nine oclock in the evening is unusually early for him

                                                             typically

isnt heading off for bed until the next day

brain churns

    he likens it to a blender  sixspeeds

                                            Stir  Puree  Chop  Liquefy  Grind  Pulse

but excisednegated Chop and Grind exercises

hes wet

last evening he concededthrew in the towel

                                             last evening was the tenth consecutive day of minimal sleep inhibited by nerve pain  shingles

maybe fourfive hours

                           maybe

    two refused to say that out loud  thought it

                                                                even thinking it it sounded forlorn  however

his masochist tendencies stitched pain forlorn  like a Varsity chenille letter  an applique

halted forlorn

                 which

is a very good thing a very fortunate thing

 

before turning in he opted for a hotbathnap if he was lucky

           

                                                                           he was not

laying in it he kept trying to see what he had printed on a piece of paper on his desk lefthand side top left of the paper

            two words

what what   what were those words

couldnt see them

probably why he didnt nap

that went on for an hour and a half

                                        two words  what were they

found out this morning

sunlight

disinfectant

 

he thought maybe the sunlight would help reduce the welts reduce the small blisters  soothe  smoothy him

    end result

in addition to the welts and blisters not diminished

                                                            sunburn

he had stood in the sunright arm uphand holding the back of his neck

                                                                            the book he was reading  Creation Lake

was mesmerising

nerve pains minimised the feeling of his skin burning

    What a yahoo.
