It’s 3:07.

Thank you

              Threeohseven is a crookedlookin number  aint it

How so?

Three zero rounded  seven like a togglehook a harpoon barb a fishhook

                                                                              Seven disturbs the three zero

That’s how you look at it?

I do  Threeohsix  Threeoheight

                                    Like baubles soap bubbles tumbling effortlessly before a soft blue breeze

shrugged

            You’re really into time.

I am  On a hustle

                     Busy as a bee working profuse weedflowers in an untouched field

Time

Day

Date

A couple a few bulletpoints  Im gold

                                        Memories of an event a discussion flood back

Im very fortunate

                      Although the ability I believe is uniquely tied to my very long long memory

I dazzle my parents

                       You were, what?two at the time?

You remember back to being two?

My parents said the memory I share withem was from when I was two

                                                                             I presumeem accurate

I was two

You have any idea why?

I do

Pain

     

         I wasnt two years old fell out of bed split my chin on the steel bedframe

Stitches

             Sittin on my Dads lap he pinned my arms with his held my head up an back while the doctor stitched my chin

No anaesthesia

I can still feel the sutures the needle entry exit tug when he knotted the surgical thread

Tha pain threw wide the doors which seem to have vacuumedup the moist leaves scraps agile tenacles reach of my remembrances

 

Thas why I ask you the time an thank you

                                                Youre helpin to contribute to the hoard

Apparently  Im a hoarder

they were talking about IQs

bummed him out

but boyohboy hasnt met an IQ test he hasnt taken

                                                     hes obsessed    Why do you do tha

You wouldn’t?

I don

If I pulled up an IQ test on my phone you wouldn’t take it?

Got tha right

Why?

If I was somehow tested in schoolwoud have been clandestine because Im unaware an scores were never shared

Im uninterested

Its unimportant

If the mean, if what is average intelligence is, say, onehundredten, you wouldn’t want to know if you are of normal intelligence or excee . .

. . Or not

Ive no interest

Like Popeye  I yam wha I yam

                                    Wha Ive been

You don’t think someone can improve their IQ?

Their intellect

                 No

Their IQ.

Arent they synonymous  mirror each other

It may stand to reason but I do not know for sure.

However you know IQs

Yes I do.

 

So while you were on the telephone earlier with your general contractor I imagined this scenario about you tha Id like to share

About me?

Definitely

              Youre in a hall in a mall  Fun huh

Knocking Tolkien?

Endlessly

               Cellar door my ass

But I digress

I’m in a hall in a mall.

Jah

         As you go up the hall it narrows a while then beyond you can see it begins to flare out again

Have tha setting

I do.

To your left is a smooth undulating uninterrupted wall

    Okay.

To your right is a series of doors like various shops in a mall an you can confirm the mall to look like anything you like Old West High Noon main street  I imagine Amsterdams Redlight district Prostitutes in lighted window displaying their wares backlit  desirable silhouettes

Blatantly spotlighted

I can see that.

I thought you woud

                         Now

Unlike me  Ive passed unseen behind you an continued up the hall to a particular window  door  asked if I coud enter  They agreed   I do

You however at the halls beginning at the first window first door you ask if you can enter  They deny you jerk their thumb down the hall tellya to move along

Anya went window to window door to door like tha many many times

                                                                          I watchedpeeking out of my doorway

I gave ya credit for askin

A few windows doors up from mine ya ask an they agree to let you in

                                                                             Just a few up from mine

Do you have any idea why you were going window to window door to door

I don’t.

laughed roguishly

                     You began at the onehunredthirtyfive IQ

Ambitious

But given my druthers

                              Delusional

We agree we have four dimensions.

Agree

Spatially, height, width, depth, time.

Without the function of time equations fail

Correct.

               And you’ve heard there are more.

Was it ten

Eleven.  There are eleven dimensions.

                                          But, apparently, we cannot enjoy seven, or know if we are.

Howbout a black fly

A black fly.

It a sense of space tha it artfully erratically breezes through a time element albeit unlike reading the hands on a clock a stopwatch a sense of a passage of time

                                                           Sunrise  Sunset

Woudya give it tha awareness

I would, I agree.

