the shit he didnt know

it was sobering


it was so sobering that he felt the gears in his jaw ratchet down forcing his mouth closed so he didnt bray his ignorance

he wasnt concerned with making an ass of himselfNo 

his concern was making an ass of himself before someone who knew better 
but wouldnt correct him

how else can you learn if not by mistakes and then corrected by an invaluable aide


he wasnt immodesty

he knew he didnt know it all



Sobering


he was listening to Painkillers One-Eyed Pessary
                                        Whaddafucks dat? he was thinking peccary  javelina  shunk pig  read of it as a kid it hunted in the Amazon basin and eaten as a stew with manioc bread(his mind retained weird shit)(manioc -- too cool and close to maniac -- though it seems now to have lost its favor and is called cassava or yucca)(he really liked that it had to be cooked properly to detoxify it -- nothing like adventures while cooking -- fugu fish fascinated him but fascinating him more was that fugu ranked Second among the Worlds Most Dangerous Foods Second to hot dogs which choked small children to death with alarming frequency -- hence the Darwin Awards)(which he argues Texas Representative Louie Gohmert* (who believes that gays shouldnt be launched into a fictitious outer space to save the Earth -- only heterosexuals -- forgetting apparently only heterosexuals breed gay people) who lacks only the credential of being dead not to assume its festooned mantel) 

(I cant begin to tell you all the boithday wishes Ive kissed off exhausted blowing out candles on my cake for Louie(not even Louis or Lewis) to dominate his fellow contestants stand head and shoulders above them and usurp his Darwin --
if Drumpf** can tout his Foreign Policy chops because he ran the Miss Universe Pageant in Russia -- whos Louie to hold out on me? when he could step up easily and make a boys dream come true)

pessary: a small soluble block that is inserted into the vagina to treat infection or as a contraceptive or an elastic or rigid devise inserted into the vagina to support a prolapsed uterus or assist urinary incontinence

why didnt he know that an IUD (intrauterine devise) is also called a pessary

Gawddamn  someone could have thrown him a curve and ordered it as a sauce for his pasta  it was soluble smaller in diameter than a lethal hot dog which may be akin to the murderous trees that stand across America waiting for their opportunity to whack an unsuspecting biped


the shit he didnt know

but loved finding out

he had no trouble conceptualising

what he had trouble with was the detours that occurred to him in route


to another it might be a skirt or Pretty! or Sparkly!

but concepts were rendered in words and their words collided as if at a childs bumper car ride careening and juxtaposing each arrested physics seeking to derail his concentration


since he was a child he had to quiet his mind remove anything from his line of sight that might distract his attention

he wasnt good at ignoring the minute lures that luridly provoked his mind and hyperbolically tossed him aside askew or inside out

it was profound what little bit it took to steal him away



Yaknow  Souls have shadows

Excuse me you said

I said souls have shadows

And what would make you say that

Just now just around the corner under the apricot tree as I filled the watering can from the upright spigot spiked in the yard Looking down past the rising water in the can I saw on the ground the shadows of the apricot branches and leaves shaking gently overhead then suddenly inbetween them I saw a hummingbirds shadow alit You know how few hummingbirds there are this year So I turned the water off and looked up to see the little guy There wasnt a hummingbird in the apricot I stood completely upright looking for it but I never did see it I returned to filling the can and again the hummingbird shadow reappeared I immediately looked again Again nothing So as I topped off the can again the shadow reappeared and standing the can filled in my hand I looked again Nothing
And thats when it occurred to me
Souls have shadows

Thats a leap

Not really  Last year we had nearly four dozen birds at five feeders Youll recall I was refilling them everyday They were going through more than a gallon nearly a gallon and a half of sugar water a day

I found two dead birds during the summer The neighbors cat took another that we know of  

This year I havent seen a halfdozen together at once

But that shadow appeared on the ground at my feet three separate times


Im gonna pay attention
Ill bet Ill see it again


See the shadows of souls

Dont make light of it

Our roommates are indistinct
Isnt it possible were seeing them as shadows rather than seeing their ghosts


I hadnt thought of that

I hadnt thought of it either until now

Something to consider

I suppose it is



Ill keep my eye peeled  My watering is a kind of ritual If its present I wont miss it


Well let me know

I will
     Im a little anxious
