“What would you like today, Mr. John?” “What I want isn’t on the menu.” “You mean me?” “Give me a shot of mezcal with the worm, dead or alive.” Gloria hovers. “For your information, there are no live worms in our mezcal. Don’t believe what you see in the movies. And we haven’t gotten our liquor license yet. Mr. John, what do you do for fun other than impersonating a bad hombre?” “I write.” My unexpected answer is translated upon traveling from her ear to her brain as “I read.” “We all read,” she replies laconically. She crosses toward the kitchen but stops in mid-walk upon my words, “I write. I studied creative writing in college.” Her boomerang maneuver takes her back to my table. She asks, “Did you graduate from college?” I reply, “Three times.” She asks, “What were your majors?” I say, “My master’s was in library science.” “What system did you study, the Dewey Decimal or the dewy damsel?” Cover Art: Jobyna Ralston & Harold Lloyd Still From Movie Girl Shy 1924 Public Domain
