In Lieu of Salutations
“Nice ass!”
he brayed
as I passed him in
the gift wrap aisle.
My jaw jerked
as words aimed at me
splattered onto the back
of the woman
bent over the stroller
parked in front of a jutting crotch
parenthesized by hairy thumbs.
“Not today,”
I offered quietly in a tone
whetted by her red-faced cringe,
“but I’m sure she’s still hoping you’ll evolve.”

Lol... Brazenly blurting out "nice ass!" Makes me think, were it me I'd have to be seeing an incredible, perfect ass to say it aloud (n involuntarily too! lol) otherwise I'd just smile inside
at see a nice one lol. Anyways
this was an outstanding piece
of ink, creating a "you had to be there" scene thru words :)

It was most definitely a moment. Sadly, from the look on his wife's face one that she had been through countless times before. Hopefully evolution will catch up to him one day.
And thanks for the nod...
