wouldnt I my wife doesnt mind

she tipped her head like a dog catching a dog whistle

                                                         She doesn’t mind? You have an arrangement . . an open marriage?

She doesnt mind 

                   he let her dig a hole  she could as easily have said no thank you 

but she was interested 

he was interesting

he ask if she wanted a drink  not fuck   

So you have an open marriageyou’re upfront about it? 

                                                           a spade full  then another  

She doesnt mind 

                    he wasnt helping

I don’t know if I want to have a drink with a married man.

Im not married

A divorced man . tried that . . messy.

  No  Unfortunately my wife died 

                                    her hole was pretty deep but he thought if shed like hed buy her a drinkhelp her refill it

Buy you a drink

Yes . please . . that would be nice.

Fine  Billy 

             Youll excuse me if occasionally I glance at the game he was up ten

I like football, we can watch together.

Cheering for one over the other

she glanced at the screen looking back he saw she recognised their uniforms 

                                                                                  Who are you cheering for?

No  Rooting for one over the other

Jimmy Jones  Ee-i-ee-i-oh  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTN4BtfXug4

so many bugged that marriage should only be between a man and a woman

It's more than four thousand years old. 

tried and true 

tried and true 

                  hmmm its originalprimary purpose was to bind think about that bondage bind a woman to a man “thus to guarantee that a man’s children were truly his biological heirs” and what of the children he conceives outside of marriage 

biology he wants to get his rocks off  marriage also provided that a woman became a mans property

put the shoe on the other foot

 

would a man submit to marriage if he became a womans propertyOH stop it some might scold Times have changed 

bottom-line

            marriage is a contract between two people antes upped when god is tossed into the mix nevertheless a contract 

 

he was sick and tired of politicians running on the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman
