he nodded

            this was going to be a leap of faith  he didnt believe

Whastha called

                 so he did what he did at the dentist when procedures ran longer than the painkillers he was administered

               went slackgelatinous laid his hands flat on his thighs dimmed his vision to Zero  deliberated concentrated  on his breath

Maybe this cat wasnt full of shit

despite his inclination otherwise

May I continue

Knock yourself out

I said a dream is not a dream to itself

                                            If I understand correctly you rarelyif ever have recurring dreams

I cant think of one

You dream of strangers

Terribly unusual if I dream of someone I know

Although on occasions youve had people you know appear incognito

Disguised

            Yes

Your dreams tend to be cinematicsaid  In technicolor

Correct

However also in blackanwhite   Also in text and have to read

Yes

       Ive also had subtitled dreams dialogues appear in wordbubbles  as in comicbooks

And youve had completely animated dreams characters acting in scenery

Disneyesque RenanStimpyesque  yah

Dreamt staticstationary imagery  Like snapshots photographs paintings 

Grafitti

Scrolling chyrons

Burma Shaveesque yah  Onea couple words  Blackprint on white or viceversa

I began a dream is not a dream to itself

nods I heard you

Episodes that appearthat are revealed to you have erstwhile precedent  continue after you wake

Or after it ends an another begins  

Awright

           Have you ever consider conceived  that youre a portalthat the reason you havent recurring dreams  everyones a stranger  is because having been dreamed youve freed them

That theyre out in the world

In the world or some other world

    Yah

          I coud get behind tha  An interactive voyeur

Ohbrutha  can see the writing on the walls   an it aint graffiti

                                                                    possible  a clever coup

Project 2025 denies that its effort is for Donald Trump

pullquote

           The TWENTY-FIFTH AMENDMENT was an effort to resolve some of the continuing issues revolving about the office of the President; that is, what happens upon the death, removal, or resignation of the President and what is the course to follow if for some reason the President becomes disabled (insanity) to such a degree that he cannot fulfill his responsibilities.

the machinations incentive to accept the mantle as formers Vice-President after he threatened Vice-President Pence with a noose might be the Twentyfifth Amendment and also not have to spend money or time to run a campaign to win the Presidency

    perhaps a nod to some sharp savvy cookie

assassinhands of the clock

    see the old man

hes been every tick of every clock of every time-enslaver since he was born

a coolie

        a kuli-slave  deaf slave    deaf to the myriad ticks

human beings are dictatedarranged arraigned  deranged by time

untimely  late

                our independence

times escaped criminals

                             for the time being

eventually whirlingprowling secondhands find us have us again by throat

theres one clock we confide in

that is our unique assassin

                              other clocks are accomplices keeping an eye on us for it  surveilling us

and as they watch they reel and grin arms wild hands spasmodic  enthralled

                                                                                   because theyre in on our murder and anticipate it like children waiting for when Christmas comes to unwrap their pretty wrappedanribboned gifts

they expect our compliance

                              murderers must have their murdered

and because the old man knows this he goes out and smashes clocks

he kills the killers

                     then returning home near senseless with joy and optimism he patiently waits to turn his voluptuous hourglass  she has seduced him with her soft movement her subtle goldengrains of sand

he believes because she hasnt hands she wont be partywont be watchingwont  be a voyeur when he dies

she quietly reminds him of the Sandman who hums Smoke Gets in Your Eyes when he tireswhen his head nodswhen he retires to bed

               and as he strips the bed down changes into his nightshirt she mutters Old man, you better dream like a motherfucker because you aren’t coming back from this ride.

