he couldnt have done that if he
tried
he was wearing flipflops
stepping up to the commode to
urinate
he fed indie one of his two cats
in the bathroom because october his other cat ate like a Marinehustling through
meals getting it done with an eye for the possibility of moving indie off point aside and getting at his
food indie took his time masticated because hed been a lone cat for six yearsnever challenged october feral a runt ya do
whatcha gotta do ta eat
and stepping up to the toilet the
edge of his flipflop caught a kibbleweight just right evidently and chipped it
up and backwards it struck the wall and deflected
from the wall into the shallow plastic feeding bowl that held indies kibble
some kibble are shaped like stars
triangles discs pebbles this kibble is
shaped like a projectilefat in the middle then somewhat tampered to rounded ends perhaps four millimetre long
the kibble came to rest in the
bowl separate from the other kibble
he watched it tremble
to a stop over his shoulder
he couldnt have done that if he
tried
and standing there with his dick
in hand looking back into the toilet bowlhis face reflecting in the water he
laughed
it occurred to himhe recognised in that obscure precious moment most of his life was made up of him doing
things that he couldnt have done if he tried
a man with an unguided physics that
deflected off surfacesfound paths of least resistance freefell spun out of tangled brancheslanded on his feet too many times to
count
he was utterly curious for that
final deflection that he wouldnt survivecome back from akin to a man fallen off a building not screaming for fear rather screaming for the same reason people
scream on rollercoasters and on other amusement park rides for the heartpounding exhilaration of it
and between screams between
gathering his breath again saying to
himself So
far so good
