heard the shrubjay

                        saw himherherhim in the twistinleafy boughs of the live oak above him

sounded mischievous

reminded him of he in his youth

had to get the last word inhad to fuckprovoke whomever raised his ire

didnt take much

   was always spoiling for a fight

                                     but

hed pocketed what few would have imagined he had

   training

a Golden Gloves boxer

                          a little shit

but who knew how to box

anwasnt keen on takin prisoners

shrubjay cawed

                   understood its advantage

No ya don

CAW

Donya dare

like thawas a threat

in startlinquicksuccession it dropped limb to limbworked its way to the least obstructed perch above him

Whacha gonna dobout it

fair question

   they did

nothing he could dobout itcouldnt even avoid its hotbullet trajectory

                                                                          hit him in the throat

sheheheshe cackled as they flew off

. . . movies are stories he could never write

                                                 but he could write a movie . . .

FILE  #17

   not ITEM #17 not PORTFOLIO though wouldnt be portfolio or folio neither in his vernacular

                                                                                                      file

anwhy #17

not 17

       17 is a number   why reiterate

   his why was legit

it was his dream

the tyranny of dreamingUnless  like him

                                           one can manipulate it  lucid dreaming

which hes had down pat since his early 20s

worked like a dog

                    its paid off

but last night he went with it

seemed a dare

FILE #17 remained static on the back of his eyelids for a long time

he thought You started this

his patience after years of doctors waiting rooms surgeries recoveries had patience

                                                                                   nearly indomitable

helped to be an Other as perceived by majority fearful Whitey

                                                                  wasnt racist

race is like pornography

                            ya know it when ya see it

an most cant hide it

though they dearly believe they are

FILE #17 turned out to be an oversized 3-ring binder

                                                                Aah 3-ring circus

an it was

it wanted to come across like a dossier about him

                                                     but for a dream it should have been more accurate

it was frustrated

evidently dreams havent long memories

                                              forgot

   he was lucid

                  an distorted every page as it was turned

he dampened some HOT shit

                                    he knew it

but he was Authority

dreams  often they believe they are    think Freud think Jung think psychotherapists

NO

     had the reins firmly in his hands

good try though

                 nice try

have to see if it – they would remain diligent
