When it takes tha long for someone to thinkbout something theyre not being genuine  honest Then to say wha they did 

Id say vile

They’re offbase to the point of being ridiculous because it’s all there, in writing, or rather texting.

Yes Which confounds me

                             Although our life circumstances have had us pushing backhaving been taken out of context whereby were used to keeping retaining recordscommunications in writing for the exact reason purpose of having them in black and white It really chaps their hides when we use their words against them 

                                                                                           Fuckin embarrassing

Yeah. 

       And as far as I’m concerned she can sit on a pickle.

Is tha a thing he asked laughing

It is now, an I’m talking a deli pickle not no gherkin.

deaths have virtually doubled since last he looked

Disregard his scars, those are from when he was a teenager, a young man, he’s gentle.

Gentle?

I am, yes.

she walked up behind him  he was sitting at the kitchen table

                                                                   I thought as much, another letter babe?

he nodded continued printing

Anyone writing back?

he shook his head no continued printing

I don’t understand.

he shook his head no

   Well maybe when you finish your letter you could explain it to me please? In the meanwhile I thought I’d make a pot of coffeeinterested?

   No.

No thas unlikely Were in the moment were spontaneouswe go from one thing to the next non sequiturlose track of what were saying but tha doesnt matter because its usually an enjoyable conversationcomunication

. . . an asinine aspirational ask 

                                so says Mr.s attorney John Lauro

a fantastic alliteration

not often one gets four letters in a row

                                        sooomaybe for that hed tip his hat to Lauro although he had yet to determine if the attorney had quaffed the Kool-Aid or was just making a buck 

                                                                 no way he would have taken the job without receiving a $ubstantial retainer

the January6 insurrection  Mr. was only asking for ten more daysreturn the ballots to the states

   he had an aspirational ask

since Mr. cant keep his mouth shut or his grimy fingers off Truth Social 

                                                                           remand him to prison he might as well get used to it – for his safety – held in solitary confinement  the United States would save some moola on Secret Service agents tagginround with him only would need one outside the cell eighthour shifts

Problem   Constructive Aspirational Solution  

although

         that might precipitate another problem

Mr. Jeffrey Epstein cut from the same cloth 

                                               anif Epsteins psychological workup was correct his identity “appeared to be based (base) on his wealth, power and association with other high-profile individuals”  his suicide that seemed to remain a debate but hed go with it could be attributed to the “lack of significant interpersonal connections, loss of status, and the idea of potentially spending the rest of his life in prison.” 

                                                                      the same cloth

that might open a can of wormsBUT 

                                     for a man and he used the term loosely with an electronic can-opener and the wileless willy-nilly knack for PROCLAIMING whatever crosses his mind  Well 

                                                                                  he believed itd be a worthwhile try

You’re a stand-up guy.

what disposable income he had

he disposed of long ago 

                         delightfully  unforgettably    unregretfully

he wasnt waiting for his ship to come in

although a windfall wouldnt hurt

windfalls fluttered allround him fleshy threshers beating grain  scatterers feral weeds Johnny Appleseeds

the many believed it was their due

dues that had enriched them all their lives

he just wished theyd be more grateful  modest

less entitled

              often tempting him to played with the idea whaif  whaif   whaif it didnt come to themhad gone to another they were vehemently opposed

                                  exercising his black humour

Aah black humours only a kneeslapper if someones has a knee or is around to witness it

it inspired him 

                Did ya read the fine print

Who’s got time for that?

a kneeslapper being readied

What are you doing?

Im reading the fine printfinding what they buried out in the open

You’re ridiculous.

Nothing like slapping a ridiculousers knee or them stomping their foot

                                                                        echoes that resonate remarkably long  an faraway

physical harnesses of unspoken I told ya so

theyre less cruel

                  people respond better to a CRACK than an outloud insult

that can get you shot in the face

                                  even before one has a chance to say Hey, careful with that don’t point it at me.

never ever daring to sayto taunt in that hot moment Don’t point a gun at someone unless you intend to use it.

the wrong time to suddenly become an idea person

   if he had disposable income

                                  this time hed likely spend it on himself

he knew he would see her tonight in his dreams

he would have made a gentlemans bet with himself if he was a betting man

   he met her in a daydream

wasnt usually where he met women

which made her evermore intriguing 

                                        So where did you meet? someone would ask   We met in a daydream

how does one respond to that

he had no idea

he only just met her

passingwalking in opposite directions he happened to catch her profile her left  immediatelyoverwhelmingly she reminded him of Selene  Luna  moon goddess  fleshed tawnyredhued ivory 

                                                                                  he held his glance longer than usual  unusual

undoubtedly feeling it she returned his glance 

her smile was quicker than his

beat him handsdown

she stepped aside out of the foot traffic brang a foot upleaned against a brick wall  their contrast was bedeviling

he weaved his way through oblivious walkerswalking somewhere in their heads perhaps in daydreams too   he hoped

turning her head as he approached she pouted disappointeddismayed hadnt quite seen a pout like it before but her eyes her eyes   the eyes dont lie 

                  SUDDENLY her right eye imploded

blood aqueous humor dribbled onto her cheek ran down it

she didnt cover the ruin with her hand

he wasnt repulsed

calmly looking at him she said  This is unfortunate.

