“Hi !” Walter
“Hello Persia”. . .
How have you been doing Persia ?
It seems like its been so long since
I’ve last laid eyes upon you.
“Well you know that you have been gone away so long that I’ve almost
forgotten that you wear glasses.”
Persia said. She continued. . .
Your seem a little older now as well,
as if time hasn’t been treating you
with grace .You don’t look well with
an unshaven face.Your hair is far too
long and there’s a sadness in your eyes that seem to plead for understanding. . .
Walter nodded ,Walter was simply
so happy to see Persia again he
retreated from replying and stared
at Persia in disbelief.
But suddenly a sense of more then
recognition had filled him.
Suddenly Walter shook his head
side to side .
He looked at Persia with realization.
He recalled that Persia wasn’t always
the kindest and that she often were
very offstandish and dissuading at
times.
“Persia dear?”,
Please Don take this the wrong way
because I so happy to see you again.
“What is it Walter ,I haven’t got all day,
I haven’t ate any decent meals in a
while .And I am thoroughly exhausted.
“Well Persia I meant to say that you dont look like you have been fairing
that well either .”Well look at yourself,
Your coat its all matted and full of . .
Walter mumbled as he stretched out his hand toward Persia and he didn’t know whether it was lint but he picked it off of Persia’s coat and continued ,”What is that lint ” he said?
“Oh” Persia whined ,Your much to
sharp to outwit me Walter ,Persia
answered .”
Walter hesitated for a moment without taking his eyes off of Persia
and walked to the kitchen pantry .
Fiddling amongst the shelving of canned goods he came across a familiar site .
Quietly Walter Walter crept out of the pantry,still his eyes upon Persia.
Persia eyed Walter with contempt .
“I’m so sorry Persia”,May I offer you a treat in sheer honesty.
Persia looked around the room .She
looked down at her coat.
“Walter,she said”. . .
“Yes Persia?”
It is really cold outside this time of year isn’t it”?
“Oh yes Persia ,that it is.”
Walter stepped aside Persia to a cabinet drawer and slowly pulled it open.
“Walter dear ,”
Persia bemoaned flirtatiously.
“You aren’t thinking of offering what
you have there in that can to me , . .
“Are you Walter”?
After all I have been away so long.
“You are happy to see me aren’t you
Walter?”
“Why of course I am and besides
I was planning on warming up some milk.
“Oooh, exclaimed Persia that sounds
so exotic Walter.”
Walter couldn’t help but smile.
“It does ?” He whispered.
Persia began to purr
“Yes Walter it does!”Persia sighed
,.
Persia jumped off the table and ran over to where Walter was standing and brushed her black matted coat
through Walters ankles.
“Meow” she cried
Walter finished opening the old can of
kittychow he had got from the pantry.
