Ah  a reprieve

              not masks for Trump virusNo he would continue to wear his till midJune at the earliest  recently he saw how people at the market reacted to him wearing his  he irritated themWhellShit they irritated him when the local market allowed people to enter unmasked if theyd been vaccinated and boosted OHhorseshitNo  NO THEY DIDNTa if confronted hed resort to his old standby

                                          Fuckya ifyacant take a joke

the reprieve he saw was in a restaurant bathroom timely  given that a Trump-appointed U S District judge Mizelle drizzle struck down the CDCs 2-week extension of the mask mandate head of the ABA – America Bar Association – Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary said that a majority of his group had deemed that Mizelle did “not meet the requisite minimum standard of experience necessary to perform the responsibilities required by the high office of a federal trial judge.” 

NO not that reprieve

                        the one posted in the uni-sex bathroom ALL EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HANDS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK 

                         didnt say shit about patrons

                                                        which helped explain his reticence to shake a mans hand when meeting him might as well shake his cock he may not have done that either

reprieves come in all manner of shapes colours and sizes

he opened his email account

evidently he emailed himself  Re: Confirmation

he didnt have to confirm himself  he was confirmation enough

was sitting in his studio by himself among others

                                                      they laughed with him a few at the back started singing Fools rush in where angels fear to tread Dorsey the bandleader vocals Sinatra  backslappinsnickerin abounding  Wha a peachwha a maroon   Yet people fall for it

the neighbour in the apartment next door rapped on the wall SORRY SORRY GOT CARRIED AWAY   IM SORRY

he often forget that they were his denizens  only he could hear their jabs knocks gibberjabber offcolour remarks they were more often than not

he sat back in his chair

deleted the email among many others

then deleted all of them from the Deleted Items box

                                                      once again freshscrubbed and clean like a babys bottom

Was a good joke he said aloud but the others had gone off to wherever it was they went

“How can you know the present without it first becoming the past in the future?”

he would keep an eyeball peeled for the thirdthings come in threes  or

                                                                            was he supposed to play a part in the trilogy

unlikely

he read watched the original of many but rarely their sequels Stallone broke him of that

past

present

future

             things come in three

Time is fascinating

hed be patient

             hed make like the small brown squirrel who joined him on the sidewalk  it came out of a wild stand of trees grasses weeds which bordered a creek

he thought he might be surprised but wasnt

                                             taking the book from his face he put a finger in it closed ittucked it in his armpit and walked beside the squirrel  he let it set the pace

                                                                      they came upon a narrow dirt path that veered and descended to the water  the squirrel in no particular hurry   it left him on the sidewalk

                                                                                                  he watched it mosey

it stopped threefour times  sat on its haunches  nibbled young grass clover fallen acorns  he watched it until it went around behind high grass

couldnt say he walked with a squirrel before

it was small

he assumed young

maybe it didnt know any better or maybe it did or maybe it didnt care

he thought it might reemerge 

he waited 

                waited awhile

the characters in the book he was reading grew restless they wanted to continue their story  he conceded   he went off with them

patiently however  he was going to keep his eyes peeled

Pity the Beast a book by Robin McLean

                                           he agreed with her human beings are beasts

his head bobbed emphatically as he walkedread her line on page 333  One person’s misery is another person’s pleasure.  had to stop to write it down

                                          then at home he realised he didnt have to jot the note it committed itself to his memory

there are mnemonic devise to help remember but this sentence horsed incleared the area surrounding itmade the place its own

         truth be known the sentence fired his recall of the fat orange Former No no not that he wanted   although his fingers were crossed a president not to lie in state at the Capitol   he deserved that

One person’s misery is another person’s pleasure. terribly true Former was terribly pleased  tried as hard as he could was ablyassisted by vile likeminded staff to satisfy his campaign his Cruelty Is the Point campaign which became the title of Adam Serwers book  he capably elegantly captured its essence

Edward faced him  looking east

                                   Ohman . .

he didnt have any idea what was over his shoulder but Edwards expression compelled himhe had to look

                                                                                                                Ohman he echoed

they looked out through the train window

That is a very old cemetery.

It certainly is

the headstones were tall some graves seemed welltended despite the thatch of brown grass scattered here and there polkadotted were vibrant coloured flowers too vibrant to be freshcut likely artificial

he didnt see visitors or mourners

How old is it do you think?

looking across the 101 he was familiar with stretches of it he caught a glimpse of storefronts saw the tripod walking eye water tower Gonzales painted on its side

                                            This is Gonzales  Push came to shove Id guess it was foundedits existence was tied to the railroad depot ranchland cattle other livestock agriculture Eighties Maybe earlier  Cemeterys better than a hunred years old

it was gone  passed   

he turned back to Edward

                            Yasaw it was fenced in

I did, yes.

