made him assess  fleeting

he finished takin a leak outdoors  California why use a toilet flush  he was a better steward than that

walking back to the patio where he left broheim and his buddy Bob they were sitting with their beaks in their smartphones

                    thought it queer  curious   Hey boys

they hadnt seen each other in more than a year

                                                    thought theyd be gasbaggin

Hey boys

they looked up

Got time

Time?

To consider an observation

Your dick?

Woudya like to see went for his pants

No no. looked at one another   We’re cool.

Guess well find out

                        Since you were nursing your brain  Braindeadness grey in your faces 

I was thoroughlytempted to give ya some resounding slaps  But perhaps this consideration will do

    Though I reserve the option to crack ya one

they looked like they wanted to remark on his animosity  but  wisely   held their tongues

Takin a leak I looked at the crown the reef of live oaks in the lot next door A huge shadow raced across them

I knew but I tossed a glance up  right

                                             A turkey vulture

He or she circledpassed again Threw their shadow on the canopy again

                                                                                  Seemed deliberate

I wondered if they were admiring their shadow

Wondered  if they realised time is fleeting

    After the second pass they veered west flew away

As they flew into that gulf of blue air I saw two small birds twistturn one chasing the other  They flew headlong into the live oak boughs As they did   Threw shadows too

Flying artfully  Threw shadows on the trees

                                                 But I imagined they werent able to notice  see

Their acrobatics severe  their shadows  abrupt

I cant imagine they recognised time fleeting

 

  Any thoughts

Yeah Bobby said

                       I can’t believe you didn’t piss on your leg.

he an attorney

broheim a college professor

he was a carpenter

had thought he was hangin out with some kind of intellect

                                                                       fooled himself
