Hmmm he mused Learn something new every day 

                                                        socio-sexual hierarchy 

he thought itbut didnt saydidnt put it out into the ether 

                                                         could hear his daughter  Papa, whenever you think, Is that a thing? know that it is.

his learning came on the heels of a title of an articlehe didnt read Who is a sigma male? on MSNBCs tattleteller snitch format that presented when he signed out of Outlook  sigma male? cisgender?whadafuck 

                                                                                                 tuurned out the socio-sexual hierarchy is apexed aped https://www.facebook.com/ZooATL/videos/sound-up-to-hear-a-few-common-gorilla-vocalizations/336795330859701/  aped inside the pyramid by alpha  however equal to alpha though outside the structure is sigma  returning to the hierarchynot necessarily a ladder is beta delta gamma  all who squat on omega

how had he been alive this long without knowing there was a hierarchy 

                                                                             could suppose ignorance was bliss 

or he was good with his fists

   unable to resist he telephoned his daughter 

                                                  Hey baby

Hey Papa, what a nice surprise . . what’s up?

I love you

        I’m waiting for it.

Waitin

Yes. he could imagine her nodding

   Did you know that that was a thing . .

. . There it is!That’s my boy! 

                               What’s the answer?

   Thawhen I wonder if something is a thing I ought to understandaccept  it is a thing

Yes. 

     Seeking confirmation?

   Yay

Consider yourself confirmedIve known since college freshman year.

You coud have said

What? 

        And missed this telephone call? Sigma is equal to an alpha, although prefers being a lone wolf, a mavericksound like anybody you know Papa?

Yayyay

Come across like it . spare me.

   Me

Yay.

Yay Is tha complimentary

Not necessarily, but it works for you . . think . otherwise your hard knocks wouldn’t have served you, would have been for nothing.

 

Papa?

Excuse me

              Was thinking

Now you’re thinking.

Yay Usually I react . .

. . Yathink?  she laughed gleefully 

                                     You’re a real peach, Papa.

A peach

Yay.

Maybe thas why I called

Fishing?

Nah

Nah, that’s not your style.

Google Pixel with Magic Eraser  

Making Life Superficial 

                            You writing copy?

he read what he wrote under his breath 

                                            answered  Its almost poetic 

It reads like advertisement.

   he read it again admitted it did

You really take issue with technology . . 

. . When it can lead us around by the nose I do I find its coarsely he cleared his throat convenience  superfluous . .

. . Unnecessary.  To you. 

                            However people gobble this stuff up.

Honestly I couldnt sayI don know I practise ignorance

Yet you have an acclaimed issueagain . with ignorance.

I do Albeit that ignorance is when someone talks through their hathas little knowledge  though just enough to be dangerous 

            Superficial knowledge

Making life superficial.

Yes

So what do you mean?

I mean lifes a clusterfuck the good an bad knead together  To prettify it to excise erase is a fabrication Its equivocation dishonest 

            It is furthur evidence that one cannot believe their eyes Were visual animals anwhen technology an eraser is deployedId rather see a word struck with a line than it erased when deployed were blinded

                                                                                                  I understand someone thought they were being very clever But cheats tend to be clever CG is clever However   Dishonest

You think entertainment is dishonest?

It isnt creativewe exercise someone elses creativity 

                                                     Im not saying it doesnt have a place however if while drifting with it we don drill downwork to understand it can be negligible it becomes part of our experienceour memory an remembering artifice we are not accurate were lying to ourselves

Which . you tirelessly acclaim is the worse lie to tell.

Yes

   Are you going to keep up this ignorance?

Until the day I die until the day I die

how prevalent is fear

she would have preferred it be a rhetorical question it was not

one answer she thought ridiculous 

                                      create your own smart house

she surmised

                create your own prison  

a house surveilled inside and out  its working accessed remotely  it working like an algorithm selfsufficient

a house is not a self

                       that house is not a home

a smart house reveals how fearful its tenant is  they believe what they have is worth stealing they surrender the advantage of knowing their houses guts so if an intruder breached they wouldnt have the sense of outrage to defend what is theirs  defend their family to the death

at home she treated people like vampires she had to invite them inside  

                                                                           if they entered uninvited they ought to know they were playing for all the chips

could suppose she was smarter than brick and mortar

the compound lights are on again 

bleaching his solitude 

                       offendingtainting his quiet soulful realisationrelationship with the dark 

as a boy he was frightened by itsure that things lived in it ugly things  malevolent fearsome things 

                                                                                                           monsters

yet 

    for some ungodly reason

unquestioning 

                  he defied frightconfronted it  defeated it 

and vanquished 

he doesnt fear Fear

   it like cancerous jealousy has no coinno influence over him

he can see it crawlround him spiderous slick vilebugs  unspeakable detestable things

   watching  he sees what few others can or want to see                                                                 

fearful of the dark  the night  the unseen 

                                            so fires lights are lit   electrically burn 

   but when they cease  failWhat 

                                     then 

he is armed with silent weapons that dont need reload

he can see in the darkisnt hobbled by fear

   not a betting man  he would bet on himself to survive the shroud

                                                                         he can point all he wants
