had a restless night
which was awfullyhard
to believe because the laundry room was across the hall from the bedroom ran the
washer its whitenoise usually eased his mind erased the day if it had been badit
wasnt gently rockabye babied him
woke in the morning sleeping
sideways on the bednearer the foot than the head
opening his eyes he saw the
matteblack steel gun cabinet at his feet
humouring himself he bought boxes
of magnetic coloured alphabets and numbers and scribbled nonsensically on the it except for occasional specific reminders
HMMM
he exhaled
on the side of the locker near the top was an E it
was blue S yellow
I red
Whastha
spell he thought
Spelled an alternative EASY
angled off the S and I was an n green
tailing off the n was a T purple
angling back into the fieldas it
were was an upside down U blue
beside the U a backward C red
scratched his head
he placed the letters randomly after scattering the magnets across his bed then decorated the cabinet
or
had one of his female
guests pranksters played with them
frankly
any one of his motley crew may have
not
that they were motley
marvelous more
accurate
but who wants to say my marvelous
crew to motley
and they loved the descriptive
in spite of the few unexpected times when twothree
crewmembers gangedup gangbanged him
he had a habitexcelled at taking
down inhibitions
had been a fouryear Varsity wrestler in high school
his specialty was takedowns
were the two related
like he
cared
sittingup he spun on his tail set
his feet on the woodfloor stood
got out on the right side
had he not had the night he did
there was no way knowing if he ever would have recognised the mystical arrangement
among the other coloured letters numbers scattershot round them
