itd been an odd couple of days
an he wasnt one accustom to being
taken unawares
he had an imagination to fathom most
interactions but muthafuck back to back days
found him spungroping
there were two conversations
with two women
Have you ever heard of a
malignant narcissist?
Narcissistyah malignant
narcissist no Sounds redundant
Ohno, not really, not within the
confines of terminology, it’s a blend of disorders: narcissism, and antisocial
personality.
Do tell do tell
You think I’m kidding you?
Ah ya know better than to kid
me Do tell
I will, I will.
they were on the telephone
but he could imagine her canines showing as she smiled wryly Internally they’re fragile, they’re aggressive,
suspicious of those around them, they see things in black and white. A
malignant narcissist has no remorse if they’ve harmed someone . . and they’ll
do whatever it takes to get what they want . regardless.
So in a word Republican
Let me finish, please let me
finish . .
. . Yare not
No, they’re apex . . creatures .
.
. . Im grateful you called them creatures sounds dangerously close to apex predators
They could be, very possibly; they
feel empowered by hurting or harming others. No one is superior to them.
That it
Jesus, isn’t that enough?
Why arent ya letting me cut to
the chaseuse shorthand Republicans
Comon, certainly not all
Republicans, can’t allow you such a blanket statement.
If the shoe fits wear it Theyre pernicious theyve align themselves
like goosestepping Nazis But given I might be overlybroad perhaps perhaps not I donwanna take away any bows or curtsies they might wanna take theyre certainly due for allowing the metastasis Im
being generous to their cause
Were talking about
this why
My exboyfriend.
Your exboyfriend If hes ex why is he bubbling up into our
conversation
He’s bubbling up because of his
mother.
Why would an exboyfriends mother
matter
A mutual friend’s father died and
we ran into each other at the wake.
Ah thank you That makes sense bu . .
. . But why Im bringing her up, the malignant narcissist, is because she, after divorcing his father, probably prior too, slept around,
and she didn’t do it cautiously or quietly.
She a looker
A looker. She’d tell me she
was insatiable, I love cock, howbout you, honey, you suck my boy’s cock?
Jesus
Jesus? I’d suck Jesus’s cock.
I’m speaking for her.
Yes I follow
Audacious
Audacious, good word. You want to
know what’s audacious?
Im all for new definitions
interpretations
Of late she’s been going to wakes
and funerals of fuckbu . .
.
. Whoa Are you going to say fuckbuddies
I’m not proud about it; but I am.
What’s with men unable to keep their dicks in thei . .
.
. Stop you What have you done with my
friend Really Dicks in their pants
Dicks in their pants.
Awright
You keep interrupting.
Yare talkin like someone off the
street
I’m relating how she talks, I'm not pulling any punches, sparing her. She’s vulgar.
he
almost said Do tell do tell
And because she’s been showing up
and disrupting these ceremon . .
. . Cant be too somber if these men were
known . . you know
Their survivors have to contend with the aftermath of their relative’s indiscretions. He’s dead; the dead don’t
contend.
I can see that
Yes, yes.
So recently families
are hiring bouncers for the entrances to keep her out.
You knew my husband.
I knew him before you knew
himknew him in high schoolthe year out then I moved away
But you knew him.
To be accurate I knew of him On occasions we ran into each other We were acquaintedwe didnt pal around
Oh, the way the family talked
about you . .
. . I dated his sister
I was out of
high school she was in that might have
been memorable
It was more than that.
Wha can I say Nice to be remembered
You are memorable.
Yare kind to say
It wasn’t an amicable parting.
He walked out on me and
the girls.
He walked away from his daughters
Youll excuse me I can understand it
takes two to tango Spouses may not be
forever But children are blood
Since he disappeared on us, after
all the shit to find him, he hasn’t seen his daughters.
Has not seen his daughters
I donknow I can talk about this Im seeing red
He caught wind our eldest was
going to marry. He was peeved, outraged, she didn’t ask him to walk her down
the aisle.
He wasn’t invited.
He threatened to come anyways.
I have no words
He didnt come
He did not, however her cousins,
really big men, posted up at the entrances in case he thought to show. They
agreed he wasn’t coming inside.
Bouncers at church
Yes, now that I think of it, they
were bouncers.
Ohmy, I
didn’t think that at the time; I was just so grateful for my nephews and how
much they love their cousins.
Bouncers. They were bouncers.
They were
What made you think of that?
I couldnt say
