fuckin desolate                                  

                                            nothing later   than desolater

out of the black the Rembrandtblack  twiningpresence materializing
givinya a headstart  if ya thought yawere smart
 

before it emerged clotthick    crept      

                                 oozed

but to be fair a headstart was nothing

he realised the moment he turned his back to run itd have him  have him at the horrific disadvantage of not to know what was at him on him

                      a horror unknown more horrible

so while his feet ticked  wanting to run

he stood

waited

      Damnya  Show yerself

 

it roiled

       a black cloud in black water a black entity in desperateblack night

fingerlings and fries emerged  disparate things that at once couldnt be part of one thing and was part of a thing

it reassembled as it emerged

a portion of its blackness swelled  becoming convex

                                              then retired   sifting back

into its unimaginedself

toying with him distracting him as fries slithered near his committed foot  to the tip of his leather boot

funny he should feel something without weight on his foot

he didnt look

he stomped

it recoiled herkyjerky as if accompanying a scream    wounded

and wounding it momentarily encouraged him  and that sparkedwhite encouragement febrile fastcoursing  a bolt from his brain racing down his spine was cut in half 

                                      from razorthin cuts redweep began  at his biceps his chest

he felt himself slipping back though he hadnt moved his feet  minuscule slip  a lip appeared a lower lip at his chest

his shirt peeling away  down

eyes blinking   darkening     sight draining ooouut 

but before he entered blindness a stiff whip a stinger twitched wagged in his face an accusatory finger thinlylacquered in his bloodhe could smell it   warm   cooling

a serrated stinger retreated into the Rembrandtblack  the presence

he felt his torso let go  fall on the back of his head  heard his hips legs fall forward pushed by the physics of his toppling body

sick  wet   slurping    his unscathedheart dumping its remnant oily volume

he entered Rembrandtblack

---   Oh my god she said  Did you get a whiff of her

---   Who

---   Your last customer

---   I got my nose busted more than a couple times as a kid

I dont usually get a whiff of anything unless I put it up under my nose  Nah I didnt

---   Wow  That was some kind of funk

---   A scent  Patchouli

My kid brother loved patchouli 

 

But those were the days

---   Patchouli

Thats funky but not her funk

---   Not pleasant

---   Ahnah

I happened into the restroom immediately after her  Fan or no fan  That was funk

---   What did it smell like

She didnt look unkempt

---   No she didnt

As I was reaching for the doorknob she was turning it to come out

Funk

---   So what did it smell like

---   I shouldnt say

---   Oh Now you got to say

---   You didnt smell it

---   No

---   It was something else

---   Youre killing me

What did she smell like

---   She didnt smell . . . unpleasant

Just funky

---   So youd describe it how

---   I shouldnt say

---   Say

Nobodys around

Two other people inside Theyre at the spirits and the other by the wine

---   You really hawkeye people

---   I do Its retail

Im exceptional aware of my surroundings and since were off the freeway inside a minutes time Im utterly aware

Liquor stores are targets whether you care to think so or not

I dont care for surprises

Anyone giving it a thought note if were vigilant And Im in their faces lookin into their eyes

---   Youve got a point

---   And my point is

                  Whatd she smell not unpleasantly of

 

---   I got a good nose I know exactly what she smelled of

---   Im all ears

---   I shouldnt say

---   For Christssake say

---   Alright

Smelled of pepper and semen

---   Black pepper an semen

---   Yes

---   Thats funky baby

---   Aint it

---   It is

1456,  Day-between-Two-Ts,  30  3. 16

---   Hopelessly endowed huh  Thats a mouthful

---   Stop 

---   Atll clear your throat

 

---   Stop  Could you please stop    Puhlease

---   Bring tears to your eyes

he glared at her

Whos the comedian now I think I like this funnyman stuff you always fallback behind

Making everything a joke

---   Because Id rather laugh than cry

---   I think Im finally catching a glimpse of your reckoning

But that aside

and back to our subject

You never did see who was talking

---   I didnt  I went quickly to my pocket my pen pulled paper I have folded in my book and scribbled it down not that I would forget who could forget scribbled down the time to preserve it for the Ages

---   The Ages  Because the Ages cant afford not to remember that pearl of a notion

---   Where you going with that

---   Going  What are you talking about

---   I thought you were going somewhere  The pearl bit

---   Pearl

---   My apologises Youre not a comedian

---   Youre coming out of left field

---   Ill cum out of any and in any field I feel like

Pearl necklace

You teed it up and wandered away

---   Oh my God

No  Im a comedian

Not a pervert

---   Not perverted

Quit attractive I think if you can manage it

I never could

Always freshwater pearls

Always a broach or a strand

The beginnings of a tiara

Heres mud in your eye

it was her turn to glare

Comon  Its funny yah

---   Yah

---   Youre mocking me

---   Yah

---   Awright Enough

Back to the subject at hand

---   Really

---   Really

he laughed

A little longer

Who pulled the bonerIs that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me

he smiled largely

---   Evidently youre proud of yourself

---   Cocks are funny ya gotta admit

---   If I admit it will you shaddup so we can have a legit conversation about what you overheard

---   Yah I just dont think legit conversation covers it

Nothing really legit Gossip

---   I dont think gossip is correct either

Its just between you and I

---   True

But you know me  First chance I get in conversation to whip it out its out on the table possibly hanging off its lip 

 

---

---   Awright  Ill stop

---   Thank you

---   Youre welcome

---   You really meander

---   Never go anywhere in a straight line

Youll get picked off

Never stop moving

Easy to hit a standing target

---   So you always say

---   I always do

---   But back to the subject at hand

he restrained himself

Looks like that hurts

---   A bit

But as you were saying

I think    I think I can talk now

Just so reminiscent of my first sex talk with my parents Their unyielding need for proper terminology as if it were etiquette

            

Penis

Vagina

Really very serious stuff

Me stuffin my laughter

And then the stuff they left out Lies by omission

Christ  It was the Sixties Everywhere touting it a raging Sexual Revolution 

 

Not that it was

Conveniently forgetting the Roaring Twenties  Or Europe Berlins Cabaret

Such children in America

---   It is a Christian Nation

---   Its religious to the hilt

And sooner or later I was going to come face-to-face with all sorts of sexuality  Youd think they would have better prepared me if they were going to go by the textbook Be frank

---   To be fair

You werent very old

---   I was old enough to have boners be aware of breasts Lookin at Playboy

And my father was a boy once upon a time

My mother a girl

Sorry  Sexuality eventually dawns and if I came to them to talk about it then the cock crowed if ya catch my drift

---   Caught  But back to our subject

---   Hopelessly endowed

Doesnt sound like a problem to me That said Id never utter the words

Im amicably endowed

No complaints thus far

---   What do you mean thus far

---   You forgot to glare

---   Okay funnyman

---   Our funnymen have parried  Where we going with this

---   I dont know

You

---   I wasnt going anywhere

Just something I overheard and had to share

Play our game

Crow about

---   You certainly are

---   Yup

 

It belongs to the Ages

After we give it a little traction outside our confines

Let it out of the box so to speak

he started humming riffs off Dick in a Box

she said

        I think youll need a bigger box
