I went to meet a friend of mine after college today. I had no intention of going until an hour ago.
I had run into a mutual friend of Marks & mine in the corridor. Lisa was, as yet, unaware of what had happened between us guys. She is the type of girl that chattered without abandon. Reckless abandon. She is so secure and protected that it never occurred to her that politics- even on an individual basis - could ever hurt her. Socially ignorant without the awareness to change and the foresight to be apprehensive.
-One day that mouth will get her into trouble, I thought as I waited for something relevant to rise up from the chatter canyon.
''Mark is back from Africa'' She told me excitedly. She studied my face as she expected a reaction.
''Oh.''
The shadow that flashed on her face indicated she did not get the reaction she had expected.
-Had my face tightened? Had she reflected the shadow that flashed across my face first? Fuck, so what?
''I thought he had swanned off for good this time. Has he become as black as the rest of them?''
Silence.
The vitriol wasn't out of place coming from my mouth; rather, it was unexpected to be concerning Mark. 'Precious Mark', in her mind. In reality he was precious in the same way as the unexpected moment your bikes crossbar grinds into your groin. Ground-up goolies, as my friend Jim had called them.
''Wow Joe, that is a bit off; coming from the guy who was indulging his asian fetish all summer''. Her forced chuckle that accompanied the ribbing sat uneasily in our ears.
-I wondered if the fact my Asian fetish was well known rankled with her; Lisa is second generation Chinese. This thought was superseded by an interesting question.
-Do fat people's chuckles always sound genuine? Does it come naturally or is the fact they have had so much practice?
As a squash player myself, I headed straight to the grey block gym, holding the main training squash court. The squash court was the generic court found in any generic college. Single glass wall, cheap stepped and backless seating. The court- and its seating- was tucked away beside the sports bar and looked upon by a row of exercise bikes. You can be sure that the 2X4 you are using as a seat supported the muddy Doc Martins of Rick the college retard at some point. While waiting for him I lazily dissected the players' skill level in front of me. Beginners class, no less.
-Shit.
-Shit.
-Nice body... still shit though.
Music blared suddenly. The spinning class above us had another session to do- pedalling furiously to the sound of Queen.
''Tie your mother down.''
''Tie your mother down.''
Mark arrived. The slow realisation that fought its way from his brain to the front of his face betrayed him and I knew he didn't suspect my presence in the sweat-soured scent of the gym. He stood stock still. His slim figure reminded me of a deer. His sandy and already thinning hair that was always combed down made him seem unsure of his next move.
-Had Samson already been delocked?
''Joe!''
''Hi Mark. It's been a while''
''How...''
The question hung like a drunk balloon between us. It didn't need to drift any further- I already knew where his question was going.
''Tie your mother down.''
''Tie your mother down.''
I also knew my answer but I let his mind labour under the fog confusion a moment longer.
''Lisa.''

You're dead right Acarnis; it is a triviality. My heart didn't want to take the piece any further... if that makes any sence(though I doubt it).

I keep my balloons in a Ziploc in the cabinet so they don't steal my booze.

Would be better if you said "after class"...
So mind expounding on this piece? What meaning does this have to do with Lisa?? It seems like a creatively-written triviality. Is that all it is?

Under Oathmeal: I finish College on a daily basis. I am pretty sure the syntax was correct to say I finished college.
I am open to suggestion though.

I came into the room which was dark for this time of year. The fall lit the air and the ball was about to begin.
You were there in your black socks and tiny sandles that said, "I like to play hockey a little more than the next man."
Then a grain of sand dropped from the sky and I pronounced my love for the one true abyssal recruit.
AAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Then silence fell and I was reborn.
