The fuck  he says I protest too much I ought to listen to him he says
he implores me frankly  a wet shining in his eyes            

Because among everyone 
                      he knows his ass from a hole in the ground


Such a convincing stirring revelation huh                   
                                  like being nudged up tight against someone who exalts themselves attractive or sexy  missing out on the fact that its not their call to make




Oh Dr Fuck says I
                then ya can help me yasee  yasee  if I see a film where in it or wherein  yerda doc yadecide
a film where a priest gets plugged in his pretty confessional by a phony penitent a repenter a humourless gunman paid blood money who inadvertentlyOops also punches the ticket of a kid in a pew  Aw poor baby  In the wrong place at the wrong time             

Life can be that simple 

It never bears regret


And saying so 
             if I were a voting member of the Academy  an I dont vote  Id have its back among the Best Motion Pictures of the Year

No nonoDr Fuck  no blanching

sputtering he says   You approve of the murder of a priest and an innocent child 

says I
       Murders murder
Draw a straw
Pull a stick from out of a fist       

Attempting to elevate someone above being murdered is farce  The odds are long unless ya put yerself in Harms way an Harms habit is to treat everyone badly if ya get in its way  If it happens murders murder its random violent cuffs one up alongside the head who tries to dare an find reason or wants to rationalise it



Dr Fuck says I
             letus also talk about peckerwoods who unsolicited spout  Not on my watch

By what authority their sudden remonstration their declaration My Watch acting as if they caught a malicious kid with their mitt in the cookie jar an apparently just militaristic enough to assume they have any authority over anyone else when to manage their own affairs ought to be a fulltime job without paid ten-minute coffee or cigarette breaks

like the inevitable sargeant
                       Attention Private  You volunteered

Sir  I did not  Sir

Private  If I say you volunteered you volunteered

Sir  I did not  Sir  You can order me  Sir  But then I can weigh my decision of whether or not to follow your order  Sir
To volunteer  Sir  is to explicitly and willfully act of my own accord  Sir


That private aint going far in that Mans Army eh Dr Fuck




he shaddup long enough to light a smoke




says I
       Can you guess Doc or maybe should I tell ya of my last purchase  Yaknow me tight with a buck pennypincher Ill try an squeeze blood from a rock

Ya confessed ya know your ass from a hole in the ground
                                              And thats a very fine thing  Ya wont be sticking yer foot in yer ass tripping over yerself falling face down in the dirt an gravel an brushing mire from yer knees
Fine thing

Tell me whacha make of this


I had a dream

I dreamt I had too many parcels to carry at once

So it occurred to me if I dropped em in a blender and pureed em theyd be easier to carry an then arriving wherever it was I was to arrive I could spill em out sort em there


I dont want my dreaming self to think it can manipulate me 


So I bought this blender Doc

Top O the Line  Brand New and Improved  Supposed to be Best of the Lot

Into it(ha intuit) I dumped my dreamed things all the bees the crazy mechanical queens wired like tungsten lightbulbs the flickering black bees that could sting again and again without dying ornate long boats Inian canoes decorated with tribal banners Pacific fish and stylised whales fluttering keer flags an butter candles red English double-decker buses filled with ladies and gentlemen dressed in finery and pleasured by insatiable anything-goes Asian whores kimonoed sensual wearing white-painted faces inked jetblack eyebrows arched by an Eternal Question an nothing more 

An if that werent kicker enough
                          I gathered all the shimmering billboards I saw they were nothing more than enormous flatscreens shuddering with images pitching This and pitching That and in-between Them a woman I seemed to recognise not that I could place her hair pulled back out of her face a fine fine European face unblemished a long narrow nose her face came onto the screen always in profile from the left often lined by shadows cast in sepia by clandestine light coming through unseen blinds I would imagine an then from the screens right entered a erect cock and right there on street corners above long boulevards marbling an illuminating plateglass fronts of malls roiling on the reflective seagreen tiled walls at thresholds leading down wide staircases into the subway she took the cock in her mouth often gagging her taking its discharge and then weteyed a slender finger painted nail at the corner of her lips gently smearing lipstick onto her cheek  as she recedes left until she disappears the spent cock flaccidly droops from view



So it goes Doc
            it all goes into the blender I dump it in an shake the exhaustion out of my arms
Im grateful once its pureed an I can easily carry it 



So whaya make of it Doc 



Whaya make of it He-Who-Knows-His-Ass-From-A-Hole-In-The-Ground





Ya got nothing duya






he sighed  he got up off the couch  he walked over to the door 

he turned to where the doctor sat  Dont  I mean it  Dont try an collect anything on this visit


he went out the door   gently snugging it shut behind him he exhaled I dont need no doctor

bowled over in toto



he almost bowled her over coming out his front door scared the shit out of them both in a stark sudden stunning eye-to-eye face-to-face her hand raised to knock his head nonchalant lowered mechanically yanking the door open
to exit the apartment

a body in his way  he stabbed his foot to the linoleum threshold halting his bolt and compelling inertia

she nearly screamed in surprise though caught it in her throat  an feral intimation  a wicked purr
JESUSCHRISTexcuse me No ones ever at my door

