Kool-Aid dont care

its terrible to concede that life got in the way

                                                of Death

its been twentynine days since hes returned to Worldometers terrible undaunted tally

today it recorded onemilliononehunredeightyonesixhunredantwenty 1,181,620 Americans have died of Trumpvirus

on October 9 he learned  twentynine days ago onemilliononehunredseventyeightfourhunredanfour 1,178,404 Americans had died

threethousandtwohunredansixteen 3,216 Americans dying since

                                                                       an average of onehunredaneleven 111 – actually 110.896 deaths – the .896 unfortunately equals 1

   the former remains deluded

                                   unfortunately almost half of America continue to sip his orange Kool-Aid

not a snake  

              a seedpod

not a chiton a curled dried leaf

not a mole a rock

   he constantly imbued inanimate things animation

                                                        as Steinbeck wrote in The Log of the Sea of Cortez enthused by biologist Doc Ricketts An ocean without its unnamed monsters would be like a completely dreamless sleep.

he named things other than they were hoping one dayAbracadabra the moment would flop like a wet sodden thing and the Improbable would prove its existence

might be asking for a lot

when in truth he was asking for the minute

                                              a sliver a shave a glimpse in a Funhouse mirror realised for a quickenedbreaths duration

desperate confirmation

fortunately he was an optimistic soul

he saw ghosts dead onhead on

caught things out of the corner of his eye

                                            he learned if he didnt avert his eyes to see them theyd stay

queer companyqueer companions

made him laugh

tickled him

his mother warned him  That’s just your imagination.   I enjoy it   Well, just as long as you don’t get carried away.   Theyre not big enough Maw   I don’t mean literally, children are so literal, so naïve.   You donae get out enough Maw  I meet naïve adults all the time   Maybe they’re not as wellread as you.   Anthas on you   It is.   You got tired of reading to me didnt you   You were insatiableare insatiable, was time you read what you wanted for yourself because goodness knows I didn’t want to read to you the books you wanted to read. Didn’t like the pictures.   I did not  I wanted to see pictures painted by words

   a seedpod not a snake

at a glance they look similar

Unbelievable 

he showed teeth  gritted clenched

                                        assiduously

the message suggested pain

                               not his

Do  Not  Fuck he assumed they could complete the sentence With Me

his sneer an invective

                          instructional if one wasnt too thick

chicklets canines

                    visual connective tissue inertia building defiance uninhibited fomenting  coud lose his shit

                                                                                                                   except

except for the pervasivepersuasive voice in his head singing Keep it cool boy real cool

   easier said than done

at issue 

at his bank

              how he dated his checks

his issue

          hes dated checks letters as such since a high school freshman

   No. For instance asif he needed an example today’s date in November 7, 2023, or you can write it 11/7/2023, we begin with the month, then the day and the year, not the nonsense you write.

Keep it cool boy  real cool

   Whell I cant tell you how much I dig concurring 

                                                      So Ill concur with virtually all other countries in the world and our military Furthurmore if youll look at the clock on the wall to your right youll see the hands read 8:37 which youll absolutely read as Eightthirtyseven I read it as Eighthundredthirtyseven hours were nearing Ninehundred hours at Oneoclock this afternoon itll be Thirteenhundred hours

So please  keep your nos to yourself 

Ill keep writing the date as I do

You have record of all checks Ive written Theyre precedence Find one where I havent

                                                                                           One

I appreciate your time

he walked out of the bank

kept it cool real cool

                      thawas unlike him  particularly regarding petty things tha shoudnt exist

save for the petty people who bring them up
