he came off a very animated phone conversation
with his brotherhis Irish twin
animated
that may not cut it
their animated others found obnoxious because they lack the commonality
upbringing they shared
even their wives couldnt keep
up with them when they got going and going
Colour Them Gone
sometimes
they lost each other
though scrambling
either finding crumbs that
failed Hansel and Gretel
finding Ariadnes thread
modern Theseuses
would ignored the Labyrinths confines
sidestep the lumbering lessagile
Minotaur
had the Minotaur found them
BARBECUE
raw liver first Minotaur offal roast haunches
not necessarily unique to their taste
Death piqued a portion of their
conversation
his brother had had more opportunities
to die than heby his count six or seven
his brother was appalled
Man, you
haven’t been living. I’ve, easily, doubled that. Possibly more.
You braggin
No. Recently I was reevaluating my lif . .
. . Reevaluating
What? Time to time I do.
You don’t?
Time to time Though not often
Ja I do
Though I don call it reevaluating
What do you call it?
Remembering
Only sixseven times?
Only
I bring it up in conversation and many people who then appear to be looking for the door to
escape many say they havent considered
it
I think youd remember a near death
experience
Not off the top of my headwould you
excuse me?
No excuse for them.
I thought the exact same
You know wha I think our near deaths mean
We were awfully luck?
No
I think rather than doing it himself he sent unpolished minions
They dropped
the ball
And Death not wanting to work tha
hardlike so many others eventually will
get around to it
In the meantime minions are pulling
their weight
Hes hoping they hone they skills
Then maybe hell give them another shot at us
Obviously well find out
Dying?
No
Ducking another bullet
Sendem
packin
You coud do it again coudntya
Oh fuck yeah.
I’ve had plenty of
practice. Talk about honing.
The big boy’s gonna have to get up off his fat ass and do the work.
I agree
Think well have a clue
Yeah.
He’ll smell like rot.
Rot
Don’t you think?
Ill have to think
Can I get back to
you
Yeah. You call me.
Since you called me.
Yeah.
