he could dial up try to respect most
concepts he provided what he deemed sufficient etiquettewhat it may deserve he wasnt born in a barn as his mother was fond of saying though she said it more often to him than any of his seven
siblings
she said she didnt relish telling him
he didnt relish hearing her Save your breath Maw I aint changing one
iota
his iotas were long fixed at a cellular
level from birth his slatehis tabula rasa had been cryptically scribbled all over a veritable palimpsest that he saw through his paleblue newborn eyes and while not in possession of or having knowledge
of things called words hed bet he was
pretty sure he thought Fuck it
he tried not to be rudenot blatantly rude
however when he heard something absurd
he couldnt nod respectfully to the absurdist hmm him or her NO he
damn near tripped over his tongue spewing his rebuke
he refused to provide audience or
credence to horseshit no matter where it was uttered or
among whoever
the one tenant he couldnt tolerate the bad breath ofthat riled and incensed him was that when we die our loved onesfamily
and friends will be waiting just on the other sidein an unseen room next door
wasnt anyone of sound mind and
bodywhether or not they declared a last will and testament whos died thats pulling
off into a rest stop or waiting at a railroad siding marking time for twenty
thirty forty years for you not for you to finally come down the road aimlessly kicking an empty tin canyour hands jammed in the front pockets of your pants
he wouldntwasnt
hed have a hard time respecting those if they did
one could argue time was
relativemaybe thirty forty years to the dead is the blink of an eye mebbe
but mebbe thirty forty years is an eternity
mebbe theyd have something better
to do or somewhere to goTime be a wastin and aint no time worthwhile blowin
dead or alive
dead or alive
