“Would you go to China for her?” Alma asked him, “yes,” he answered. “Why?” He asked, “Tell me why you ask me,” he asked in almost a whisper, “oh no particular reason”, her answer sounded casual, “tell me, for I want to know?” “Oh, I am just wondering how many times you’re prepared to make a fool of yourself,” Alma answered with a putout tone. “Well, I need to make a fool of myself one more time. I need to do it, so I can say, that I did it in order to find love,” he dragged each word in mock of her, and he looked up to see her face. “Why? So you can have two women, when in fact you cannot take care of one?” She stared at him. Sces understood she was talking about his recent failure to perform in bed. “Yes, its true; two women one from the moment I was born and the other, which I’ve not yet met and both, loved with an equal passion.” Alma had heard this before and did not answer.

I really like the recurring character of Sces, and his line, “Well, I need to make a fool of myself one more time.”
However, this was a bit hard to read. I know your style is writing paragraphs and short poems, however, I recommend that if you use dialogue you start a new paragraph whenever a new speaking starts talking. It would make it a lot easier to follow.
