he was coming down

                                   and it couldnt have been soon enough

hed been up since

since

            that was a really good question

to be fair 

itd been awhile

he was gassed

a gulp of fresh air would be nice

                                                    tomorrow

to-day

itd be  was to-day

                             Jesus     Awready

he dropped ass on the couch

               blinked

           found the remote

discovered the remote

turned the television on

to whatever had been on last

an immaculate    of course he was    coiffured whitehaired man in spectacles appeared

                                                                                                                                            rambling

not that the gentleman thought he was rambling

articulating his Gods argument for an evangelist television congregation he described as Tomorrows World

God    The Eternal  equals    were interspersed throughout

a real name dropper this one    David  Isaiah  Deuteronomy  Jeremiah

                                                                                                              HA

one line stuck in his ears   it flashed on the screen over a bubbling brook between green banks    perhaps to offer legitimacy in excess of his fine knowing words   and oration

 

I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked  Ezek 33:11

   

he smiled  he could see behind his spectacles the gentleman knew he wasnt wicked

though  probably   if the desk before him were moved from where he sat hed be sporting a hard-on

religious cats had their own garden variety Viagra

he said King David was going to be risen from the dead for this

really  David

he hadnt been on a card since fighting Goliath

the gentleman reeled off Biblical pull quotes  tagteaming them over pacific pastoral images of huge wild animals

big cats jaws agape lapping at their canines with long tongues

and when Tomorrows World came

human beings would wander fearlessly among the animals

David in the Lions Den stuff Gone Wild

the older gentleman was intense  insistent

had a sweet gig

and hed be damned if he could discern when the gentleman drew a breath the words streamed ceaselessly from

his moistened  had to be Vaselined  lips

maybe the circular breathing of a reed player

Time was Coming It was Coming Tomorrows World was Coming

and he had a free pamphlet to share with viewers   Call or write or go online

Tomorrows World was also parceled out through several Social media outlets

they covered all their bases as Great Communicators would

after the gentlemans exhausting pitch

he remained unsold

feeling a little dirty

Christ  he wondered  if there wasnt a lone cigarette laying on the coffee table too

the programme ended 

the television screen went to black

Ah  Snatched from the Jaws of God  The Eternal

then white letters popped nearly blinding him like flashbulbs

The preceding was a paid commercial announcement

Huh   that was reason enough   despite a couple three interventions  they argued with him talking over their whisky beers and wine(drugs) and cigarettes(drugs)

he wasnt giving up his
