Jimi sang I didnt mean to take up
all your sweet time(have at it man – you were gypped) Ill give it right back to
you one of these days. . .
he was at the end of his day heading home after a beer
out the plateglass window above the treetopsthe carefully
articulated trees pettily-positioned anally so a turkey vulture sailed
foppishly above the memorial city park like a kite in the hands of a novice
flyer
the day was hotter than
announcedthan forecasted for those who listened or saw
the forsaken walked around
irritated
they cast darker cringing shadows
but he saw it coming because he
wasnt informed by the shapely LA--market weather girls Network broadcasts
whether-stations on-line alerts dumped into cellfones into quickglimpsing eyes
he quit television last century
and didnt buy into social mediadidnt buy into the whoremongering of ones
selfdidnt buy into false notion of celebrity
being someone
he was someone
he didnt have to convince a soul
he liked being dependent upon his
perceptions and they were informed
and finetuned by animals birds and insectsby their instincts they didnt have monstrously big heads
stuffed-to-overflowing with big brains gettin-in-their-eyes
could say he had a croppers
common sense
it was going to be hotter than
what everyone was told or expected so he beat ass over to his storij uoonit(as
his granddaughter wrote on his refrigerator with coloured magnetic letters the time before last when they visited his storage
unit she wrote on the frig that she had an O S E M time – Wha – Grampa I thought you could read English – I thought I
could too What did you write – she sighed deeply as one might if they have to explain the joke they just told a wee bit aggravated It spells awesome – Yes Of course it does Dont know how I missed that)
in route he stopped at Sunshine
Donuts
it was the only donut shop he ever
went when he wanted donuts which wasnt often
Sunshine was owned by naturalised American
citizen(she wasnt naturalised when he meet her while he was trying to find the best donut shop in the neighborhood and beyond and there were lots like Mexican food places it was California)
he found out later that she had been one of tens of thousands
of Cambodian(and Vietnamese) boat people she fled the Khmer Rouge Pol Pots
slaughter fleeing with her husband and two small children the youngest a baby
they were
relocated to the United States
she made him catch his breath
when he considered his life and those he knew
so when he heard White
muthafuckers complaining about immigrants illegal alienswhen these White
muthafuckers wouldntcouldnt physically work a day in the fields picking crops picking
dirt out from between their toes he
thought of her
and when he thinks of her terrorher
unexpected landfall and escapeher arrival in the United States the country where
the Statue of Liberty stands
he also
thinks of those gutless White mouthy gun-toting miscreants
they could suck his cock
actually
make their mouths useful
