THAT MUCH EASIER.
Mrs Parton said
come on round
my husband's out
for the day
and won't be home for lunch
so Baruch went around
on his afternoon off
forsaking the relaxation
of listening to Delius
forgoing two glasses of wine
and a closed eyes
lie down on his bed
he visited Mrs Parton instead
walking up her street
eyes behind curtains
watching him he supposed
she opened her door
and let him in
there
she said
sit on the sofa
and hey take off
your jacket
so he took off
his jacket
and she laid it
on an armchair
a dog barked nearby
o pay him no mind
that's just Brownie our mutt
I locked him outside
o right
Baruch said
looking up
at the window
across the room
where the sound
came from
you want a drink?
she asked
yes ok
he said
I'll get you one later
she said
and she leaned into him
and kissed his cheek
he felt it and sensed
the passion behind it
but didn't expect it
after all
she was 40
to his 28
( why did I come
around? he mused)
she leaned back
and gazed at him
her eyes hawk-like
taking in
his uncertainty
don't look so surprised
she said
after all
you did come around
yes
he said
of course
she kissed him
on the lips
and shut out
any more words
he might have had
he closed his eyes
tried to remember
a bit of Delius
some aspect
of his music
to make sense
of his moments
their lips parted
she placed a hand
on his upper thigh
moved it to his crotch
(Mrs Cleves would have
got him at this stage
of operations a scotch)
his eyes lit up
his pecker stirred
I can sense movement
in the jungle
she said
how about here
on the sofa
I don't want to
on the marital bed?
Baruch tried to calm
the pecker
attempted to think
on higher things
are you sure?
he said
right now?
why waste time
she said
and proceeded to
lift up her skirt
and take off
her underwear
he sat
with an uncertain stare
come on
she said
let's get on
before the kids
get home from school
school?
he muttered
yes they'll be home
in an hour or so
she said
she lay back
and pulled him
close to her
he fiddled to undress
thought of how
Mrs Cleves
would have got him
nigh on hooked on
***** first
before she pounced
he lay on her
(Mrs Parton)
his lips touching hers
but the pecker
wouldn't stir
it lay slumped
like a drunk
come on
she said
don't you want to?
I do but Percy doesn't
he said
Percy?
she muttered
he pointed downwards
o
she said
her voice
indicating disappointment
maybe I was too rushed
she said
maybe
he said
and sat back down
on the sofa
and she sat up
how about a drink?
that might stir him
she said
ok sure
Baruch said
she walked off
towards the kitchen
he sat studying the room
he put away his pecker
zipped up the fly
the mutt barked
the sound of a bottle
being uncorked
a voice singing
he thought of Mrs Cleves
**** naked
on the rug
19 years his senior
but my God
he thought
she made it all
so much easier.
