he was mighty stonedwas sitting out by the apartment complexs swimming pool in the sun

his beer bottle was sweating

he wasnt doing too bad either

was thinking to himself Whas this tune

he listened it was familiar

I know this song he thought 

                               Wha is it

it was coming

             like peeling an onion but without tears

I know this I know this he thought

entering through the gate onto the deck his buddyhoisting a small blue Igloo cooler hollered Yaready for another?

he shook his bottlenearly empty he nodded

Awwyes got it Scarecrow Wizard of Oz  If I Only Had a Brain

sitting down across from himopening a bottle with a church key

                                                                   What’s that song you’re whistling?sounds familiar.

Wizard of Oz  If I Only Had a Brain  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG3mJcUzwaI

he honestly didnt get it

                           Yare servingI doubt it

No.

That was a lot of years ago

What’s your point? he shiftedside to side in his chairmiffed angry was beyond himhe couldnt do a damn thing about it now ifhe wanted 

                   so he glared  asif glaring was combative

Not so much my point rather yours   Help me understand

What?

Marine

I’m a Marine.

You were a Marine

I am.

Youre an ex-Marine a former Marine

I’m a Marine.

Your declaration is wha I don understand I was an Eagle Scout  I don call myself an Eagle Scout that was once upon a time

Scouts isn’t service.

More a service than the military

                                 We helped people assisted the community We didnt carry weaponsthreaten lives or kill anyone

You’re deluded.  irritation in his voice

Yare not honest  

he flinched 

Yare old enough to have served in Nam Incountry See action Or were attached to a marine vesselNavy  Or served stateside My kid brother served four years with the Marines  stateside  in Japan  Air wing

                                                                                                  He doesnt call himself a Marineprefers his name calls himself a father tickled to death to call himself a grandfather

So what's your point?

It was a long time ago 

                        Kindalike a tattoo  Once freshprobably looked tremendous  now faded hangs on loose skin

irreplaceable

  Replacement theory 

                        whitey unnerveddesperate  looking over their shoulder fearfully  hatefully  whos gaining on their Legacyperceived entitlement 

he was ill trying to understand which was worse

                                                    to be taught to fear  or taught hate  indoctrinated  decrepit  their free thought spirit humanity erodeddepleted  incandescent  believing they deserve an exclamation point ! 

                                                                                              put a manhole cover on it

whitey who evangelise replacement theory their article of irreligious faith myth ought to rock back on their heels as they squat before their fire and realise they are without a doubt irreplaceable 

                                                                                   irreplaceable  in the sense that who

whowho would want to inhabit their sewer an stinkthat greasy cesspool  their grotesquelyinduced deformative brain cancer

they have submitted  surrendered

     they are not authentic
