tall, slender and calm in her way she was a jewel of the Eurasian persuasion it rained that night in August the glare of headlights minced my view a dull thud prompted me to brake her gin-soaked lapel caught my eye ...and that interesting pin or was it her double-breasted suit? I reached for that icon of interest slowly the anticipation of a slap ever present (I guess I'm just a puritan at heart) it was a character of oriental design within its exquisite setting an emerald rested I looked at her face, her eyes were closed she had the look of a child, though middle-aged it was raining harder now I raised her lifeless form up and into my arms I carried her to my car and set her in the seat it was then that I knew something was different it was that emerald the gem was glowing now I cautiously placed my finger upon it and as I did, she moved! her eyes slowly opened and peered into my own her lips gently parted revealing brilliantly white teeth her fingers delicately extended as her arm rose ever so slightly I stared in disbelief at this beautiful creature hypnotized by her seeming resurrection, I sat still as death suddenly then, and without any previous warning at all, Slap! I guess she knew I was no puritan after all I gave her a lift to the morgue and went home to Ma's cooking I thought I'd surprise her with this new emerald pin I bought for her she loves oriental as much as I do maybe more Touch, but don't look |

There are days like that. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |
