โ€œDARLENE, LOOK, there're 2 young lovers ******* in the dark.โ€
โ€œ*******? Don't you mean kissing?โ€
   โ€œWhat'd I say?โ€
   โ€œ*******.โ€
   โ€œNo thanks, I've already eaten.โ€
   โ€œYou meant park, right?โ€
   โ€œNo I didn't.โ€
   โ€œI don't care for your brand of fun. I say no thanks to it.โ€
   โ€œDarlene listen. When's the central government going to show
the passionless resentment, or resolve, that'll lay claim to the
unseen problems inherent in my life?โ€
   Darlene just sat there: so dumb, so beautiful. It seemed that she was unconcerned, disconnected, lost in Darlene World. Perhaps a rattle snake stuffed into her underpants would stir her? It's worth a try. I'd be willing to give it a go.
   โ€œLook over there Darlene!โ€ I'd say to which she'd reply:
โ€œDo not stuff a rattle snake into my underpants.โ€
   โ€œOkay, if that's what you don't want me to do then I shall abide by your wishes, besides, I've got more important & exciting things to do than stuff a rattle snake into your underpants.โ€
   โ€œLike what?โ€ She'd ask.
   โ€œLike plenty of things,โ€ I'd say, although I'd be
unable, or perhaps unwilling, to list any.
   โ€œCould it be that you have nothing better to do than stuff a
rattle snake into my underpants?โ€ She'd ask intuitively.
   โ€œNo! That's not it at all. I love you
Darlene. Can't you understand that?โ€
   She looked at me penetratively, her underpants snakeless.
โ€œAnd I love you. Let's find some way to express our newly-
discovered  fondness for one another without you stuffing
a rattle snake into my underpants.โ€
   โ€œMaybe, but I still might do it for kicks you know?โ€
  โ€œWell, sure, as long as you know the difference. ---
Is that your niece? What's she doing with that *****?โ€
   โ€œOh, him, I think he's determined to make her pregnant.โ€
   โ€œThat's wonderful!โ€ Darlene proclaimed as we
were all negroes so it didn't mean anything anyhow.
