auditory cyclop raptorial limbs
thats the shit
nightmares are made of
he could imagine humansized
mantids roaming his neighbourhood
Man anwhen they flew
their BUZZ deafened dinner
bells he wouldnt be able to hear his old
mans whistle over it anhe blew a fantastic whistle without fingers in his mouthcould
hear it two blocks off in any direction although
the truth might have been the timing was righthis belly
growled he was hungry or that earlier one of the other boys fathers whistled
and they flew straight home for dinner
a mantid BUZZ overhead might
have erased the boyish bravado they mustered to play hardball in the
park
but if mantids
were as few and far between as his experience with them was Play ball hed go out and play until dinner
but if they were plentiful
he imagined childrens life insurance
premiums would rise
maybe to the
extent of saving him from having to hear his old man say Why don’t you go outside and play in traffic?
anin his next breath calling inside the house Caroline, call our agent, bump coverage up on
Joe. anin his next breath talking to him again Boy, there’s more where you came from; I helped bring you into this
world, I can help you out.
Callous
he didnt think so
he thought his old
man was practical
his old man was where
practicality and being frugal met a wideeye
realist through and through whereas he would
be an idealistwhich is to say a hardworking idealist
nothing was going to
fall into his lap
wasnt his experience
he
hustled
ran with his knees high
tried to be the first in line
evenifhe had to trip someonetried to make opportunity he might have been a good
entrepreneur if business didnt make him puke
he couldnt make with the pattycake
praying mantes couldnt either
maybe he had something in common
with them
to become
familiarthough not intimate
he wouldnt want to hang around
with a ganga few females get loaded a gal bends over skirt goes up OHmy mymy singing
