they pulled the top down on the rental and rolled west on infamous U. S. Route 446 -- Its not infamous -- It is  Trust me -- Im gonna double check you -- I am not opposed to verification 

they were rolling to the coast the frothy cold blue Pacific -- Man what I would have given to get Annette Funicello into this water at a Beach Party and enjoyed the hell out of her obvious an oh-so-sensual goose chill -- Goose chill -- Im doing my best to be polite -- Youre at your best when youre not 

he loved their reparteetheir quick agile honed rapiers  though he loved best how they complimented each other  their ability to be warm foils perpetually propelling the other

Youre my Muse

Youre my Muse

        the past long long year they struggled separately and apart with unnamed undiagnosed maladies
they suffered unremarkable physicians doctors without curiosity

who nearly pushed her to beg

he barely resisted beating them senseless

she cautioned him You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar

Vinegar  I prefer it flies beget maggots  I dont like maggots   I dont think you do either

How you reason

A fault in my reasoning

No per usual your colourful analogies leave no recourse

A keen tidily-wrapped little package  he moved his hands worked his fingers before his scrutinizing eyes in tight spindly motions figure-8s cinches

Yes  You can stop

Idve been a muthafucker of a surgeon . .

. . for sure a muthafucker of something

I think I denote a slaver of sarcasm

Moi

I think a doubledip on a sugarcone

Ice creamCould we stop for ice cream

Though you have the slim advantage that I love you

How slim

A slaver slimsound familiar

they came up on a length of the 446 that overlooked the sea looked down into Morro Bay the northern beach curl that wound towards Cayucos  the coast was obscured clotted by more dips of marine layer than one hundred ice cream devotees could count

he was concluding another of his remarks  . . to complete the cycle

Whad you say

What did I say  Were you not listening(to be fair each was a gamble to talk to because they were given to flights of fancy spurred off of others remarks which labored anyone who talked to them also to remember what they had said prior)

I was trying   What did you say  Please

I said complete the cycle

he didntnever really follow the lyrics to songs  and typically if he did he didnt sing the right wordsthough to be fair  over the cacophony of throbbing guitars licks ferocious drumbeats it was hard to hear the words   then music for him was about the instruments the players  

                               Deacon Blues: drink Scotch whisky all night long   he thought the words were drink Jack whiskey all night long/and die behind the wheel                                  

but then he drank Jack Daniels so he would  wouldnt he.

he dug that Steely Dan shared his rousing affinity for the Beat Generation 

their name was short thrift of Burroughs over-sized steam-powered dildo Steely Dan III from Yokohama from his Naked Lunch

      an shame on any fuckin soul who hadnt cracked and breezed on it or dug in and read it in its the entirety  dug its twisted stratospheric hilarity

                          that said as a child he found Jack ‘n Jill hilarious too  and ludicrous

Jack ‘n Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water

Riiight

Sure they did

Jack ‘n Jill werent a tango step ahead of Dick ‘n Jane: “Look, Jane./Look, look./See Dick./See,see./Oh, see./See Dick.”  See Dick run See Jane run See Dick stop See Jane stop to see Dicks dick

A school primer? 

                                  

he often wondered if his mom and dad knew Dick and Jane and Sally and Spot were taught

those tales were among many wrong reasons he devoutly revered Taft Elementary School  grades K through 8th

  

That was appropriatehuh

 

                      nevertheless  this musing isnt so much about Steely Dan a dildo Dicks dick as it was about his relish of Irish Whisky(whisky: the missing “e” applies only to spirits distilled outside Kentucky or Tennessee -- Tennessee  a states name he refused to spell correctly -- he spelt it Tenneessee – an only for the fact that its doubled letters tickled him – for the same reason he spelt bookkeeping bookkeeppiinngg – he didnt have to spell it correctly for someone to grasp his intent his jest – anif his teachers wouldnt follow his humour he was adamant an refused to correct their obvious misspelling to save a miserable point or two against his academic grade – he assessed his grades were arbitrary  illegitimate  they were essentially only relative when used against the measure of an archaic standard that preceded his birth and which utterly magnificently refused his input or query – WHY would he submit to anything which despotically refused to account for his perception)

imbibing Irish whisky began as a lark  an joyful companiona congenial playmate to be nearer the story and share the disposition of the sumptuous characters who acted in Netflixs Peaky Blinders

                                                             an shame on any fuckin soul who hadnt tuned in to relish or consume the entirety of its thoroughly entertaining historical fiction based on the real Irish Peaky Blinders gang that evolved in England at the end of First World War

his Irish of choice became Clontarf as recommended by a visiting Irishman  Or Powers

Not Jameson

Not Jameson

The people drink Clontarf or Powers

while Clontarf duly became his choice while watching Peaky he also began having its companionship with his black coffees in the morning while he wrote sipped it with afternoon beers sipped it at night as he entertained his online politicals

they became fast buddies

he slept well

           he dreamt in technicolour in black and white in text in words inside balloons that floated out of speakers mouths he dreamt he was a poor caricature as was everyone and everything else inside cartoon illustrations he dreamt in stop-action dreamt of static images(coloured black ‘n white sepia) with voiceovers dreamt of labyrinths and was joyous he inside one because somehow he knew he was always going to find his way out

was he concerned he drank too much

it crossed his mind

but what also crossed his mind was that the Irish was a type of hybrid oil that wetted and loosened his gears and cams and donts and cants and winked and nodded to the riots he confided

it also crossed his mind that most of the films he watched were foreign and subtitled that he wrote at least six hours a day that he read while he walked and all of which could also lend a hand or credence to his dreamy night processions

and reasoned  that one time  drinking too much never again crossed his mind

Clontarf was as excellent a confidante as his partner

Mmumm(doubled letters  and a champagne) was the word
