                                                                 it occurred to him as he showered

after breakfasting on three raw eggs he cracked directly into his mouth as he stood at the kitchen sink looking out  entertaining his backyard and garden and coop

a consideration of fried or scrambled eggs

                                               how they ever got there

fried

      their structure fixedset once and for all  hopelessly non-ever to be a chicken

scrambled

                                                                                                                  a whole something else unable to be concerned with the hopelessness of never being a chicken

he watched the lather from washing his hair sluice turnlazy down the drain

it hadnt been the eggs awareness that appealed to him

                                                          rather

their attractive elastic fluidity

                       his boss

she was on the fourth floor  had a small officecould have had a larger one

it had a bank of windows that looked into the treetops the branches leaves  birds

                                                                                       dark trees like silver in a mirror

they distinctly definitively  reflected the office in their glass

she took it for that reason

                             and for the private bathroom off it

she faced the windows

when seated to meet with her ones back was to them

   the intimacy of the room was intimidating squared cubed  possibly tessersacted

                                                                                       not that he was

he was the joker in the deck that the other execs would have preferredwanted to have lost but she was keen on him

He tells me the truth, no matter.

he didnt prettify it

like him she took her coffee black her whiskey neat

                                                        he respected her

    now

          if only she wasnt so goodlooking

he worked for her for three years

Three years, three months, three days. she said when she called downstairs and told him to come up before he left for the day

Yabetcha boss

he rapped on the solid wood door

                                    she had the hollow one replaced

he couldnt hear beyond it

it SWUNG in

             Katy bar the door  she was imposing  sixfoot  stood before him right hand high on it

I thought you forgot.

No Put to bed a latecomer before heading up Figured you prefer I did not let it linger till morning  I also preferred

Whas up boss

she stepped rightpushed the door wide let him in

entering he said Queer  Always so queer

What’s queer?

You sit with your back to the door

Nobody comes in who’s not invited.

Yah  Theres tha

Pour us three fingers. I’ll be out in a moment.

on the credenza to his left against the brick wall matched her red oak Scandinavian desk was a silver platter a Waterford decanter stopper two Waterford tumblers

                                                        only ever two

as he finished pouring she returned was in arms reach when he turned

she piled her hair into a bun at the back of her head

taking the glass from him she held it in both hands

                                                           Three years?

I said 

        You said three three three

It’s been.

Ifya hadnt said I woudnt have known

                                         Thaswhy youre the boss

The boss.

           I believe . . after hiring you . . . you’ve not called me by my name since.

   No

You know my name.

I do

she moved the tumbler to her left hand their glasses opposite

                                                                     Tell me my name. 

Rianna

Thank you.

              Cin Cin, alla nostra salute.

To your health

they tapped glasses a pretty sound took a sip

Delicious

Redbreast.

Twentyone.

Whas the occasion

You calling me by my name.

Youre funny

I’m serious.

              backpedaling she walked to her desk

he went to go to a chair opposite her

No.

     Here.  she rested her fingertips on a crisp sheet of paper

as he came around the desk she deftly turned it so he could read

when he finished he lifted his head

Rianna

Yes. No more boss.

                     At least, not again, for another week week and a half. If you’re interested. To continue to work with me.

he stepped to herfacing her they were side by side

he halfturned looked out the windows

                                           in their glass he looked at them  Look

she turned her head

her profile was devastating

Look at us.

                                                                                                       he quit looking when he kissed her

she sighed

             she kissed him deeper

he was pretty damn sure their images burned themselvesetched themselves in the glasses memory

                                                                                                          what he saw in them that ensued was burned into his

An  hes off

            said to himself

he wasnt going to interrupt despite hearing it all before

he had a punchline prepared for when he ended

unfortunately they often sailed went over his head

                                                       he didnt explain jokes

preferred climaxes to anticlimatic

So you really can’t size people up without some sort of scale.

he better admit it

                 Wha can I say Im deficient

You really can’t?

thinks hes rubbing proverbial salt into a proverbial wound

I cant

       Not wasting my time

I look at the size of a person’s head. Even if they’re seated I can estimate their height, and from that I can estimate their weight.

Ever thought of working a carnival

You really can’t?

I cannot

Hmm.

        I wonder what that is?

Wonder  Really

You have an idea?

I do

And?

Occur to you your propensity to size up other guys

                                                            he didnt see them  they hadnt wha he wanted

How do you mean?

punchline sailed

                 Nothing  As I said Rianna was seated but she was nicely round where a woman ought to be round

How tall?

Go to the library Shes a librarian Ive not seen her before she has a name badge just above her right breast

                                                                                                                 It kinda stares at the ceiling

Does it occur to you how readily you are to impart genius

they were discussing physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton he was reading her book Before the Big Bang about the Multiverse

            when taking her physics final she determined there was a shortcut to what her professor had taught he thought audacious Professor Bardulla after synthesising her solution warned her “Never, ever do this again. Never try a new method or a new solution in an exam. . . . If you get it wrong, you fail. . . . At least with known solutions, you can get partial credit.”

                     she was correct

That’s genius!

Its not She broke with orthodoxy  She recognised there was another way to the same solution  A shortcut

                                                                                                                 Jaywalking

A shortcut rather than walking to the end of a block an crossing at the corner

Not genius

But she taught her professor a new way.

A novel way

             Who knows how long hed been circulatingutilising tha problem  Novel is not genius

   I disagree.

Which youre welcome to

That’s it?

Wha

You’re not going to argue your point, provide a defense?

Defence

          Are you defending rote  Learning by repetitionreflex rather than really understanding the subject matter

When you understandwhen you have turned the problemthe question round an round over an over truly examined it

Sometimes cracks appear in the logic

 

Unquestioned

               Cracks unseen

Novel

When you read the book make your own assessment
