She teases him with images
from the
past and she knows exactly
what
she is doing though she
feigns – nice word, feign –
ignorance. But he knows
how she is and what she
does and why

any easier, but does, in a way,
warm his heart and soul, for it does
remind him
of
the way things were, which
was
a movie of the 70s, or so,
he remembers. He
never thought,
tho,
he would
star
in
it, even though he does fancy
himself a
bit of
a
Redford.
