18.7.15

All things come to he who waits



he never plotted revenge

though he had taken it

the plotting  planning  seemed psychotic


No
All he did was remember

he stuffed it uncomfortably in his memory
and inevitably
                        whenever that time presented itself
he was on it like old stink on shit

cold  ghastly    their Recompense
                                                      a grey retarded ember given a whistle of air and dry tinder
spasmodic



nursing his wounds afterwards

soaking his battered hands in a bucket of ice and water
chewing on a frigid washcloth to bide his broken lips and bitten tongue

his afterwords
                        slipped like the clear water over the broken ice   sparkling    and refreshing                                     
he saw the original injury again  hyperreal    saturated      steeped
he saw again his latent action
                                                  and replied  Bobby said  All things come to he who waits
Bobby said the quote was from the Bible
It wasnt  but Bobby always gave the Bible too much credit

But  he supposed  
                              when youre born crippled up and perhaps should have died   got Last Rites
something ought to get credit
Bobby couldnt take it

the lil beast was in survival mode

17.7.15

back again to Bierce's Devil's Dictionary



Heritage:
                that thing which allows dead people to override and dictate ones worth value and actions.

As operative in FOXs soundbite: “Heritage, not Hate”


think again



                    not everything is meant for a bumper sticker   least of all     human beings



1900,  Friday,  17  5. 15
theyre flying Johnny Reb again from the bed of their pickup  --  private property 



Listening to The Crutch  Gil Scott-Heron sang
                                                 Call Yama
which grabbed his attention yanking his head around like a handful of hair pulled
he had to look that up 
                                                                                                                 
earlier that evening over dinner he and his grrlfriend were talking about the roasted seasoned jicama and Brussels sprouts they had prepared as sides to their barbecued ribeyes

jicama is also called a yam bean
which without failhe pronounced yambean  singular as determined and willful as when he flipped eggplant onto its nom de plume  aubergine

yambean and aubergine
so fucking esoteric                                                                                                                                         
theyd eat anything that sounded strange  or was

 
and had



Yama is the Vedic god of death
                                 a wicked dark three-eyed cat surrounded by curling red flames gilded by gold riding either a dead man or a slick green serpent whose googly eyes appeared to wish the fat man would get off his back  but without arms to heave Yama headlong it followed his headdress decorated with grinning skulls into the void swirling like discontented smoke beyond the harshetched fire  it submitted and writhed under Yamas formidable weight

a fearsome god
  
if one bought into goddie things relics and coopted sacredness



he had a place in his heart for the Sacred
    
a place big enough to hold a cave
                                   the Chauvet Cave discovered in the late 90s in Ardèche valley of southern France
   
Chauvet is prehistoric 32,000 to 30,000 BP(years Before the Present when radiocarbon dating methods are used and distinctly refuse to pander to Christianitys BC AD BCE and CE which can obviously get in the way of Sacred
Oh yes  please dont forget to provide your Holy tithe at the door before you leave)

there was nothing more sacred in his mind than the Chauvet Cave  inhabited by Man and cave bears

its wall are painted depicting lions mammoths rhinoceroses bison reindeer horses red deer ibex Megaceros deer aurochs musk-oxen panther and owl

scientific testing has determined that the cave was frequented at two different periods  five thousand years apart

the human beings who returned in the second period left torch marks and charcoal on the ground

fire

Sacred


he counted his lucky stars 
they had the bittersweet fortune to witness and realeyes several Native Indian sites of pictographs across California

all had been defaced  defiled  by Johnny-Come-Lately lily-white men  as is their habit

Chauvets only apparent despoiling is a prehistoric childs footprints across its floor



he wondered if Yama inveighed might have stayed those big strong pioneers hands
                                                                                        which feebly  in retrospect werent
and were more like raping and pillaging hands of pirates

  
Vedic  nothing
                    no god needs wings to appear and slain
