an oversight

  humoured him 

                     a lot

the fly that buzzed him as he wrote a letter to his father in the study followed him into the bathroom

he was going to take a shower

                                    Yakiddin me  he asked

the fly lighted in profile on a hunk of chalk that held fossilised seashells that he kept at the back of the basin vanity

          not that he expected an answer which would have been cool

the fly risked nothing  if they had he wouldnt be able to monetise its ability to speak

    a flys life expectancy is fifteen to thirty days

hed be gypped out of his investment gettin it up an runnin

                                                              Ya actually follow me in

I did. he played the flys part You smell delicious. How long have you been marinating?

Marinating  Gosh thas awfully kind

                                         I took a bath threefour days ago but yesterday morning went out to cut the lawnsweat something fierce  Got a cool drink of water from the hose stayed put in the shade till the sweat dried

    What time you got?

I came in around one

What time did you cut the lawn?

Was tryin to beat the heat Failed

                                      Tenish

If my math is correct, just over a day, twentyfour hours.

Ill trust your math

                        Id think if my lifespan was as limited as yours Id know  Keenly

Lifespan.  What do you mean?

How long something lives

What’s lives?

Life

Life?

What youre doing now Im doin

Doing.

          What’s that?

This  Now   Conversing

                           Curiously though  I don feel its a waste of time

Waste?  Time?

                   What’s yours, this thing, lifespan?

   Who knows

                  Could end suddenly tomorrow

Yet you know mine.  Days.

Your math

Yes.

A day twentyfour hours you said

Yes.

Is it fair to assume you know twentyfour hours one two thre . .

. . Four five six yes, boring.

Im fiftyfour years plus days

                                 Threehundredsixtyfive days a year plus Leap Year days

Roughly nineteenthousandeighthundred da . .

. . Fourhundredseventyfivethousandtwohundred . . hours.

Is tha correct

I know my math.

Whas fifteen to thirty days

Comparatively.  Not long, a pittance.

I agree

    Brother, did I get the shit end of the stick.

                                                  I ought to have been more precise, said when I reincarnated I wanted to return as a human being.

An oversight

So  he texted his daughter she was always all over him about it  What’s that smell?  :  :  You know it’s time to take a shower when you’re buzzed by flies.

    nice thing between them    they didnt recognise texts to be answered immediatelyget butthurt if someone wasnt Johnny-on-the-Spot

                                     Fuck that noise

he imagined though  when she finally read it shed shit

reply  :  :  Ya think?brusque  no fuckin emoji

he has a buddy

                 a guy a contemporary  he wouldnt have thought

who sent him texts accompanied by emojis

hed text him  :  :  Howbout you save those fuckin’ things for all your little girl friends?

  :  :  Aren’t you my girlfriend?

  :  :  Aren’t you pained in the assWAIT!  That’d make you my girlfriend!!

                                                                                 a bit of a homophobe he wouldnt text for awhile

when he did itd be about something other

. . . the point of a sphere wasnt his he would have liked it to be   its his nephews

when his brother-in-law used it

                                   Tha yours he wasnt particularly clever

Do you think it is?

No

Not at all?

No

    Why?

    

Yareallywanna press the point  Yashoudnt

I shouldn’t.

No

    Kevin’s.

Thank you

 

wished it went that way

                                rather

he respondedretaliated Kind of like squaring a circle rounding a square which regarding dimensions  inappropriate

                A sphere  A cube      3D

If indeed there happens to be a point of a sphere itd be minute

                                                                    he imagined it like a perineal seam ridge raphe  the tallest peak of that ridge a serrated edge if excited  could cut ones tongue on

an aenigma AE merged   a ligature

                                        a riddle  an uncertainty

That’s how you think.

You certainly don  Flat    Like a piece of paper

                                                   A good wind pickup youd be blown away

My sphere might roll My cube  Friction

                                          Itd take a helluva wind to move it

    What’s your point?

Of my sphere

“. . . the prose really liked that word the prose of Der Nachsommer Indian Summer reads like a catalogue of the Last Things, since everything in it appears under the aspect of death – or, as the case may be, of eternity.”

W G Sebald

               few lines earlier he wrote “. . . the uncanny nature [Unheimlichkeit] of time itself.”

    the uncanny nature of time

between the Last Things which he didnt believe

                                                     whoever is last would not know that they were and if he were they he would believe there was someone somewhere else on the planet

                                                                                   of death of eternity

what if

            ones does not ascribe to death being eternal

the Last Things and eternity  a languishing unknowable term  a hiccup   missing videotape  

suspicious

    times uncanny nature

 

what if

             why contend  entertain   hypotheticals

takes time

Youre thoughtful  Mindful

I am

You consider your thoughts hypotheticals

I don

You might understand why someone else might think they were

I can

        I vet

To put a point on the sphere  I investigate   Research

Ouch.

Jahuh  

He . . really said that?

He did

I can’t imagine.

actually he could imagine him sayin something of a kind had a proclivity to step in it put his foot in his mouth but he didnt say

Neither can I  Whas with the court system a no brainer

                                                          Undergraduate degree three years law school however many years to ascend to a judgeship where common sense seems either evaporated or whipped out of the system

Intercede  Take the kid away The boys grandmother has demonstrated the financial capacity to raise him the health an mental acuity not only to mentor him but see that hes educated properly

It’s her daughter’s husband.

Anshes terrified of her husband Refuses to challenge his word

                                                                  Understand hes a white Christian Nationalist Biblebanger Word of Godder

Idiot

     Hook line an sinker Corinthians chapter eleven line threeworse Ephesians fifth chapter line twentytwo

Ya got your phone  looksee

    Gimme a sec.

 

 

he started reading without saying

Hey  Woudya read it out loud please

Ohyeah. Sorry.

                   Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

sounded like he gulped

                    He believes that . . literally?

Literally

Why he misses the ironydon think thas taught in the Bible when he said he didnt aim to shoot his three year old
