Awright kids

              he was talking to his cats as they were at their plates chowing down breakfast

A day closer to warmth

Brisk this morning  Thirtytwo degrees

                                         Fuckin brisk

Yesterday morning  Thirtyfour

                                  Less brisk

Don ya wanna know tomorrow

No

Fallin back on therell be weather

I am Payin attention

                         Why I allow youkeep youse around

A day closer to warmth suffices

I woudnt have said it if it didnt

                                     This is our sixth winter declining to use heat

If I lived anywhere else I woudnt have attempted it

    Anwhy

Groping for my feral self

Refusing to feminise

Not feminise to knock womenGawd knows they crush men

Because they endure men

Expect thas probably scrawled graffitied inside of my skull

Scrawled

             Runs audio if ya happen to come near it

So youse not forget

I backed near it oncescared the shit out of me

Unlikely youll forget

Un  Likely

they laughed

it is good he and mariachi can share a laugh

when hes shared his notion of them with others they cant  understand 

                                                                                absorb

vacuous      mariachi  dreams

                             without      how are they getting through life

coming over the following weekend he took down her headboard

The wall looks naked.

Is tha a comeon  a line

she laughed

               No, I’m just saying. 

How long have you had it

Ohyears, lemme think.

                                 I think nearly seveneight years.

Not originally when I moved in.

I was looking for the right one.

Its an attractive headboard

It is, thank you.

Good taste

Thank you.

Youre welcome

a look came across her face

Wha

How to say this?

    Just speak

Alright.

         If we breakup woul . .

. . Put the headboard back

                               I woud

she smiled softly dimples dented  I did notice something.

                                                            Last weekend.

Our first weekend

It was.

         It was delightful I can’t remember another weekend to compare.

Are you flattering me

Can I flatter you?

No

No.

       I’m not.

Just tellin’ the truth.

they smiled

But there was something I noticed as you remarked about the headboard. Oh, that’ll never do.

                                                                                                    You seemed to mean something more than just the germane aspect of it.

sustaining his smile sustained hers

You are very perceptive

                            Another aspect of your being tha attracts me  compulsively

Are you flattering me?

Hilarious

             No

 

What is that something more I gathered?

Youre familiar with Shakespeares  Sleep is deaths second self

                                                                    Sonnet Seventythree

   That time of year thou mayst in me behold

I’m not.

Have you read his sonnets

I have not.

Well have to read them together

                                   Youll enjoy them

But unlikely as much as you enjoy me

Are you flattering yourself . .

. . I am

         he bellylaughed

  she joined him

amazing fuckin dimples                                        

 

What?

Jah

Wha

      Sleep is Deaths second self

Headboards remind me of gravestones

Stephen Miller Mother May I says:

                                   “To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

 

To all ICE & felon-pardoned January6 insurgents acting as ICE agents

                                                                          Millers federal immunity is not absolute

Why trustwho in their right mind would  a liar a propagandist