shes in on it  shes time

                           . . . cool bluewater . . . hes swimming like when he was a boy . . . he shakes its grasp  like a flyingfish sails over the sundappled sparklingsurf . . . the water grays  darkens . . . tick . tick . tick . tick . tick . cuckoo . Where? he wonders . . . he struggles to breathe . . . hes suffocating . . . he thinks I’m dying . . . You are . . . You filthy pig! . . . Old man . tick . tick . Are you that greedy? . tick . tick . tick . You’ve had a longer life than most . tick . tick . cuckoo . You’ve outlived everyone you knew . tick . tick . tick . tick . the sound of clots of dirt spadefuls replace the black lapping waves . tick . tick . lapping at the edge of his unconsciousness . . . he thinks he can beat it Wakie! Wakie! he tells himself . . . Open your eyes, open your eyes! he urges himself . tick . . . but he cant . tick . tick . he tries to pinch himself . tick . cuckoo . but he cant . tick . he cant move . tick . tick . hes under blackwater . cuckoo . . . I’m not coming back.

    Whadafuck was tha about

they shruggedalmost looked choreographed

No one

            Usually you monkeys are gnawin at the bit

one with their hands stuffed in their pockets stepped forward

Yah

      Wha

We havent a fuckin clue either

                                 they stepped back again into the throng

his Mariachis speechless

will wonders never cease

he thought they were children

they were dressed like children

he pulled reluctantly into a gas station to use the Mens Room

curiously the Mens and Ladies Rooms were separated by the store inside the gasoline station

usually plumbing is kept close

a key wasnt needed for the Mens Room

the door was wideopen

even with it open the foetid bathroom miasma was thick

entering he was greeted by a stained sink coldwater tap only a scratched metal mirror above it  

opposite the sink was a tall urinal with standard gnawed chewing gum cigarette butts at ones toes pieced octagonal tiles were bleached of color by urine

the stall door was loosely held shut by a clotheshanger

as he enterednegotiated what was an asshole of a bathroom a kid ran up behind him Pleaseplease I really have to go lemme go first I really gotta go

he was slightly impacted but could hold it

kid noisily relieved himself

as they jimmied the hanger to get out a second kid rushed in pulled the same bit  PleaseI think Im going to crap in my pants

kid groaned loudlyexploded into the pot 

he discerned an echo

undoing the latch exiting a third raced in bullrushed the stall I REAALY GOTTA GO

caught his eye

kid had stubble

he slammed the door swinging closed with the heel of his hand the guy had undone his belthis pants were coming down he stoopedgrabbed him by the armpits lifted him off his feet turned planted him before the urinal

                                                                                                       After me chum

his guts grumbled

feces at the door

ached

       before squatting he confirmed there was toilet paper

they werent kids

they were midgets

fuckin taken advantage of by midgets

at City Limits was a poster

                             CIRCUS COMING TO TOWN

fuckin clowny midgets

hed been hoodwinked

flipping the latchthinking that was probably THE MOST disgusting toilet he ever relieved himself in midget stood in his way

     I shit in my pants

Listen man thumbing over his shoulder  Might have been far better than shittin in there

her violence

             her viciouswords rhetoric how she intoned growled  violated  battered as ferociously as his fists but unlike his her bruises took longer to heal  were deep psychic  blackdoubt infected infested

his compassion was hard won

hers less

birdshot dimpled the rifle stock disabled her hand wrist forearm caught her in the belly in the groin fabric would have to be picked out of her wounds

I didn’t think you’d shoot.

was taking a leak in the bathroom sink

bane of his existence

they had a bidet

but no urinal

fuckin urinal makes a ton of sense in California rather than pissing in the toilet and flushing or

place begins to smell like an offmarket rural gasoline station

speaking of which

                    while pissing in the sink a huge black fly buzzed him a couple of times then parked its ass on the mirror over the basin

at his eyelevel

    Whell . . . Ill be damned  he said out loud

fly ignored him

Are you lookin at yourself

fly ignored him

                 was taking in its reflection       seemed mesmerised

You are lookin at yourself

he ran the water briefly sloshedrinsed the basin

fly ignored him

he quietly moved left to exitnot to disturb it

                                               Dude    Youre enamoured  Knock yourself out

shitsangiggles  looked inbout ten minutes later
