Role Play- a Tale Without a Moral
everything was
going good
we both
understood
our characters
but the script
was ad lib
we already had
our clothes
off so it would
be in the
dialogue that
would project
and proffer
what the other was
willing to offer
in this made
up world where
words could
up the
ante
and so she said
she was scantily
clad just in a silk
bra and panties
when she got
the door i was
knocking on
with that this was
the time for my
opening lines
being a pizza
delivery man
with a real fat
belly but fake
abs i said you
called in an all
toppings large
minus the pine
apple what's in
the business
called a
supreme with
everything and
she said yes
she did but
didn't have
any money
for a tip
playing coy but
playing my part
i told her not to
worry never mind
but she insisted
that a tip was
what i would
get as she tried
to lead me inside
but holding true
though she held
my hand trying
to drag me across
the threshold
i said and told her
to let go her hold
that i had other
customers and
that their
pizzas
were
getting cold
and then out of
character she let
my hand go and
said she supposed
she would have to
eat her large alone
and left the room
so with a closed
door in my face
i left that house
and wondered
why the next
door neighbor
complained
about me
being
naked
in my
own
yard