No Not that Ive ever seen



Excuse me Youve ever seen

Yes

Queer response Awkward

Ahyes Awkward

That youve ever seen
Figured if I had a guardian angel itd be beefcake  not beauty

Oh no      I mean I   I  I dont know what I mean



Alright 
he stepped back away from her  suffice not to intrude on her space  affording himself room to size her up
Can I help you
she was young attractive ought to be wearing a bra under her embroidered muslin blouse its coloured stitching nearly aligned to secret her bits faded blue jeans holey from wear flat leather sandals bright face bright green eyes freckles sunstreaked auburn hair pulled up in an unconstructed ponytail

Help
No
I dont think help captures it

Captures what

Im here on your invitation  As you said

I said

Listen baby I say a lot of things   though I cant say I remember saying anything to you

Yes  You said I remember you said I should come by and see you when I was legal You said be sure I had two pictured IDs  Two forms of identity You said  I remember 


Huh I may hate to say this  but that does sound like me

It does                                      

Dont rub it inBut whats that have to do with anything

You invited me then  Im here now

I   I     Would you like to come in

Is now bad timing You were going out

Nothing that cant keep or urgent  Im curious where thisll lead


Me too

Ive thought about it often

Well the thinkings over

It is  Its nice to hear your voice again Its exactly as I remember . . .

. . . Long memory  Youre remembering more than me

I was always listening though  Your voice is exactly the same  I listened when you talked out by the pool hung on your every word

Then youd do laps Up and back up and back Once I tried to count how many you did but I lost count

I often did  Caught up in my flying reverie  Here the pool at the complex  Here

Yes here   I usually sunbathed while you swam  It didnt seem to bother you that I was at the adult pool

I remember  You rarely got in  Got in to cool down I remember   Your suit definitely wasnt a swimsuit

No it wasnt

No   It was not   A string bikini top and a thong

AwHow sweet for you to remember  So you do remember me

Hard to miss you  You were precocious

I wasnt precocious

Physically precocious

Wellyes  Physically   But then you only saw me at the pool  I was only like that at the pool when you were there
Our apartment overlooked the pool  Though to overlook the pool wasnt really necessary
You were like clockwork on weekends

I missed you when you stopped coming

When the pool wasnt for adults any longer

Thats when you stopped

Yes   Cant swim at a swimming pool when kids are throwing themselves in playing  Would you like a seat
Something to drink juice water

Water please

Ill join you

Im not keeping you

No youre intriguing me  I said it would keep  Trust me if it didnt we wouldnt be talking


I trust you


I like that  Would you like ice

No thank you

Good  A girl after my own heart

he brought tapwater in Mason jars

As I was saying I couldnt swim laps Thats why I went to the pool To swim


No
No  You wouldntve been able to swim  It became a zoo  Couldnt complain about the noise during the daytime
Kids playing screaming shouting

You didnt play and shout

I stopped going when you stopped showing


Still   I dont remember saying that to you

You did  One evening  You were sitting pool side with a friend  Having a beer  I played a trick on your friend
It wouldnt have been funny if I tried to play it on you  You didnt fit the part and that made it funnier that it was

He was doglike wolfish eying me when I came down to the pool 

He made me selfconscious


You never in all the time you swam made me feel selfconscious 

It seemed you  this will sound weird you appraised me  You found me attractive  You acknowledged me
You were respectful

In a word meat   You didnt make me feel like meat

Which it  it made the joke on your friend funnier because of my meatishness


Frank arent you

I am

Do you remember the joke  the joke I played on your friend

Yes  As a matter of fact I do

Thats when you told me to come see you when I was legal  Two forms of pictured IDs


Three years ago at least  With all the things going on in your teen life with teen friends I was a teen Those were nuts-years Making everything up as you go along I dont think your teen years would be incredible different from mine

Except

Except

Yeah   Except     Except a much earlier intrusion of a harder reality fashioned by the difference between our relative technologies

True that

ChristTrue that  Shortcut lingo    Man

So how did you remember and I didnt  I got good memory

I remember from my diary

Diary

Yes
she opened her fringed bag purse and pulled out a Moleskine

I wrote it in my diary

Very cool you kept a diary

I keep a diary  Nins a hero

You know Nin

I do

I got books by her in my bookcase

I noticed while you were getting us water  Lotsa books  Lotsa art  Looks like a museum
I like your bones  Lotsa bones


Thanks  Your diary


Yes  You know what I titled my joke on your friend

You title your entries

No  But it deserved a title dont you think

Oh I think  I remain intrigued curious  Talk The floors yours

she tapped the throwrug with the soles of her sandals  slipped them off  then rubbed her feet back and forth on it
Huhmm  The floors mine

