2.1.19


     you wouldnt want to play Duck Duck Goose with him anymore than youd want to play Musical Chairs with him he brought a brick in his schoolbag  his handeye coordination was unhooked  could drop a kid in his tracks across the circle from him 

he was small fast agile he didnt mind getting hurtdidnt mind blowin someone up if he had to to win playing fields are never level

but thats what a life of punishment or correction to be like others gets ya

Do you have to learn the hard way? his mother asked him his grandmother asked him and when his father got home unbuckled his belt Son, it seems youre gonna learn the hard way. he didnt say Get on with it although it must have shown in his face a glint in his eyes for his defiance he took a couple more straps across his bare ass even attempts to humiliation him didnt cut it  and when his ass grew accustomgrew numb to spankings his father took the belt to the back of his thighs was that supposed to wake him up Maybe that will wake you up. dont speak until youre spoken to didnt mean you had to speak  no you didnt

he kept his own counsel
                         who knows your mind more than you a matter of ethics  No Soliciting No Exceptions he was really fond of Trespassers Will Be Violated


pain passes
             he chided Certainly brings ya into the presentthe Here an Now  Like nothing else Mind over matter  If ya dont mind it dont matter

if someones pain was chronic he could be persuaded to be compassionate 

his compassion was hard won had a small window

he was knocked for it


what else was new



addictions come in all shapes and sizes
