Thas bullshit

It’s not.

Says someone without any skin in the game

                                               I was working that puzzle you didnt fit two pieces together

It’s a difficult puzzle.

You havent the eyebut thas neither here nor there

                                                      Why

We were gonna have dinner.

Wha time

           After your pool party you barbecue

I did. It was Sevenish.

It was a pleasant evening

It was . . sun low in the westjust over the hills.

Why didnt you eat outside at the picnic table

The girls would have had to bring out the sides.

Copious sides

   What do you mean?

You understand copiousmany many plates ya ate off paper

                                                               Wha sides

Potato salad. Corn on the cob. Tossed salad.

                                                    Condiments.

There were four of you Eight hands

What’s your point?

Plenty of hands for sides Could have eaten outside

We didn’t want to eat outside.

Fair

     So instead on one half of a huge dining table large items on one side  the girls decided to pickup the other half with a sevenhunredfifty piece puzzlea good onehunred pieces fitted together

Because I didnt showup to your soiree because I had a telephone call with my daughter

They picked it up, I didn’t.

They ask you

They didn’t.

Why didnt they Fuckin obvious I was working the puzzle

                                                             Wasnt it   Obvious

They picked it up before I knew they had.

Water under the bridge.

Yaknow wha one might also think

                                           Hell to pay

Passiveaggressive

thall learn him

                 he tried to resist flipping through the book Cutting-up in the Kitchen Butcher’s Guide before going to bed

was prettymuch review for him

                                  did two summers in Missoula Montana killing slaughtering butchering beef veal pigs rabbits chickens

he went to bed

they who they were he had no idea

                                       they left him a carcass to butcher left it outdoors on a stout woodblock table cheesecloth laid over it to keep off insects

 

undraping it

               it was an undetermined  thorax

hed never seen anything like it

there were bones

unsymmetric

                if he had to sayguess  what       a boned mollusc   oyster

he could feel them? under the skinnedflesh  purplyred thin yellow brokenskeins

he draped the cheesecloth over it again

                                          because that was the way he found it

despite no insectsflies coming around

went back into the house

the note said theyd return that afternoon for the cuts

                                                        

he figured hed sit tight for them to come and they could tell him what cuts they were expecting from an anatomy he didnt recognise

he wasnt anxious

a little miffed

                it insisted he wasnt a butcher

they could instruct him

                         or they could take a hike with the substantial body

if he hadnt made coffee sat with a cup to read the paper do the crossword play Jumble hed believe he was still asleep dreaming

NBCs Dasha Burns asked

                            “Are you worried about going to jail, Mr. President?”

“I’m not worried at all, you know what? Nothing bothers me, nothing bothers me. We have a corrupt group of people. And you know what? And it’s really working out the other way. We just got the highest poll numbers we ever had. You know what? They cheat so much ten points isn’t enough, because if we don’t win, our country is finished, I’m telling you.”