Run with it

Well get to your IDs in a moment

she laughed and her laughter peeled off into her pronouncement of her diarys entry title  
I called it
         Jailbait and Switch

Jesus  Thats sensational

Right

I thought I was a genius  I titled it even before I wrote the entry

Does it really go  Dear Diary

No

My diary has a name that Ill not share

Ill admit I surprised myself when I put her in my purse this morning and I brought her with out into the light of day out of her space from between her other selves her sorority  Ill never be in one A sorority of one a dear imagined confidante   Ill never have a flesh and blood friend as close as she is to me


Jailbait and Switch


I wont read it exactly as I wrote it   Ill relate retell the evening

Why jailbait and switch

If youll remember  despite it almost sunset I came down in my suit  A wrap over it

It didnt wrap much

No
I suffered his eyeballs because I wanted to please yours
You knew it was a show  didnt you

No  Recall I called you precocious  This lent itself to my perception of your precociousness

Gosh  If I was as precocious as you thought me then

I only had snippets and snippets like generalising are weak mistaken  However I had only broad brushstroke to paint you  Which is why I said precocious  More so I used it to define by your physicality which was out front and in full regalia

Regalia  Nice word  I like it
Maybe if you called me regal rather than precocious . . .
. . . We didnt know each other  Such a friendship wouldnt have gone over well

If I were a boy . . .
. . . Not if you were a boy  Children do not mix with men and men dont mix with children and before you get your pants in a knot because I can see it in your face the simmering right behind your eyes in them I dont mean it as an affront
I mean it because it had to be and otherwise would have been inappropriate

But you were inappropriate to say come see me when youre of age  Two picture IDs

I was  But then you were precocious  And it certainly played well in the gist of things

It did  Youre right  It did
It was pretty funny

It was very funny  And youre right it was funnier because it happened to Bobby was lavished on Bobby
Married since he was sixteen

Oh Im sorry  I didnt know that

Not as sorry as he  Though you might have prickedexcuse me a little something in him that night  His marriage broke up later not that you were the cause but maybe the  now here I go with genius  the impetuous impetus  

Ha genius   I cant imagine
He was married only a year older than I was at the time

Married  And had a child

Oh my god

Can you imagine that

No  I would have aborted  Id abort now

Not a good Christian girl

Religion hasnt a place determining my sexuality body my belief in myself

In this neck of the woods which Im sure youre aware knocked up IS baby on the way  This community and its surroundings would pillory a girl who thought otherwise  After all boys will be boys they response to their Godgiven sexuality whether theyre duped or seduced by a salacious . . .
. . . A teenage seductress . . .

. . . Or younger



Jesus



Were getting off point  Bobby as you said was the perfect fallguy He didnt mind falling for you

He didnt did he

So what does your diary say about jailbait and switch  What exactly did you mean

He fixated on my breasts duh  so fixated he didnt listen to the story my words  hence bait  and the switch was the joke itself

I wouldnt have been able to pull it on you

No  Not with a cigarette butt and nail polish as propsNo

No  Though you listened to my tale

To be fair it was the first time Bobby ever laid eyes on you and Bobby I dare say hadnt been in the presence of youthful beauty or garnered attention deliberately lavished on him 

You lavished him

Dont say it like that  I didnt ravished him

Youre quick You followed It was as near to ravishment as Bobby would know  He was damn near goofy in his obedience his acquiescence

You think

I think a puppy for his bone

Bone

I said bone

Okay

Yes Continue

You recall I had him make a fist and then I tried to finger it coming in from on top and explained how he had to relax so I could fit inside him  I kept telling him to relax relax as I kept fingering his fist slipping my finger into it again and again

You were emphatic

I was Jailbait
He didnt hear a word of it  Utterly fascinated

Utterly  Stop it
I thought when you produced the stripped cigarette filter he might wonder where you were going with it
I was flummoxed

Then I gentled the filter into the hole in his fist and fingered it deeper and deeper into his hand
Grunting  And sighing

And emphatic
I didnt miss your emphasis yaknow  And you didnt miss I was watching you either


I wanted you to look

Then in a frenzy of fingering I swapped my finger for a capful of fingernail polish

And gasped

I did gasp  I thought despite never having sex my gasp was perfectly time

Pitch perfect  Though your laugh was like a cruel splash of ice water 
Then Bobby opened his hand to your Look see I came


Had you ever seen that trick before

Not before  And not since

Not since you saw me last

Not since I saw you last




the room grew very quiet  quieter than even beyond the cessation of their talking
their cogs and gears marvelously oiled 
                                whirling soundless


she closed her diary

sat holding it in her hands   they faintly trembled
she didnt say anything


neither cleared their throat

                       feeling they were cigarette filters sensuously packed into someone expectant fist
uncharacteristically  he   low in his throat     said

                                             About those IDs