To keep dogs coyotes out

Out?

Hellyah ya don want them in the graveyard digging up old bones nawh do ya

  Edward was Chinese his halting blink over the muslincoloured beige Trump virus mask was something to behold 

Are you kidding me?

Think it was built to keep the dead in

                                        Anticipating the Zombie apocalypse

Chinese eyes he didnt think they opened that wide

                                                       You’re teasing me?

Cemeteries in Ottawa fenced in he learned during their ride from San Jose Didiron Station that was where Edward was raised after his family immigrated from Taiwan

I do not know, I’ve never been, we have no family in Canada.

Theyre walled in in Chicago Got tons of family inside

                                                         Ya know    Catholic 

too wideeyed

              he couldnt keep looking at Edward was going to lose his shit

casually he turned his gaze through the window again

saw a handpainted sign on a rusted old flatbed truck

                                                        CA$H FOR COFFIN 

couldnt have seen that right

     

     blinked  looked                                                Ah that was better

                           CA$H FOR PALLETS

 

he was going to have to visit the cemetery

had seen the exit sign 310

not a quarter mile off the 101

  when he was a boy High Latin was served at Sunday Catholic Masses

                                                                             freaking mystical had he known the word at the time     

he accompanied his grandmother to church sucker

                                                     he didnt critically think through that

missed Flash Gordon serials airing those mornings on television  frankly to a boy that ought to have been grounds for sainthood  particularly when he later learned a man a Grand Inquisitor who lorded over tortures executions of heretics chronicling each and every victim maintaining lists of families and extended friendships  he was canonised a saint

    Dammit 

             Church suddenly wasnt worth the milk and homemade cookies he enjoyed afterwards

just didnt think it through

                           then  he was a boy

though the experiences were mesmerising

                                             between his grandmother whos native tongue was Polishwho managed broken English and Latin and from the altar and from the sober adults  their choreographed brisk stand ups sit downs on your knees chants hymns chubby hymnals all the proverbial RahRahs Go Team Go  he was rightfully awed by the strange nonsensical sounds emanating from adults throats

                                                              that and they  the humongous Christ crucified hanging behind the celebrant maybe He didnt learn his lessons either corporal punishment was a thing in Chicago schools  and to his fertile imagination there wasnt much of a leap between ruthless cracks on the knuckles times when he pulled his hand away in the nick of time and went to laugh he was cracked across the face with a wooden yardstickYAH there wasnt a leap between cracked knuckles spankings dunce caps and crucifixions

                                                                      NONE  ZIP

but he grew up

his sainted grandmother died  she was a peach plus

then he caught wind of Vulgar Latin  from vulgaris  from vulgus common people maybejust maybe  had Vulgar Latin been used to celebrate Mass an orgy or two might have broken out in the pews

                                                                             maybe that was a kind of church which might have allured him  

when he was young churches were left unlocked at night

                                                            he couldnt count the times during winter he took girls inside to make out  it was warmer 

                            he notched up degrees

only got caught once

didnt know the young outraged priest

might have been a good thing

                               “Now turn to your neighbour and extend a sign of piece.” Pax tecum Piece be with you

Yeah baby yeah!!!

She thought you were a woman Yare wearing a baseball capChrist almost hides your haircut

That’s what she said.

You said something to her

I did, I asked if she meant it as good or bad.

Yare not sayin

No.

No Curious  Its your mindyour thought process  One would think youd know

Trying to squeeze me?

Squeeze youyafuckin kiddin me

                                  Its your mind  Not knowingnot saying doesnt cut it

Awright, rather I should have said I’m feeling squeezed, feeling set upon.

Too damn bad Thats unfortunate ridiculous

                                               Yasaid one I don’t have to deal with it.  Yasaid two  I don’t want to think about it.

An I told you to replace think with work, I prefer . . I don’t want to work about it. 

No Work doesnt work not grammatically correct

                                                   Work isnt required works not involved Don try to make it sound laborious  It isnt

It isn’t according to you.

  Woudya stop

                 Seems to me yare tossing a coin Don have to deal with it Don want to think about it For someone whos concerned about their mental acuity brain function their memory as you purport I believe thinking about what yare doingyour decisions would be criticalwould be beneficial ifya challenged yourself to be mindful Instead ya hand it off to electronics let the gas company electric company mortgage company other entities help themselves to your bank account and trust they wont fuckup

                             They fuckup their fuckups usually benefit them an because yare so casual about it yamay or may not find their mistakes You in business of making interest-free loans to businesses who eventually on your dime on your time will admit Oops So sorry

I don’t want the hassle. I don’t want to write a check, have to find an envelope, a stamp, walk to the mailbox . .
