Gone Fishin’
There was a sparkle in her eyes.
The air was crisp, cool, clear.
It was so late that there were no other cars on the highway.
That’s all. Kind of feeble. But that’s the way it was.
I thought I was talking to myself.
I would conquer the world.
I made up my mind then that someday I would conquer the world – don’t ask me what world.
It looked very small and faint and faraway in the dark sky.
But because all of them were looking up, he did too.
Other things that weren’t what they seemed to be.
I began to wonder if there were other things I hadn’t known about.
Your heart beat a little faster. Your breath came a little faster.
I didn’t see anything much.
I read the street signs and I decided to look around.
He was about to ask her what her name was.
Not too much light in the place.
Do you live around here?
What brought you to this end of town at this hour?
He opened his eyes and counted the panes in the nearest of the stained-glass windows.
I love you. All my life I’ve loved you. And always will.
What have you been doing all day, beautiful?
I suppose it’s all in the way you look at a thing.
It’s just the old war between the male and the female.
Never resolved and never will be.
Should I interfere with the inevitable, the foreordained?
I thought perhaps you’d changed your mind.
And you know it. You can’t kid me.
All you need for the rest of your life is a camera.
Is it that they speak in unknown tongues?
I knew that was you before I looked.
He had moved closer to her.
I don’t know what to do, she thought.
People stopped and stared and wondered at the sight.
Nobody had ever known what he meant by it.
Don’t let it go. Keep it there. All right so far.
Hold everything still inside of you.
There were a few stars still in the sky.
Making you jump, startled, because it didn’t belong there.
I’ve got wonderful things to tell you and to show you, listen to me.
During the day lean cats napped in the dense shade.
The signs tell the story of the change.
You’ve lost the right to interfere.
She was accustomed to darkness.
The only thing she could do was to go away and never come back.
Ten minutes’ talk will straighten it out.
There wasn’t anything to work out.
Maybe we can work out something.
Right now she couldn’t even think straight, couldn’t even see straight.
It was inside her head and she couldn’t get it out.
