one that goaded him

she disagreed

Curious wasnt Common Sense

                                 No. I don’t think . . .    Believe    I said think.    If so damn sure believe is more accurate    I said, think.

                                     I don’t think common sense is a thing.

If I didnt believe that about us Id have to lay down an die

                                                               Common sense is a subset of curious

Lies are a subset of hallucinations

a slow creek

small fries

he spit

smart fries

they didnt rise

                they unlike the koi kept in an artificial pond an artificiallyturned waterwheel at Old Mill Shopping Center when he was a boy

    he hawked a lougie

spit

one or another mottled one torpedoedup and gobbled

                                                        he groaned   but really didnt feel bad

how many times had he hawked a lougie into his throat and given the circumstances had had to swallow it

to this day if asked

                         he maintained his devout pleasure eating raw oysters was fostered by swallowing lougies

the resulting groans

                     also a pleasure to his ears

‘God’s humour tends to the dark side of life’

                                                                                     KB

You know it brother

from here he could commence with a long conversation with KBif  KB were present

talkin to himself wouldnt suffice

                                   but

hes conversed with a friend

an agnostic

who insists hes an atheist

                            he isnt

atheism is an absolute

as Godworshipping is

doesnt believe in absolute

hamstrung

insists Reason over Faith

                            but

he  cant   commit

                      insists

he likes to keep his options open

likes

wants

    not really the same fuckin thing

so when he told him that God had surlyblack humour one thing he and He could agree on friend seemingly got butthurt stoodup for Himhow dare he

Yakiddin me

That’s an awful thing to say.

Because

                 Thas not funnyeverythings funny everythings got a darkside  evidence  dark side of the moon  Id rather laugh than cry

                                 GIVE ME BLACK HUMOUR EVERY TIME

Ya remember wha I said about the doorman when comin in

    he said  This is life. Life is a comedy club. If you can’t take a joke, you can’t come in.

hed like to have a conversation with KB someday

    So what are they?

This tshirt patting his chest

                              it read SMASH RACISM in bold crimson letters and between the words felons hung from a rope  a fat pig pinata  beneath it a man shouldering a baseball bat readying to strike

This was from felons first term an afterwards  a keepsake  I put away in a storage chest in with sweaters an mothballs to keep them free of being noshed by larvae

    VOILA cunts returned

So as well  the tshirt

No, I didn’t know.  I feel stu . .

. . No no  Can feel ignorant but not stupid

                                             I imagine my expression threw you Ive not met someone who hasnt heard of mothballs

You can imagine my surprise

I can.

        But you’re old school so no doubt theres things you can tell me that would flummox me.

    obvious twinkle in his eye Woud you like to flummox

 

Gosh. returning his twinkle  You say the nicest things to me.

nowadays had to enter a code to unlock the Mens room at the grocerystore

                                                                                thats what its come to

foul men fouling bathrooms

smearing feces on the walls

                               wasnt like if you caught them in the act redhanded  craphanded

youd want to mix it up with them

    correction

                      utility room next door down was unlocked  janitorial supplies   a rancid mop

he stepped back into the Mens room

shithands turned

                   he might have thought to face him but midturn

he cracked him on the side of the head

staggering him

                then popped him in the kisser onetwothreetimes

he fell backwards

cracked his head on the palegreen tiled wall

                                               slipped to the floor eyeballsfluttering

popped him one last time in the mouth

blood streaked the wall from contact down

leveraging the handlesnapped it in half  mophead in the urinal

took it with him

exited

        no Man room

 

he walked two blocks to the library

tapped a kidney tenderly there

wasnt much to express

                        but when walkinreadin hed get carried away and had on occasion found himself in the middle of nowheresomewhere

so emptying himself served him well

rather than having to take a leak

                                   where

he might not be able to tenderly tap a kidney

there hadnt been anything bad since Elmer

                                               if bad was succinct for selfdefense  bludgeoning the man

his right to defend his home his body

bad

       was the cops try as they may to make something other stick  some addled fiction

had seen one too many movies streamed cop serials

                                                         that

cops dont like getting beatup at what they think is their game

                                                                 they lacked imaginationlacked knowledge of his history

lacked empathy not a job requirement

    lacked his smarts

thought he lacked what the cops thought he lacked

his Uncle Joe did
