she was like an electrical cardidnt hear her  rather felt her presenceher pressure coming at his left in the parking lot

he lookedup out of an engrossing bookthough not engrossing enough to bringdown his array of sensories he deployed as he read and walked

Hello!

Hiya

        she was still coming at him on a line Howya doin

           she was right up on him  perspiring   she tugged her at her cleavage with one longfingered hand

Ofcourse yes extending his hand  Or Joe

she caught herself  I’m so foolish, excuse me. I’m Claudia. she took his hand then held it with both hands  I’m so pleased to meet you.

                     I love your example. When Teri, my daughter, mentioned that you walked and read, I have to admit, we laughed, grabbed a book, and headed outside. 

We aren’t coordinated enough.

Not necessarily Practise  Ive been walkingreading since I was a boy Thas wha happens went only literature was allowed to be read at home My scifi hardboiled novels James Baldwin had to be read outside the house

                                                                                                              Hence

So a real reader.

he laughed

            Guilt as charged

Teri’s going to lose her mind that we spoke.

I hope youll practise 

                      Though wouldnt mind running into you

she winked

That was sweet

Sshhh  Im usually the winker   Beat me to it

                                             he chuckled

I’m not usually forward, but I’m enthralled, I’m bursting inside, Teri’s going to lose her shitexcuse me. she blushed

she blushed deeper

Claudia the colour looks good on you

                                                   she giggled and walking away continued to giggle

he watched her shouldersher fanny  she looked back at intervals a couplethree times 

she sounded like the brook he sat beside as a kid

                                                      when he read Candy

That’s the end, little girl

Let this be a sermon

I mean everything I’ve said

Baby, I’m determined

And I’d rather see you dead

                               he rocked the chairup on its two hind legs

You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand, little girl

Catch you with another man 

That’s the end

                 Little girl. she sangturning the volume on the radio waydown   That’s really grim.

he sang

Joan was quizzical studied pataphysical

Science in the home

Late nights all alone with a test-tube

Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine

Calls her on the phone

Can I take you out to the pictures Joan

But as shes getting ready to go

A knock comes at the door

Bang banghe clapped hard to the bangs startling her Maxwells silver hammer

Came down upon her head

Bang bang clapping again Maxwells silver hammer

Made sure she was dead

                               he cleared his throatwasnt much of a singer  unlike her Maxwell also kills a judge a man

Pataphysical?

Intricate whimsical nonsense intended as a parody parry  of science

Pretty violent songs.

Pretty violent time Lennon refused to play on Maxwells Silver Hammer  Antheres Helter Skelter Mansions gang At the nearly forgotten LaBiancas home on the refrigerator Healterspelled H E A L T E R  Skelter painted in their blood

Violent time

First time youve listened to the words

I absently listen to the Beatles.

Turned into elevator music

                             Shoudave shot whoevers idea thawas in the head

                  he grinned

she freed her arm from the sheet slapped him on the shoulder

                                                                 You!

he flipped the sheets off of her

                                she laid naked on her right facing him one long arm under his head her knees drawn up

he thought from above shed look like precious curl perfect curves  rounded where a woman ought to be round

You’re staring.

his Curiosity was picking on him again

                                         he balledup his fist Why doncha pick on someone your own size               

Cuz I don’t want to. Yawanna make something of it?

Classic fucking bully

                     Whadaya want

What you want.

                  Catacomb breezed through your brain and you wondered, albeit briefly, about the prefix cata-.

Yes I did

Early Greek was kata-. Cata- is its Latinised form. Means down, downward, occasionally against, such as catapult, or wrongly, catachresis Thas a humdinger  It is – use of a word in a way that is incorrect, to stone someone with bricks, you'll dig this, from the Greek katakhresis, spelled K A T A K H R E S I S, misuse of a word, from katakhresthai, spelled K A T A K H R E S T H I A, also to misuse, though with a sense of . . wait for it . . . perversion.

You do love me

Hushit . . you were just bellyaching about me bullying you . .

. . I didnt say . .

. . You thought it.

DAMN  

   To continue . . its adjective is catachrestic, some of its synonyms are ignorant, uneducated, benighted Thas a humdinger  It is – the state of pitiful or contemptible intellectual or moral ignorance.

The current catachrestic Republicans

I must love you.

Thank you

             Anything else Curiosity

For your edification.  

shehe heshe paused

I know what edification is Im not a Republican

Curiosity bellylaughed

                        You? Not you, you knew better as a punk.

Katabasis.

   Got me Im curious

Descent to the Underworld, where you would be judged by a three-god tribunal, they being Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus.

Minos king ruler of Crete

Good.

Rhadamanthus also king of Crete

Good.

Aeacus king of the island of Aegina 

                                       All three were sons of Zeus by different mothers 

Zeus got around

Curiosity laughed heartily again 

                                   See why I hang with you?

A question.

Yes

Anabasis?

Id say since katabasis or kata basis descent to the Underworld Then prefix an-  also a-  meaning no not without absence of 

             Therefore ascent from the Underworld

Look at you.

                Lastly, if you ain’t feeling bugged . . or bullied . .

. . Woudya let tha go . .

. . When you quit thinking it of me.   Can you do that?

I can I was being abrupt . .

. . You were curious. Hence.

Correct My apologeez

Apologeez accepted.

