Crystalline Cool (22)

   
   "Crystalline Cool (22)"
   
   Duncan didn't become united with the Franciscans--in a technical way; regardless, he would pursue his quest to love the Earth and all that does dwell therein, as well as perpetually praying for those in Purgatory's cuffs.  So, the old man asked him:  "Gonna go after Aimee and mate with her?"
   Duncan quoted King Solomon's Proverbs, as it goes, saying:  "A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day.  Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind, or grasping olive oil with your hand."  
   The old Apache laughed; however, controlled the lovely thunder in his belly, vociferously and curiously probing:  "Don't you and Aimee get along?"
   Duncan with:  "Of course.  But people wear masks to get what they want, or keep what they have."
   The old man asked:  "What does your gut tell you?"
   Duncan spoke with wisdom, saying:  "Only trust the head and the heart."
   Then, Dad lit up a monster cigar, puffed his prayers Heavenways; moreover, started laughing with his belly again.  Duncan joined in, the twosome never denying their heritage, yet smart enough to always act in accordance with the merge of humanity.
