hed wake in the morning after a hefty night of lifting dreamsfighting his way out or traipsing tenuous labyrinths without Ariadnes helpthe Minotaur snortinghot on his heels no cinema wire to fly from wall to wall to keep out of reach poor Minotaur like the disfigured Hunchback of Notre Dame Poseidon couldnt resist himselfhad to have his finger in the pie  he sent a pure white bull to Minos who ruled Crete revealing his favour the bull was to be sacrificed to him but Minos owing to the animals beauty could not so as Gods and humans are petty Poseidon made Minos wife Pasiphae fall in love with the bull and bewitched or beGodded Pasiphae had Daedalus the craftsman fashion a hollow cow so she could mate with the bull same Daedalus who took the gig to build the Labyrinth where the Minotaur was held

seemed Daedalus got the clean end of the stick

                                                              until Minos caught wind he made the cow

imprisoned with his son Icarus clever Daedalus collected feathers and devised wings for their escape but Icarus flew too near the sunwho listens to their old man the beeswax melted and he plunged to his death into the sea  the sea  which seemed to him better than filthy city concrete anall the gawddamned people crowding roundsniffing blood later telling their psychiatrists what the explodedmeat Rorschach meant

                                                               which would have been revealed from above for posterity by intrepid New York Times Washington Post Wall Street Journal photographers  with their fucking iPhone or Android

play with a bull ya end up getting a horn

but mornings hed wake and before he could make his bed he found himself with a snoot full and have to stop get a handkerchief blow his nose

                            also seemed that going from prone to upright filled his bladder

which he emptied first was a coin toss

if he was a betting man it would have made for a more interesting morning

nose emptied

bladder emptied

bed made

he hustled to clean the catboxes and feed his ferals inside and out

                                                                     an during his hustle an antics he entertained himself with remembered dreams and WHY THE FUCK did he have them because he believed his dreams werent overnite entertainment but rather germane to his life and existence

with cats cared for coffee brewing he wrotefilled journals  journals that were every bit as filled to brimming as was his morning nose and bladder