                        Nekyia, spelled N E K Y I A, nekyia.

Nekyia

Right up your alley, both meanings.

   Hint

Tough.

        A hint I believe would just give it away.

Jung.

BAM

Knew it.

He believed it was ones inner journey into their unconscious to heal oneself from past wounds

May I share the second?

Hellyah Im curious

An as Curiosity, my job, the practise of questioning ghosts . .

. . I got them . .

. . You do.

            Or gods or the dead about the earthly future.

Awesome

Thought you’d like that.

                             Well . . thank you for entertaining me, we’ve done good work.   Go have a beer.

Read my mind

Curiosity burst out laughing 

                                  You crack me up.

I ain’t going anywhere for a long time.

Id appreciate tha

he really reallyreally liked Xplosions

                                       not like BOOM BOOM in The Death and Life of Bobby Z

but Xplosions

               he wrote it Xplosions now after he and two buddies survived that one as kids  they made bombs together and that big one was the last he participated inhe couldnt vouch for them he did it as a lark they were somehow invested and at the time they needed a third to help procure ingredients 

                                                                            IT WAS SUMMER

   so  besides the public pool that consumed a good amount of his time he learned how to hold his breath for nearly two minutes watching girls lose their swimtops jumping off either of the two one-meter boards or between them the three-meterGUARANTEED TOPS TO THEIR CHINS  

                                                so he had vagrant timeslots in his day to fill  

the bomb blew his shoes offtattered his pant legstossed him heels over head over heels over head some twentytwentyfive feet from a depression in the ground where a sledding hill for winter was being “built” at the Public Park

they werent idiots

                   they werent trying to kill anyone

speaking for himself

he was curious

                 and to be a part of the KA-BOOM was terribly exciting

it was exciting to do something wrong that he knew coudntwoudnt speak for them  was wrong

took them nearly the entire summer vacation to acquire the ingredients

they made the local newspaper POLICE LOOK FOR BOMB SUSPECTfront page not the crappy Neighborhood News at the back with Want Ads The Classifieds the Horoscope  

it occurred to him they were years ahead of IEDs improvised explosive devise

                                                                                he wondered if the other guys thought so  they were dead now  anyway he bitched enough for the three of them that theythey were the Fathers of IEDsSTOP

Stop  No  British coined it during the Northern Ireland conflict   when it became common American parlanceDUH 

it was an asymmetrical war

                              the United States should haveprobably did expect that when they forewent the Worlds hand to help them bring terrorists to justice  combine their Intel      

War and Justice are not the same thing

we did nothing more than pour gas on the fire

he truly anticipated their standard elementary school first written paper What I Did During My Summer Vacation.

then he thought

his hands were tied

he couldnt remember what he wrote as disappointed and deflated as he was  

he was pretty sure it was awfully shitty

usually he was an enthusiastic storyteller too 

                                                 his reputation preceding him

he spun this off watching a French movie dubbed in German with Japanese subtitles

his brothers return address then was MWHS-1 AMD HYD FPO San Fran, Calif. 96602NO miffed him wasnt good withdidnt like at all acronyms

he asked his brother but he couldnt remember

                                                 more likely it was him being the kind of guyor perhaps perhaps it was the military  it abbreviates virtually everything

his brother was the kind of guy who did what he was told

NTK basis  need to know

he didnt need to know

he didnt want to know

he was incurious

which was desperately unlike him

he didnt listen to anyone

The sky’s blue.

he went outside to see for himself

Its azure

          the colour between cyan and blue on the spectrum of visible light

pushing a bit forward as was his way he provoked on the RGB colour wheel assholes Red Green Blue an additive model colours are created through light waves added together in particular combinations to produce colours azure is created by adding 50% of green light to 100% of blue light

but he digresses

took him about ten minutes to learn on-line via GOOGLEhe was getting good a researchreference work  honing his entry abilities  

he learned what the acronyms his brother thoughtlessly wrote meant

Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 1  Air and Missile Defense  Hydraulics  Fleet Post Office  San Francisco, Calif. 96602

Fleet Post Office handled military mail for Okinawa Japan  Japan in general

in the letter he wrote hed been in Osan Korea 4 ½ days and 4 nights sounded like the makings of a movie said the country was pretty bad off  only 45% were employed  What we’d call hookers never had never did Korean’s call working girls, thier are about 5,000 working girls in Osan. Boy-oh-Boy. What a selection.

                                                                               he selected Sue  24   later he selected Pa

said he had a helluva time

he knew his brotherthey were best friends

                                             it didnt get any better than one helluva time

Whoawhoa had to write this down

                                      reaching for the pen tucked behind his ear he fumbled it

it clattered on the sidewalk

leaning over to snatch it off the concreteheard a queer sound to his right mind whispered Animal vegetable mineral

Hold your tongue knaveDisrespect he spoke too soonknew better than shoot from the hip  five kingdoms of life animals plants fungi bacteria protists  latter includes all the single-celled forms that are not bacteria

   he heard life living

still bent over he looked rightlooked through a chainlinked fence he was face to face it cringed  therefore he had to accommodate a faceness a sunflower   bent over as he was

he slowly straightened

it mimed him

stood completely upright  six-one

Im not anxious

   So you cant  secureyourself easily  against the dangers of being free
