You want to close out the day on a bummer?

Its a righteous bummer

                                    No

I do not

What have you got?

Wha can I makeup

    Sure. What can you makeup?

 

Gimme a sec

 

 

Marijuana edibles hash rosin  now legal in California

Yes.

Let me say this

                  When my first baby was a little baby and we were immortal

 

Id put her down at night knowing I had three hours before shed be up again to be changed fed her bottle and mosey dance around the livingroom in my arms to soft piano music

Not many years ago she told me that she had no idea why but if she listened to piano music  evenings  she got sleepy

I told her why

Ah, she said, that makes sense. Thank you.

 

But as I was saying

                          We were immortal

I had three hours

Despite telling my wifeher corporate job ran her place to place she implored me not to  I told her I woudnt  but I did  I got high and read and noted and wrote  wrote letters  journaled

                                                                                   Knowing full well then

that a toke on a bong was like sipping winewho has one glassnot me  Im not a fan  Like having a couple shots and beers

However authorities atrocious baleful as they wereare likened marijuana to heroin  a Schedule One drug

    Assholes

They had my wifes ear

She listened to them not me

                                      Me

Who she knew had years and years and years of drug use under my belt in my rearview mirror

    Drug laws ought to have been written by experts  not expert cunts

My little baby grew up

My other little baby grew up

 

Sorrowfully 

Before leaving home for college 

I had to disabuse them of our immortality

                                                  What you got

Ms Good is dead  and known

finally her shooter is identified  revealed  Jonathan Ross

does he remain free  at-large  on his own recognizance

is Mr Ross a Federal agent  subject and liable to Minnesota law  he ought to be

his enablers DHS FBI DOJ ought to answer questions honestly  not shoot from the hip and bray and accuse Ms Good of being a domestic terrorist  some believe they are

Get out of the car.

Why? Ms Good may have asked  What did I do wrong?

time again to exercise his hard-on for televised drug advertisements teeming with brightlydressed sufferers riding bicycles playing tennis walkingdamn near skipping swimming picnicking horseback riding . . .awfully fucking happy

                    particular ones he cant SKIP

Rinvoq

rheumatoid arthritis among other illnesses

See your rheumatologist.

Once upon a time he did

they disagreed

theres at the time thirteen markers

the physician asked Yes or No

he answered  and watched him mark Yes when he said No

at the conclusion of the oral quiz the doctor bullrushed himdefinitely suffering rheumatoid arthritished make a prescription available for him after he went to the hospital to fulfill labs to establish baselines

                                                                                     One chubby second bucko

got the physicians attention

Regarding the thirteen markers  How many yeses did you record

he looked at the form

                             Ten.

You marked them incorrectly  I answered yes three times

No. he said  I recorde . .

. . Incorrectly

Baselines for wha

    For your organs.

Why

The prescription I’ll provide you sometimes damages . . organs.

I shoud take a medication to contend with my pain at the risk of damaging my organsis this a cancer drug

    cleared his throat  It is.

 

 

Rinvoq

          as side effects were cautioned at the bottom of the screen he PAUSEd the advertisement and wrote them down on a legalsized lined yellow paper pad verbatim

                                                                 . . . serious infections, blood clots, some fatal, cancers, including lymphoma and skin; serious allergic reactions; gastrointestinal (GI) tears; death; heart attack; and stroke occurred . . .

he coudnt remember a time where he read death as a subset lost in a word maze of side effects

he thought thought correctly death; serious infections, blood clots . . .

                                                                 ought to be at the top of the heap

deaths awfully tough to treat

I went out for my walk today. his father said he had called his father rarely calledrarely called back when he left a voice message on his landline

                                           no cell for Daddy-O

Chicago winters arent as brutal as they were when he was a kid

his father talked about a neighbor he runs into frequently who walks their dog

                                                                                    Their eyelashes are beautifully long.

Your neighbours

    My neighbor’s a gentleman.

His eyelashes are beautiful

The dog’s.

Theres nothing wrong if you find your neighbours eyelashes are long an beautiful

The dog’s.

The dog is male

The dog is a girl dog.

The bitchs eyelashes are beautifully long

You ought to see them, they’re gorgeous.

    Happy we settled tha

                                     Have to tell you

That was disturbing, son.

Disturbing

               How so

That my neighbor would have beautiful eyelashes.

If he did  woudya tell him

No.

Woudya think tha gay

No.

So you woudnt compliment him if he did

You were telling me you had something to tell me. equivalent to a pilot ejecting from a crippled aircraft

Yes

     Yesterday afternoon I was driving over to a local lake to walk around it bout a mile with a friend

Went to make a right but as I did an old man with a walker an old dog on a leash walked out in front of me

    Didnt bother to look

Maybe he didn’t hear you.

You wear your hearing aid when you walk

I don’t.

Then maybe he didnt hear me  He appeared a contemporary of yours

                                                                           Not as goodlookin  Or beautiful ifya prefer

Oh my, thank you for saying so. ignored the bait

Youre welcome

                     Crossing behind him I rolled the window down and called to him    Mister

Excuse me

he stopped doddered hafwayround eyeballed me oneeyed

Whos walkin who

He didnt say

Turned back to his walker the dog pulled at their leash off they moseyed not a care in the world

You walk like you havent a care in the world Dad

I haven’t a care.                  

                      Although, I have an appetite.

celebrate

small things

simple victories

say untying knots

barehandedhis nails cut  exceptionally  short

the waistcords of two pair of sweatpants were knotted by his nemesis

                                                                           haste makes waste

he tolerates them because he has no choice

he was being hasty

                      Jah

there are times when he has to tolerate himselfFuck

                                              Screwed the pooch again

he knotted the sweatpants over successive days a couplethree weeks ago

emotions had gotten the better of him

                                             that was his excuse

his reason

             he should have slowed down and frustrated not have yanked so hard

cotton cords cinch easily

also  because they are cotton was his saving grace this morning when he decided to finally hunkerdown and contend with them

hed tried prior haphazardly 

was turned away

cotton knew he was insincere

not one to be bested by a stubborn inanimate object he returned to the task this morning

    and is now  celebrating
