Pansies
he
tried to remember the last time he heard someone call anyone a pansy
pansy his only recollection was in grade
schoolnot junior highhigh school grade
school and the accused pansy beat the living
daylights out of the namecaller
the
namecaller was depending on three other boys who looked likewere apparently
there to back him up to add physical dimensionthreat to his insult
they
didnt get into the act possibly they
were shocked put off by the sudden overwhelming violence
and
then the schoolground teachers immediately descended on the two boys
the
kids were too young to know exactly what a pansy wasthey acted according to its
soundit sounded derogatory maybe they
overheard an adult or older kid use it
kids
didnt know homo
they didnt
know effeminatefour syllables that would
have been a mouthful for even the smartest kid among them unlikely she would have known
Pansy
thats what he told the principal in
his office that the kid called him
Do
you know what a pansy is, Joe?
I
do not sir I know a pansy is a flower But I dont think he was calling me a flower
And
so you hit him?
I didnt
hit him
Several
teachers said you hit him.
I
hit him a lothe had no idea how to cover up
youd think hed know that much
Pansies
then
last week he read an article about Rodney Howard-Browne a Christian AhKahrist preacher evangelist Pentecostal of The River at Tampa Bay Church in Florida mocking people who were
concerned with the Coronavirus mocking
those people as pansies and Rodney that
sounds pansyish
insists Kahrist he was crossing his fingers insists
hed only shutter the doors to his church “when the Rapture is taking place”
Pansies
thats the best hes got
Rapture
triggered him
reminded him of Marshall
Applewhitethough Applewhite may not have espoused it
Remember
Marshall
Heavens
Gate
Remember
Hale-Bopp tailed by an alien spacecraft
the
Nikes
their kinda “Kool-Aid” Jonestown Phenobarbital mixed
into applesause or pudding vodka chasers
he
wondered what bigmouth Rodney might serve at the Rapture
Remember
the bodies of 21 women and 18 men were found lying in bunk beds in a mansion in
Rancho Santa Fe a suburban of San Diego
discovered
late March 1997 Hmm
betcha Rapture tallies more than 39
current Coronavirus
deaths have dusted those numbers
Must
be nice to Believe
