. . . what to mix with what to make what to do with

                                                         sentence from the last piece

leftovers

did somersaults in his mouth

tickled him pink

     rioted

                kept showingup in his eyes

on the ceiling that night while he bathed

                                               had received a Christmas gift  a savory essential oil called Shinrin-Yoku  Forest Bathing Blend  hed swambathed in more reservoirs lakes creeks rivers swimming pools mountain hot pools than one could shake a stick at

                                                             that said

as a teen he recreated Burt Lancasters character Neds  swim The Swimmer based on John Cheevers bookwhich hed read before he saw the film

                                                an that said

after the film he went to City Hall

he learned where all inground pools that had been built in the township where lagoons and small residential lakes were and mapped out a route  where to be dropped then go from there to waterhole to waterhole to waterhole skinnydipping all the way home

that was before people and the municipal got freaked out fenced yards in so small children didnt accidentally drown they still did couldnt commit suicide they still did

some of those small children guys grewup and refused not to resist the Draft and came home in body bags stuffed inside shiny military coffins their families recommended not to view the remains what remained or pieces that remained

he convinced three guys to join him play out his antics

one was caught  arrested   he took credit

                                               Sorry, man, I took credit. If I didn’t my other choice was to turn you guys in, and I knew if you’d been caugh . .

. . I woudnt havewasnt an Id beat you within an inch of your life

    Yah. There’s that.

If you’d been caught you wouldn’t have made a peep.

Been a rat

    A rat.

              Right.

Right

 

showedup in his eyes as he read as he watched short streaming episodes on-line

. . . what to mix with what to make what to do with

was just too much fun

didnt make much sense when taken out of context

although most things taken out of context are strategical  ploys   baldfaced lies
