was walkingreading Underland Robert MacFarlance   an had to pullupstep aside take a pen from behind his ear to scribble on a piece of paper he tucked inside the book before heading out in case he came across something that caught his eye dumbfounded him

he was easy prey iron filing to a magnet

                                            Geologists and palaeobiologists speak of trace fossils. A trace fossil is the sign left in the rock record by the impress of life rather than life itself. A dinosaur footprint is a trace fossil.

   or  

marks that the dead and the missed leave behind 

                                                     handwriting on an envelope 

when he was dead he will have left thousands of pages  paper   unfortunately 2D

2D is why he refused to participate  to Skype Face-time   ZOOM 

                                                                      he was three-dimensional being  3D

he was adamant

                   dead and gone he wanted his family friends lovers people he knew to recall him as 3D they could flesh him out in their memories he didnt mind if they teased him out in letters postcards book inscriptions photographs they however grew more and more rare the older he got

he wasnt going to play the easypeasy forgettable game of appearing on screen

  angstNo    irritation

earbuds

not a fan

          though cant expect a Luddite to be one

anhe was a Stone Age Luddite

                                        whats a Luddite

historically 1811- 1816 they were bands of English workers who destroyed machinery especially in cotton and woolen mills because they believed presciently machinery threatened their jobsImagine that

had to hand it to em

                     which woud entailrequire another human being to hand it

he maintained hand tools    

very few electrical

ZERO

      battery tools

cut his lawn with a pushmower

used a rake a broom industrial metal dustpan to clean things up

earbuds

          if one listened to prophets profits “Whether you’re wearing them to listen to music at the gym or block out distractions at work, wireless earbuds are usually essential to our day-to-day lives.” 

                                                                                          Harry writes for NBCNews.com

he duly appreciated that Harry included “are usually essential”

                                                                    the bitterness was his an his ilk

when a products noise-cancellation was touted it galled him he appreciated long battery lifehe had a cellphone fast recharging

              but noise-cancellation

weresuddenly many stricken with misophonia hatred dislike of sound anyet curiously  listened through earbuds

hes asked no ones been able to explainlegitimise that to him

                                                                and he couldnt be the only one who looked at people in the market on the street remote interviewsZOOMed appearing on television the computer who thought earbud wearers looked like Frankenstein bolts electrodes sticking out of their ears

to be fair 

          his ire detest of technological noise-cancellation was because he chalkedup his cancel-ability to being raised in a small house with his parents grandmother and eight siblings

                                                                   to not hear was a matter of survival    

todays nuclear family is usually small  four five

and impatient

and dependent

on technology

to each his own correctly so 

   but he coudnt help but wonder where they would be when the lights went out

itll be ugly

   he went out every night  1. (perhaps more than once) to take a leak into the yard off the back porchhis peppermint was terribly pleased  midthigh height  2. to look at the stars for his parents who lived in Chicago and couldnt see them for light pollution

they tried once a yearevery two to make a trip to visit him

                                                              he lived remote

his brothers and sisters called it Left Coast boonies boondocks  out Nowhere

                                                                                   but

went out particularly for his Mom

                                    she spoke Polish until she was six in the city she had to go early to attend English school where after school after chores after dinner was served eaten dishes washed dried putaway she sat with her parents to help them improve their broken English

then shed do her homework

                              until she was six she lived on the farm in rural Indiana

used an outhouse

propped open its door for  1. to breath  2. to watch the starswatch for shooting stars and imagine she was piloting a craft that could fly in the air and into outer space

where did he get his expansive imagination

he pushed back against her kiddingly  ansay from his eclectic reading

Who taught you to read?

fucked

       he conceded

every night stars were present he went outside to look at them

for his Dad

            his Dad told him he was conceived on their honeymoon in the backseat of a 1950 Buick convertible that had Dynaflow Transmission a passing gear that allowed him to kick it up a notch by simply jumping on the gas its steel grillwork looked like maniacal sharks teeth set in a frown an HUUNGRRY

                                                                              Like I was, son. he said

his fathers best boyhood friend told him when he was a boy that when his father saw his mother at a company picnic they worked for that his father said

                                      Donny, I’m going to get in her pants even if I have to marry her.

Brother he thought  thas romantic

he told himself those stories and others virtually every night looking at the stars since his circumstances had turned him out
