Come over any time
Mrs Debit said
and don't mind
if David's not here
I’m sure
I can get you
something to eat
or such
ok
I said
walking back
down her drive
wondering what happened
to David
but she said
he was out
so I couldn't stay
that time
but she sure had
a nice manner with her
I thought
stopping at the bottom
of her drive
looking back
at the house
she waved at me
and I waved back
David said
go around the back
if there's no answer
from the front door
and so I did
and there
was Mrs Debit
in her lilac
or such colour bikini
laying there
in the back yard
by the pool
O sorry
I said
thought David was here
he said to come
around back
she sat up
and gazed at me
for a moment or two
O
she said
you must be Benny?
yes that's right
I said
David said
to come around
he was going
to show me his
collection of Elvis records
she smiled
and got up
and walked over to me
O he's had to go out
on an errand for me
and won't be back
until late
she said
I could smell her perfume
from where I stood
or was it sun oil?
I couldn’t decide
you can stay for a bit
if you want
she said
I can get you
something cold
or cool
no I’m ok
I said
backing off a little
finding her figure
kind of warming
maybe I’ll comeback
another time
I said
ok
she said
I was reading
and sort of snoozed off
I nodded
and saw the book
and red hat
by the pool
you stay can
if you wish
she said
if you have swimming gear
you can swim
in the pool
I’m sure I have
a pair of David’s trunks
around some place
no I’m ok
must get back
I said
another time maybe
she said smiling
sure
I said
I'd love that
she closed
the front door
and was gone
I walked back
on home
carrying the image
of her in my head
come over
any time
she had said.
