β€œDARLENE, LOOK, there're 2 young lovers ******* in the dark.”
β€œ*******? Don't you mean kissing?”
   β€œWhat'd I say?”
   β€œ*******.”
   β€œNo thanks, I've already eaten.”
   β€œYou meant park, right?”
   β€œNo I didn't.”
   β€œI don't care for your brand of fun. I say no thanks to it.”
   β€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?”
   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.
   β€œLook over there Darlene!” I'd say to which she'd reply:
β€œDo not stuff a rattle snake into my underpants.”
   β€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.”
   β€œLike what?” She'd ask.
   β€œLike plenty of things,” I'd say, although I'd be
unable, or perhaps unwilling, to list any.
   β€œCould it be that you have nothing better to do than stuff a
rattle snake into my underpants?” She'd ask intuitively.
   β€œNo! That's not it at all. I love you
Darlene. Can't you understand that?”
   She looked at me penetratively, her underpants snakeless.
β€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.”
   β€œMaybe, but I still might do it for kicks you know?”
  β€œWell, sure, as long as you know the difference. ---
Is that your niece? What's she doing with that *****?”
   β€œOh, him, I think he's determined to make her pregnant.”
   β€œThat's wonderful!” Darlene proclaimed as we
were all negroes so it didn't mean anything anyhow.
