the man in the green hat chased the black dog down the deserted street in the rain.
*
later that evening, he returned to the red brick apartment building where the woman in the orange t-shirt was waiting for him on the fifth floor.
the woman in the orange t-shirt’s name was named qsxh zabz, but her friends, when she had any, called her zabby.
did you catch the dog? she asked the man in the green hat, whose name was willie black.
not tonight, he answered. i will try again tomorrow night.
by that time he might be on a tramp steamer to the yellow sea,
he could be. it is hard to predict these things.
he might turn into a dragon and prophecy the end of the universe.
he might. that is enough about the dog for tonight. did anything happen while i was gone.?
you mean, here in the red brick apartment located at 7639 washington-lincoln boulevard, or in the wider world as revealed on the televison set, which could use a tuneup because i can not get channel 954, my favorite?
use your judgment. what was the most important thing that happened while i was gone?
zabbu toojk a sip of her iced chamomile tea. before replying.
frankie lee came by. he said he might have a job for you.
might have a job for me?
that is what he said.
suddenly the building shook.
it must be the dog again.
you do not know that. stop blaming the dog for everything.
if you do not want me to blame the dog for everything, catch him.
tomorrow night. i will try, but i am not promising anything.
