Sapiosexual.

               he said it like Amen.

Still harpin huh

I had to tell you what it was. Ain’t harping, I’m crowing.

Beginning to sound like a whine

                                   Said once Im good  I wont forget

I’m just making sure you don’t.

Which is unnecessary

                         I don have memory lapses

You saying I do?

You do

         Thaya have to ask me again and again Sapiosexual? You know it? I nod Yet yasay An besides it wasnt like you were hunting it down it popped up on one of your on-line feeds to your phone Aint where I play no apps Call text send a pic the extent of my cellphone involvement 

                                                     Which youre keenly aware of unless   well  unless youve forgotten

Well . . you might not have known of it unless I said.

Eventually I think  But you did tell me 

                                           Im grateful

What does it mean?

   Seriously  

a wolfish smile spread across his face

                                          Buying time? Seriously.

Someones sapiosexual if a persons intellect stimulates sexual arousal or attraction in them  Thas rote

You’re correct.

I am

        Your turn Curiosexual

You’re making that up.

You got the phone

                     Call my bluff ifya like

What is it?

Wha do you think it is

I . . . think you made it up.

Look it up

            Unless youd like me to say

You could say but then . . you might be making it up.

Possibly

          Looking it up

No. You tell me.

When ones sexuality is uncertain Don know if youre attracted to men or women  or even both

                                                                                                    Or   Or or curious  Rosebud

What’s Rosebud?

Curiously as a boy Citizen Kanes sled Or Hearsts description of his wifes genitalia  Or an anusbecause tha freaks you out or kiwi or Starburst or starkiss Any at all little pucker will do

Jesus!

         I’m looking it up. I don’t believe you.

You do tha

             Im going in to get another drink  You care for another

Yes.

      he was furiously at his phone

reaching the sliding glass door he called to him

                                                   What am I looking up?

he was tempted to say synecdoche  figure of speech in which part is made to represent the whole or viceversa

                        cracked his eyelids dawn lighting  he could see

he sat at the foot of his bed his back to him Chil-a-ma-cho written across the back of his tshirt

Lets play a game  he was being off the cuff

                                                  needed to distract himself

he was invited to a pool partyhadnt expected that a younger woman was coming with her boyfriend hadnt thought shed be as attractive as bodacious as she was and was wearing a revealing twopiece   g-string bottom

she had the kind of ass to pull it off 

                                        was an esthetician   had esthetician friends

YEOW

for whaever reason the party moved inside the house leaving him alone by the pool with her

smartly

        he was in the pool

they made small talk

hit it off

         she said she knew of him through their host who had been threatening a pool party the whole summer

she was the hosts esthetician he enjoyed her giving him facials  manicures

she suggested he might like to partake

he said no

Not manly?

Not only not manly I cantwoudnt afford it   Priceyyah

she admitted it was

he thought then that maybe the conversation was a business pitch things might end there

he was wrong

               gratefully

What kind of game?

Originally I thought strip poker  but youre nearly there

she laughedblushed

                     I didn’t choose to wear this suit, Mike did. He said I’m not going to look like this forever so I ought to flaunt it.  This isn't me.        

Looks like you

her blush compounded

   Colour looks good on you Like the suit

                                              Mike likes to flaunt you

I wouldn't say that.  He treats me wellreally well, and, well, as I said, he picked it out for me.

Ill have to thank him

she laugheddidnt cover her mouth had really sweet dimples matched her personality I think at this gathering you might be the only one who will, as I understand who you are, at least as Jerome describes you.

                                                                                           I have to admit that another reason for coming today was for the opportunity to meet you.

he almost thought it was his turn to blush but withheld it

                                                        Thank you  Thas kind of you

Like you say, or I understand you to say, I’m not kind.

You look kind

Thank you. Actually I’m kinda bitchy . .

   Yes. You get it.

I get it An Im sure your clientele demands it

Yes. They keep me on tenterhooks.

Tha Id like to see

                   Id bet youd look good tied up in knots

There you go. Just as Jerome said.

Said

You’re . . . your delivery is charmingdespite . despite its content. He says you say things he’d never say.

No Hes a nice guy

He is.

          So what game?

Free Association

That is . . .

We say a word the other responds immediately verbalises without censorship whaever it is no matter how illogical irrelevant

Embarrassing?

      No   I am not

Are you a psychologist?

Im nothing

What do you do?

I read

       Youre welcome to ask me what Im reading Ive never identified myself by wha I didall the different things I did  Though perhaps to satisfy you  I can say I eluded a career

                                                                              dated briefly

questioning himself

                     How longs it been since we talked  realised how shabbyCalled

Hey dude!nice surprise.

Been laidup. Three days ago went to the Walgreens to get my CoVid shot and the gal recommended I also get the RSV and Shingle shots.

Whas RSV

I know this . give me a moment . . . Respiratory . . here’s a humdinger . syncytial . .

. . Easy for you to say

I had to think hard.

                      Respiratory syncytial virus vaccine.

   Thas a mouthful good thing its an injection rather than a pillyoud choke on it

Yeah. she laughed  You’re right there.

If it were a pill whaflavor ya think it might be Or woud you prefer

It’s an injection.

If it were a pill  woud it be tasty or taste like assI think medications ought to taste like shit to incentivise us to maintain our health

Sometimes we get sick.

Infected by someone else

Yes.

Incentivise us to have incentivised friends

Really?

Kind of a dog chasing its tail huh

Kind of.

Three shots in a sitting

Yes.

Howd she convince you of tha

She saidinsisted . that’s how they were doing it at Walgreens.

All in one arm

No.

One each in the arm and the third in the ass

It’s Walgreens.

Didya ask

Ask?

Take me in the back an give it to me in the ass

   No.

Thas how Id take it In the ass

                                     he coudnt help himselfno straightface  burst out laughing

Cracking yourself up huh?

                              Pretty suggestive.

Yathink

                 finally she giggled

Thank Gawd

             Was thinking Id never play strip poker with you  Great pokerface over the phone

You’re terrible.

Didnt tha seem unlikely   Odd

I thought it was odd.

But she convinced you

She did, well, not convince me, informed me that’s how they were doing it if someone was having the three shots, saved them from returning again or againanagain

Makes sense

Made sense to me

So

     Did it occur to you tha after she gave you the injections she went back into the Pharmacy an closing the door behind herselfleaning against it began laughing  quietly  gave thumbs up to the staff tha she stuck another sucker three times theyre having a contest among themselves  maybe a pumpkin in the offing for Halloween for the winner

   You’re . .

. . If I was running the Pharmacy Id make it a contest

You cut me off. You’re sick.

No

    I like making work fun  Id bet theyre not but if I said so in any pharmacy in any drugstore theyd be WOWed by the idea

No.

Oh Sorry the clinician laid you up for  three  was it three or just two days
