his wife appeared in a dreamshe rarely
appeared as herself an he couldnt saycouldnt
see if she was completely herself her face was her tanned California face that he met in Miami as a teenager although her face was circled with a thick
line of white mime makeup
he didnt remember her hairhe couldnt take his eyes off her
face he hadnt seen her looking
like that in more than forty years they
couldnt afford a camera teenage pictures
were in her parents albums that her siblings took when her mother died
they never got around to
sharing the picturesthe albums with her
her bodynaked was unlike any body
she ever had unlike her modesty naked on a beach beside a stranger a dark man who
obviously was enjoying his discomfort an who knew he was safe from him because
his wife was appalled by his proclivity to violence she would step in to protect someoneeven someone who verbaly abused her the stranger was a real
cunt he smiled You’ll leave him alone, Joe, you hear me;
leave him alone and the while the stranger goaded him with his eyesfacial expressions
so he took a Detour
an then another an another a double IPA ninepointfive alcohol
he was trying to celebrate a
benchmark he achieved but she interrupted reminded him How dare you take that girl into our
bed. she glared at him his dreamed wife wouldnt know that their bed
was burned in an apartment fire a fire
he fought from inside protecting their cats who he threw into a halfbath
and closed the door
their bedroom was a loss but he stemmed the redlick there
How dare you take that girl into
our bed.
he wasnt going to fight herwasnt
going to fight her and her cunt companion
he had been kneeling beside
her
as he began to stand she tried to
grab him by the arm but her hand slipped from him a fine white sand Miami
threw her grip
he recognised then that she wasnt naked that shed been buried in sand and over her
body the cunt had formed an obese naked womans body the mime makeup sand
that sandfashioning made him feel comfortable comfortable so he could walk awaywalk away from
her screaming behind him Our bed! OUR BED!
he was
upset her dreamed self came to him angrily he
had enough of her anger when she was alive
in order to leave beach and her accusation he had to pass through a carnival wild animals past an Admission booth
a fat redhead heavily garishly
madeup woman sitting behind its bars told him he couldnt enter without paying
admission
Im passing through
It’ll cost you ten dollars to enter.
My ass the violence he left behindunexercised with
cunt pantedwas brimming
Then I’ll have to set someone on
you.
Set
halfway through the menageriethe
huckstersthe freaks a huge buffalo lumbered towards himtaking an angle that
forced him towards a woodplank fence
behind him a fat man shoved
him he needed to use a bathroom Is this
the way to the Men’s room? fatty asked
Beats me
nearly obstructed by the fence the
buffalo suddenly wheeledturning his hindquarters on himfatty shoved him from behindthe buffalo kicked he had the strength to negate fattys pushwent
up on his toes inertia
denied its hoof shot before his thighssmashed the
fence recoilingdrawing back its leg inertia caught up with him and shoved himstaggering him past the beasts huge muscular hind end
it rolled an defiant red eye
after him
but he made the alley ahead it narrowed
significantlynarrowed to a steel post exit gate an orangemunchin orangutan squatted there making sure no one reversed
field a placard hung around his
neck When you exit you’re out. the scrawl looked as if the monkey might have
made it menace explicit
