They  Corporate  fucked with his oldfashioned Bic Cristal

Its myelin sheath

Myelin   Really?

Myelin really

           Possibly more of my thoughts have been enabled and passed through their slender barrels than have sparked an radiated Tesla-coil inside my brain 

                                      But back to black-and-white business

Its myelin sheath is whitened  tip reddened

Not transparent  filled with fredsh blood  

a dire spike  eyeing swollen veins   

copper-tipped  an uncircumcised cock 

                                 a cock a cock-a-doo cock-a-doodle-do cock-a-doodle-do done-did

swerving side-to-side ramming wall-to-wall slipping clit-to-diamond-shaped perineum

AhSounds like a cherry-topped whipped-cream sundae

But I digressBack to businessI dont recognise my Bic

Ive been using one since high schoolI withstood a English teachers challenge over its colour

She said her corrections would be obscure or minimised if we used the same-coloured ink

She refused to grade my paper

I smiled in answer and offered her a black pen

My smile told her she could grade my paper with it

I didnt need to say that her corrections wouldnt be obscured or minimised

She took the pen she took the paper back from me and she said shed look privately into what policy was

Im not promising you anything

I smiled in reply

After class she invited me to meet with her after school in her room

When I arrived she had the black-ink pen I offered her tucked above her left ear  obviously a righty

My red Bic was tucked over my right ear

She said her reading of policy while hunkering down and strongly encouraging black- or blue-ink submissions did not explicitly exclude a paper written in red-ink nor did policy limit the colour ink she might use to grade a students paper often teachers used different coloured inks  red-ink was typically used fast and hard  but they had leniency to grade papers in any colour they wished as long as it was obvious as long as it departed from the colour of their students submission

he smiled Then were cool

Yes  As you say  Were cool

she handed him his paper

she had made no corrections

she made emphases  offered suggestions  acknowledged strengths  encouraged him   but technically there were no corrections

he liked her strong crisp handwriting

since they had been cool he hadnt taken a step back or away from his red Bic Cristal to the consternation of many

what had firmly an inexorably rooted him in his practise

was that at the conclusion of her first year of teaching she lost her job

she was not offered another one-year contract

the English Departments head concluded that her teaching-style was too liberal and her application of curriculum too loose  he considered her deliberate laxity a detriment not only reflecting on the department

but worse and more abject

to her students detriment

he swore to take her awful detriment to his grave

                                          gladly       nonnegotiable
