he was readinghe was always readingwalking and reading reading this reading that a fucking voracious readeralways was  he joked seriously he owned enough books that theyd be plenty to make a funeral pyre and reduce his bodyeven his femursthe largest bones in a human body to grit bypassing any need of running his remains through a cremulators steel ballbearing or rotorblades think blender

                                               he was reader

an adjutantobviously to his addictionreading had been the library

the library today is a different place than when he was a kid  the card index is long gone  shit was online  when he applied online for particular books or material and they were unavailable he made a point to walk over to the towns library and question the librarian why what he was looking for wasnt available  just to make sure that the librarythe crucible of knowledge hadnt devised a kind of censorship  often books he read were questionable  or inflammatory

or erudite  Johnsoneselook it up 

while reading When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir he found in its pages the mention of Spike Lees 2000 film Bamboozled which he hadnt seenhe was too damn busy then for entertainment  he wondered if he could get a copy through the library

going online he entered Search: Phrase: Bamboozled

the program asked: Did you mean Bombycillidae?

yahwhaddafuck 

HOW did Search know that he meant bombycillidae whats that  sounds like a disease HOW did Search know that he really wasnt interested in a satirical movie of a greasepaint blackfaced black mens minstrel show

Comon Search throw up your nonhands and admit NOdont offer me an option  worse an absurd option  B – o – m is not B – a – m

Bombycillidae  Genus  a bird a waxwing  a passerine bird  which means its feet are adapted for perching

just like his feet are made for walking

                                         to be fair if Search hadnt fucked up refused to motor through its programmingadamantly refusing not to allow him an option  it is likely he probably wouldnt ever have learned what Bombycillidae is or the name waxwing pretty slick or the adjective passerine

should learn something new every day until Life kills you
