"Amazing", the readers, they thought
after one meeting, one message

the gears began to turn
a plan that was forming
in the velky (large) foreign man

His thoughts for his next dialogue,
Preparing for their next conversation

"Maybe you should think about moving to Texas"
"to return to your best friend"
"Have you ever thought of leaving Prague to get away from your ex?"
"Do you think that Prague is the best place to raise children?"
"My friends are like family, which is more important?"
"Where and what is the best place for you, a family?"

he was thinking to, towards, the displaced Czexan
after one coffee meeting
planning a future together
with a newly divorced woman???

"You MUST be joking", the readers and audience, spoke, "too fast too fast!".
But these are important questions

"for the story, of course, for the story.
for the story... of COURSE", the scribe subscribed.
He sluffed off,
speaking to himself
with an air of nonchalance

He'd never admit the truth, the plan, the appeal
these are questions of his own, pondered, with zeal

No, the truth is, he isn't living his life for a book
for the story, for a play, for an effort to be more interesting

He's just a man trying to write for a friend
for himself
for love
for life

So, its just a hypothesis,
An interesting possibility,
an interesting and beautiful woman
a midst interesting coincidences
as the world turns...

And that could be any of us. Personally, I'm a fan of interesting possibilities.
