Duffy


Duffy sent me woodpecker sawdust
                                         Reminds me Tinkerbell her Pixie dust  without it shes unable to fly  I hope Duffy wasnt too generousdidnt diminish her abilities for whatever woodpecker sawdust provides

I’ve . . I’ve never heard of . that.

Me neither It came inside a coffinshaped glass jewelry box   A bit unsettling A small note inside it facing up on bonecoloured parchment said it was woodpecker sawdust

What is that?

  Logically bits an dust of wood excavated by a woodpecker either from it searching for insects or to storepack seeds or nuts in
         It seems me   You have an idea
 
No.
     What are you going to do with it?And whos Duffy?

Duffys my mother She wants to be known as Duffy from here on

he cringed  uncomfortably
                             Your mother?

Yes  Don make a face

Your mother’s dead.

  Yes

Are you okay?
Yes
       I was moved  The notes in her handwriting  I believe it was written with the fountain pen I gave her years ago  Her cursive is beautiful and the flourish of ink not ballpoint is quite exquisite  An unmistakable

he shifted his feet  Are you sure you’re okay?

I can show you the jewelry box the dust the note Yare familiar with her handwriting you can see for yourself

he slowly shook his head side to side  mulling   indecisive
                                                                    Duffy 
Yes  Thank you

No. I’d rather not.
                    I’ll take your word.

Should you change your mind Id be happy to show you
                                                              The glass coffinshaped boxI believe  acknowledges her acceptance of her death  You remember she didnt want to be buriedcoudnt breathe didnt want to be cremated itd burn 
In a coffin in a crypt was an excellent solution to her dilemma
                                                                 An maybe afterall  she gave me all her dust  She doesnt need to flymaybe  I don know  Ill have to give it more thought but off the top of my head  that’s my consideration   Ill give it more thought


You are sure you’re okay?

Yes thank you I am   Im surprised but okay an grateful  This confirmsfalls in line with my considered belief that theres an unseen veil to say biologically a lenticel aerenchyma auriferous parenchyma  stomata  that allows exchangesinteractions between  us 
                                       It separates life an death  a febrilefor lack of a better word or word I havent right now  A febrile passage

I don’t know what to say.

if we hardened our democracy
                                 other things can follow   like boiling an egg

the biggest problem firming things up is the Republican party
                                                                 it stands for nada      
Hemingway  A Clean, Well-lighted Place
                                           “ . . . he knew it was all nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada. Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver usfrom nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.”
                                                it killed him to share a muscular Hemingway with them they arent muscular Hemingway parses them  gutted flensed pared fileted offal tossed off to a side he furrows trying to find if they haveat least a pearl inside them he attempts to find something redeeming about them


but they believe their job is to be obstructionists   cockblockers

  hardening democracy
                            to have Republicans help would require them to ingest handfuls of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor pills Viagra and such and submit to plastic surgery  testicular prosthesesLADIES hard to believe that women would side with them  a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) mighty close to sperm  Ospemifene (Osphena) for vaginal atrophy


a subliminal Mariachi band member whispered  Yare being ridiculous

I am 

Yare trying to be offensive

I am they offend me Shit or get off the pot They exhibit no leadership offer no solutions enable a criminal Their justice their Themis peeks out from under her blindfold 
                                                   Theyre an egregious pedigree an my hope overly manipulated  like German Shepherd hip dysplasia it cuts short their political lives


That was a mouthful

A mournful mouthful Theyre trying to eradicate the Twentieth Century
Retro Republicans
