The Absent Diva
-Just needed toilet valve.
-Yeah? I used to be a plumber in the old country.
-Oh?
-It's a new profession there even yet.
-That a joke?
-A lame one.
-Will I get to see...?
-She's not here. Argentina or someplace. If she sweeps in
with hairdresser and assorted fruits, you'll know.
-Is she really a diva?
-When she has a man, yes. When not, it’s worse in a way:
she's the brutalized child from Rahway mostly.
-Anyway, I like her music.
-Most do. I'm lukewarm.
-Wouldn't say that to her face!
-I say a few things there, but never that.
-The office'll send a bill.
-And I'll pay it, which is the right and proper thing to do.
-Well, I got another call.
-To aid a bottom less rarefied?
-Something like that.