                                                          the wound did not detract from her beauty

he handed her his handkerchief

taking itbringing it to her face It smells good  I thought only womens smelled good

Learned a few tricks helping my maw with laundry

she daubed her throat chin cheek 

                                     May I return it this evening

This evening he may have gulped  Yes of course

Then fine . . this evening.  she smiled bigger yet

                                                      and dematerialised

he was meeting his girlfriend for coffee at a café she enjoyed

                                                                 she was walking late not running 

it was early

shortly after Six

no sweat

           he had paper pen a couple of bookswas able to entertain himself  

however his peace entertainment was diminishedrepeatedly interrupted by two characters across the room two men

they werent oblivious

after haranguing for ten minuteshe noted by the clock on the wall he didnt wear a watch or have one that he aware of the time spoke of his irritation

hed give them a couple more minutes a little more rope to rein themselves in before he would

had his girlfriend been there hed have been in their faces    

listening to their braying he was convinced their conversation was performance art acting for the benefit of the sparse room

as he was upapproaching them one defiantly stated he was pro-choicethis neck of the woods was decidedly Rightwing his cohort mumbledhe only heard only because he was on them  I’m pro-choice too.

   Gentlemen an I use the term loosely 

                                          Its not your choice  Hers 

Aside from tha woud you be so kind as to tone it down  My girlfriend will be hereglanced to the entry door momentarily  an Id appreciate speaking with her without raising my voice for her to hear me

they eyeballed each othershifted in their chairs 

                                                 he believed at least they realised standing over them he had the upperhand first one up first one dropped an then simple math one on one whicheverone still had to getup out of their chair

he was raised in Chicago

didnt mind donnybrooks

liked these odds

early morning coffeeshop

not a late night bar

Hey Joe!

he didnt turn towards her Hey baby  Right there 

Youll excuse me gentlemen I really appreciate your cooperation  Thank you

   Hmmm

             Seems to me tha odds were long Mr. won every state by “100,000s of votes” woudbe very unlikely   an particularly in states whose populations were less a million 

turns out there are six states and the District of Columbia with populations less than a million

among them  none of the seven states Mr. really really whined about

Gee babe, you look mighty deep in thought.

she walked over to himbeside him 

                                      You look mighty deep in thought.

she touched his shoulderhe sat up boltstraight asif shocked she steppedlunged back

Wha he asked wideeyed

she stepped awayher hand to her mouth then laughed through it

                                                                         I’m sorry she giggled into her hand I’m sorry . . I said . I said that you looked mighty deep in thought.

Im sorry I didnt hear you

That’s alright, I know that about you, but whenever it happens you startle me.

Im sorry As Ive said a survival skill growing up in a small house eleven when grandma came to live with us  Wha a treasure

            Whats up

I’d ask you. I put the lasagna in the oven. Through the doorway I have been watching you as you read.  Then you laid the book in your lap and stared at the wall.

Only looks like staring baby I donsee anything

Well, if I may, what were you thinking?

Ofcourse Youre always welcome to my thoughts

                                                        Why shoud I suffer them alone

she knelt beside him put her hands on his leg 

                                                 I don’t know suffer is accurate, though you’ve had some real beauts.

You’ve recoiled a few times he saw the expression on her face Youve gently recoiled Havent gone over on your ass your fine ass as it be my applebottom grrl

she smilednodded Nice recovery.

Thank you 

             I was just thinking about the recent billion dollar lottery winner  Obscene  Thinking it ought to be topped off atwha  twohunredfifty million Its only inspiring greed fantasy I think of the kids coming up thinking not of sure things not inspired to work perspiring working hard  rather playing  to win the big one

What made you think of that?

I stopped on the way home to fill the car Found myself waiting behind three others two men an a significantly large woman They by my estimate  were unfortunate unhealthy  They were buying lottery ticketsbuying beer cigarettes sugared drinks  I say lottery tickets lots an lots an lots of lottery tickets

They troubled me 

I was thinkinwonderin wha they must be thinkin whaif they won  You have to play to win Have skin in the game

You think topping it off would help?

                                      I think you’d tick smiled a lot of people off.

Call it a course correction

It helps provide funding for our educational system.

Thaswha it was sold on across America Barnum A suckers born every minute  Wha do you think of our education system I believe it ought to be our primary infrastructure concern I believe it lacks terriblylacking despite the best efforts of many many underpaid teachers

   Our thoughts align.

Thought they might

                     I don know wha topping it off would do although prior to lottery I believe our educationwhen we were kids was superior to todays  Kids were flunked When do you think the last time a kid was flunked their selfesteem  selffestering  more important than their education

I don’t know. 

It incentivised the hell out of me 

                                   But I wasnt a good student   School  Was  Hard 

Youre smiling because it was a breeze to you

I loved school!

Perhaps because you excelled

I can’t say. I don’t know otherwise.

Ifya ever wanna know ask me

You want to know how smart I was and am?

Ifya can legitimately say  Im tickled to hear

she smiled hugely gorgeous dimples  she brightened the whole room

he couldnt help but smile back as big as he could 

There.

There

Yes. 

      Im so smart, I fell in love with you.
