Not ready? You don’t have a microwave, anyet you know the popcorn’s not ready?

Stubborn popcorn?

Whynot  Its not inanimate

they frownedlooked like they had a mouthful of shit 
                                                       Corn’s animate?

It germinates It gifts up Im beginning to think were not animate were fuckin ungratefulfuckin entitled 
                                                                                                            Human beings havent been tossed into the fire since witches and Jews  Were a fuckedup species 


their frown deepeneddarkened 
                                 You flabbergast me. I don’t know what to say.

I wasnt askintheres nothing to say  Just askin you open your eyes  ansee 
                                                                               Dontake the popcorn out Spiders will follow

they set the bag of popped corn on the butcherblock kitchen island from above daddylongleggeds rainedlanded on their backstwitching dying  he unfortunately recognised death throes

they opened the bagBAM unpopped kernels went off in unison and spewed popped corn on the countertop among the mess of writhing spiders 
                          dancing corndying spiders  a queer choreography

likely 
      he wouldnt indulged in microwave popcorn for some time to come 

hed fall back on oil kernels and shaking the hell out of the pot aided with potholders

maybe archaic 
                but thats where cavemen belong   thered never be spastic spiders

nineteen years ago she left him and their girlshe met her when she was nineteen

she never heard him call Tuesday Twosday or Wednesday Day-between-Two-Ts  call Friday Reggae Friday 
                                                                                                                  he found reggae without her  he liked to think she would have liked itmebbe

when they met in Miami he was doing film study writing student scripts watchingsteeping himself in foreign films 
Would you like to go with me
                               I’d love to go, I’d go anywhere with you.

 


years later during a troubled patch in their marriage she said  You think I liked those foreign films you dragged me around to?  cut him deeply

You said youd go anywhere with me 
                                        and
                                              I didnt have a car  You drove 

lacerating each others feelings didnt solve anything

 

 

ten years later they were still together

                                                          

he wasnt sure they solved anything

 

what he was sure of
                       nineteen years ago when she left him 
                                                                 twentyfour years prior when they got married 
he loved her

he loves her still 
                  he wishes his memories werent so ethereal  vapours    warm water running through his fingers because the anguish doesnt let him cup his hands

Word   whas the Word 
                           from where he sat he read that 126 Republican House members and apparently harharSenator harharHawley and crank-in-Senator Cruzing-for-a-bruisinhed have to see how many other Republican senators appears another nine might delegitimise themselvesdishonor their oath to office 
                                                                                              which they swore to God 

and this bullshit on the heels of a president who hasnt shown up for work since the election – he golfs on the taxpayers dime

Republicans do not seek to govern they only seek the tit of power   and all this amid the lethal Trump virus