    Then it is not impossible given the extreme difference between us and an aerial insect  tha it may penetrate  enjoy  a dimension we cannot

Improbab . .

. . Babble  You cant say

                             An assumption not presumption based on some sort of knowing or evidence

It is possible

 

It is

Now

          A thought experimen . .

. . Hypothetically.

Jah    Now

               If a black fly enjoys an additional dimension then it is superior to human beings as the number five is superior to four

You think a bug is superior to human beings?

It is my understanding tha a cockroach woud survive a nuclear war but we woud not

                                                                                            Alive versus dead

Methinks alive is superior to deadbut no one knows wha dead is

                                                                         One of the eleven dimensions

I like supply chain

Because you can’t say the word . . . smoothly.

I struggle trip on its syllables but supply chain three syllables comes off the tongue better an they mean the same thing

Go ahead. Humor me. Say the word.

Cant humour you When I close my eyes an cant spell it cant see it   I cant pronounce it

I’ll spel . .

. . As a kid you pulled wings off flies used a magnifying glass to burn earthworms didntya

Please.

           It’s spelle . .

. . You didnt deny it

    It’s spelled  C  O  N  C  A  T  E  N  A  T  I  O  N.

Mines three yours is five

                            Spelled  C  O  N    C  A  T    E    N  A    T  I  O  N

A series of interconnected things or events

                                             An seein the US has fallen on its hubristic tock tick tock tick tock pocked face  Supply chain   Its superior to concat  con  cat e na tion

You’re still struggling.

I am  Supply chain

Rocked my world  asleep world

Name

Names Big Chips McGowan.

had been supersized

that  to say the least

                        was impressive

McGown too had the machine gun that originally been mounted on a heavy all-terrain vehicle supersized weighed a shit ton  six knobby robust wheels

                                                  Hell-on-HotWheels now sports a fiftyfive millimeter canon

no idea how many rounds persec it fired

                                            spaced with tracers it looked like a whip of light when automatic demon nightburps when bursts fired used to knock flying people out of the sky who were trying to escape

    they were not agile like birds

                                     as witness hed say akin to a more agile Kitty Hawk glider

dead men and women flying

     grim

 

but Big Chips liked slaughter

                          bellylaughed Got a quarter?  Fiftycent piece dollar coin would be better, quarter’s minimum.

hed give it a flip let it fall to the ground

Heads  Tails  Tails  Heads

One side psychopath

Other side sociopath

     We’re going to slaughter. Everyone who can’t stomach it and wants to leave . . . . run.

 

his foot was restless idled trembled

the rest of him was steadfast

mariachi whispered To stomach or not to stomach

                                                            Run an youre dead

Got tha right

bellylaughter sadistic   Man the palisades.

                                                            and as we did he roved side to side behind us in Hell-on-HotWheels manning the fiftyfive millimeter

 

he took a deep breath of quiet blue fresh morning air before the cordite before brutal ravaged meat before shrieks and screams and dead weight plummeted from the sky

What’s up?

              I let myself in.

he didnt turn from the typewriter to face himwas expecting himdoor unlocked continued to gaze ahead at the textured white wall beneath an abstract oil of a southern California sea harbour

                                                                                     Im lookin for another word

Maybe

                 Maybe

Although I possibly have the right one

    Need a synonym.

Perhaps  Jah

So an exercise in lateral thinking.

still facing the wall

                  No Synonyms are hierarchical

I think lateral.

turned to face him Ill shoot you in the foot if youll take it out of your mouth please

                                                                                       Ritual     Routine

Ritual towers over routine

No.

      On the same line, ritual, rite, liturgy, ceremony, practise, routine.

Attend church, attending a rite, might be rou . .

. . Woud be a poor comparison

                                     I believe practise an routine comparable

    If I think otherwise?

Think otherwise

                       Im not tryin to convince you

When writing I try for precision try to eliminate as much wiggle room as possible

                                                                                       Neuter equivocation

Shoot me in the foot. Neuter me.

Run with me run with a tough crowd
