Doctor God

Doctor God

                   I wasnt quite sure I heard him right I had already walked past him he was at my back

he muttered

                   but I was quite taken astonished  I felt  I felt I needed to hear from him if I heard him right or incorrectly

I turned and walked back

--   Excuse me

--   Yes

--   I didnt mean to   I cant say I was interloping  obviously youre alone by yourself  but if I may  did I heard you correctly when you said

Doctor God

--   You did

--   Hmm

--   I agree its worth a hmm  Though  probably worth hundreds thousands tens of thousands of hmms  If I conflagrated it even more Id be ridiculous

--   Did you coin it

--   Who coins anything any longer  A monkey at a typewriter might have coined it  Ive heard tell that with enough time a monkey  a chimp  personally Id like to think a bonobo  could randomly type the Bible

Theyre more peaceful  I believe

Am I correct

--   Ive only recently heard extended talks about bonobos  though I believe you are correct  I believe chimpanzees are considered more   aggressive

--   I wonder if you sat a human being down at a typewriter  given enough time  if they could write the Bible

word for word

--   I think a human being would be prejudiced 

Human beings are that

Probably the Old Testament word for word

But  if I may  if we could return to your   conjecture

Doctor God

--   It wasnt a conjecture  An admission

Ha  An ejaculation OH God

Doctor God

Sounds like a superhero  a comicbook hero  or character

A turtlenecked  or whitecollared freak trodding the night streets of Gotham or Second City

before LA became the legitimate Second City by population

All that weights gonna help it fall off into the ocean

Though I cant imagine a superhero in LA

All the costumes are being worn

--

--   Cat got your tongue

--   That was quite a barrage  I was trying to keep up

You gave me more than a bit to gnaw on

 

Digest

--   Sometimes its best just to swallow

Ive heard tell

Look around us

People are swallowing it all the time

You hear what White House aides did

If you didnt   its precious

I forget the gathering  the President was to speak to the Press the Media  They had nameplates to assign where News Sources were to sit

  

Major media mind you  NBC News  CBS News  CNN News           wait for it               

                                                                                                                                                  Fox

As I said  people swallow shit all the time

And worse 

                   they dont even know it

Whoever thought that street corner tabloids supermarket checkout trash would ever reach the airwaves  Somebody drove a spike through the heart of the Seal of Good Practice and cut off its head 

--   Youre not suggesting I swallow yours  are you

--   Comon  You dont strike me someone to swallow anything unless youve chewed it to bits

No I dont

--   Good  That affirmed  tell me more about your Doctor God

--   Doctor God  Sometimes some things just fall in your lap  out of the sky  and theyre yours

Aint nobody gonna try and wrestle it from you  And you cant give it away either

  

Evidently he found out in real short order where the rest of the staff fell

Theyll take the blind affirmation of sinning and confessing tithe lighting votive candles offering penance  but try and spin that around  take down a mantle you didnt make

NADA

Hemingways Nada prayer

--   What fell in his lap

--   A Swift tethered Gulliver  Lilliputians burden to bear 

Should have had the ambulance keep on going 

                                                                            Nothing to see here 

 

Calling Doctor God  Calling Doctor God! 

Why not call Doctor Moe Doctor Curly Doctor Larry

 

The patient was a picture of health  except he was comatose

                                                                                                   Comma – toast 

a pause a respite a Modern Day Rip Van Winkle maybe a Sleeping Beauty waiting on a kiss from a prince

Anyone kiss him yet  Anyone?

I suppose it couldnt hurt 

                                        not for what medical science couldnt do for him

Vitals  Labs  A picture of health

                                                   that couldnt be wakened up

--

--   Same old cat got your tongue

--   So   staff was calling him Doctor God

--   I think   I think  that was my moniker   
I brayed Doctor God

Man is an incomprehensible animal

Somebody also said that  Im sure

--   Yes  That I think someone else did say

Though not an improbable comparison

My apologizes

                        Your words fell in my ear and got the best of me  Thank you for allowing me my curiosity

It was a revealing  interesting conversation

--   Worthy of the Seal of Good Practice

--   Yes

Worthy of the National Association of Broadcasters  even if they dont abide by their Practice any longer
