comma

another night spent dreaming of a wordseemed all night  he couldnt recall any interruptions commercial breaks alleviations 

            a flash card turned  COMMA  hed say Comma  the card was placed face down  the next card turned  COMMA  he said it again  card was placed face down  next one turned  COMMA  and thats how the night went the dream passed until his bladder gave him an excuse to excuse himself and wake 

he took a leak and returning to the bedroomthe bed beckoning  he declined   to his cats he asked Whadasay Time to get the show on the road 

                          he cheatedsmacked his lips  over the years it had been his way of informing them they were going to eat 

cats like humans are creature of habit  routine 

                                                 they also knew theyd eat after he made his bed 

his bed wanted to be made like he wanted to be made 

                                                         Sorrybabe  Make you tonight

making her  thinking about COMMA  he found that after readingrepeating COMMA in his mind Bring up the dead occurred to him  Bring up the dead 

                                    now his dreaming influencing his consciousness 

after feeding the cats he went to his dictionary 

COMMA

         via Latin from Greek komma  ‘piece cut off also short clause piece cut off’ from koptein ‘cut’

Bring up the dead

Piece cut off 

            pretty fuckin accurate

recently too many pieces were being cut off in his life 

                                                        like he needed his dreamed-self and dreaming-self to remind him 

Workin overtime boys

Don pay overtime

if he was patientdidnt have to wait long not really  his father always presented him with an opportunity for a joke 

they just occurred to him parked their fat asses on his lap so he couldnt ignore them

                                                                                      had to get them off his chest

YUP  lap to chest 

he joked quickly

                 didnt want them to straddle his face 

his dadthey were talking on the telephone said he went outside to shovel the walk they received threefour inches

his dad  older  was recently prone to stumbling

                                                  slipping part and parcel of stumbling

She was mad.

I stopped and went inside.
