He keeps bringing up conversations of the Alpha Male and I smile pondering the thought of what that even means for me Alpha means only the beginning and I'm more concerned before making a choice and using my voice is a happy ending I watch him fly from girl to girl his proximity close always backing them into the corner his smile is all they see he is interesting in all his complexitease he returns to report of his prowess his intentions... how long he can hold their attention with his malaise, of perceptions "the girl from Boston I think I have a chance" "the red head, if all else fails I'll get in her pants" to paraphrase in a nonchalant way I quiz him "What's her name?" "What does she do?" "Where's she from?" "It's Chelsie, by the way, I could hear it from here" is it all for fun? Because for answers he had not one this is no competition we don't share the same goals so he picks up the volleyball and starts another show and just for the record his serve is nearly always out of bounds and always uncontrolled but I like him it's entertaining and on that one day he did urge me to be bold but there are better days and better ways for THAT story to be told... |

Well, I hope we hear more of that story. I like the word invention "complexitease." You have some talent, don't you. Yes, you do. The alpha male always on the attack. |

An Alpha Male may grab my attention, but a nice Big Beta Boy can keep it!  Those who can't ~ Talk! Those who can ~ Do! Oh, and btw, I thought that the word you coined ~ 'complexitease' was clever and cute! Hugs to you, Beta Boy! Linda  |

Very nice insight here into the "alpha male". You captured the way its almost a game to them but didn't forget to say that your goals were different. yep good writing here Yann. Yoin Larry Silverstein bought the Twin Towers 5 mths before 911 bombing. He already owned bld 11. He took out "terrorist" ins on them. He won 500 million. |

I thoroughly enjoyed your creativity! Sometimes I can read a beautifully sounding poem and then ask myself, what did I read? No bout-a-doubt it, this was as clear as a bell to me, ringing and calling for audience. It was a fun read and images will stick! Good job! misce' |
