Catching Up with an Old Friend


Part 2

He says:
“Have you found a girlfriend yet, Bulletholes?”
“Yeah, kind of. A few months back. I’m in love. She’s sexy and pretty, and we dance and spend every minute we can together, and she thinks I’m so smart. But right now we are kind of broke up a little.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, I told her we had to stop having sex for a while, that our arrangements really weren't quite working for me, and that we would just be friends for a while. Just lovers...without all the lovin'.”
“Really?” one eyebrow raised “Where is she tonight?”
“Oh, she’s home with her husband”
“Really?” Both eyebrows raised now “She’s married?”
“Yep!”
“Well, buddy, there is some serious Karma that comes with something like that.”
“What do you mean? I’ve done the right thing here.”
We both laugh.


I don’t think Karma always works the way we might expect it to.
And ya like who ya like.

"Better to have stayed in the garden" yes, girl, you cracked me up there!
It also reminds me of the liner notes from Dylans album "Desire":
"I have a whole lot of Karma to burn"

instant karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you off your feet
yeah I did this and it took a toll on my marriage and I don't think the guy has recuperated either. three years later, my husband is still shook up and I gained a bunch of weight. Three way loss. In retrospect it was a midlife crisis.
I thought somehow at the time that we were different, special, but turns out we are all just like everyone else in this scenario and we all are subject to karma.

Kim, I appreciate your comments. I don't know how long this will go on, but I sense the longer it goes on the worse it will be.

true that. My sis sez it takes half the length of the relationship to get over it. I don't think that math is right--I think it takes twice the length and unlike the neatness of math, there are exceptions: sometimes you never recuperate
