he had this crazed look in his eyes which was hard to discern

he was walleyed

he used them separate of each other uncomfortably discordant as if he was playing two hands of TwentyOne at a time excitedly eyeballing his hole cards                                        

then not looking directly at me or maybe he was and I couldnt tell he said
(Ill never forget it)                                              Were dealing with fanatics

and fanatics are always experts

Experts

       What do you call yourself

Call myself Of course Im an expert he said somehow oblivious droll to the content of his prior remark

Expert

Yes

Not a fanatic

No

How is the inverse of what you said not true                    

If a fanatic is always an expert inversely an expert is always a fanatic

Oh not necessarily  A fanatics expertise may be rooted in extreme or hyperbolic beliefs  Those beliefs rather than facts

can be articles of Faith

They are the faithful The Incorruptible

You see

(too tempting  though he balked refused the probably unintended bait) Ah  I appreciate your distinctions

My usual manner is to assume an expert is not someone of Faith 

I would not call a priest an expert

But you can appreciate that those he administers believe he is an expert if not then a learned respected member of the clergy and the Churchs hierarchy

I can appreciate that Though I would not say Faith is upheld by experts

one of his eyes trembled briefly feigning an inside move presenting him unaffected but it teased and lazily rolled back and off a brilliant egg yolk dropped centered in a frying pan slipped off to the side

Yes  A fine thing if experts had to qualitatively prove themselves against their breed

Theyre often mysteriously conferred commuted

And often nefariously

Then questionable

To us perhaps Agreed To their worldview where or how they ascended No

Unassailable experts

Im take no comfort in your words

the other eye parried its mates movement quivered then fuck it and relaxed to its haven

I intended no comfort

Probably why I didnt

Well  This has been vaguely stimulating

I couldnt tell if he was looking at me or not  Informative Thank you

Youre welcome

Much luck with your fanatics

Our fanatics Were tethered

I wish you better luck with your experts

Thank you

walking off perpendicular into the grass away from the park bench they met at and sat on he glanced over his shoulder one last time and caught him admiring two young women in little-left-to-the-Imagination running apparel who approached him on the path before the bench from either side 

he cursed him under his breath  Damn fish  smudged with latent humour

The Picture of Dan Patrick

for those who are disinclined to examine life*

or read fiction which is every bit as powerful and enticing and insightful as nonfiction and science

           

for those who havent a peripatetics nervous twitch or their unrestrained nature or desire for gross handfuls and mouthfuls of Mankinds varied and arrayed wild experiences

or who are judgmental

                                  

I unveil and share with you The Picture of Dan Patrick(my indebtedness to Oscar Wilde)

I assume it is well-hidden in his Texas home and thrilled at only by himself when he has been shaken not stirred to a delicious delirium and in such an ecstatic state he invokes he is unresponsible for any irrational or untoward tweet

despite it fervently aligned and resonating with his long-held Old Testament Christian belief

* Socrates (recorded in Platos Apology): An unexamined life is not worth living

"YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW"

really

      fifty human beings were gunned down and fiftythree wounded 

                                                         No Dan Patrick you dont get to take that back

You dont get to say Im sorry and have it be worthwhile

You dont get to have your paid stooge erase your tweet then lie defending it act as if you never said it act that you didnt mean it condemning those murdered in Pulse 

                  

YOU CAN REAP WHAT YOU SOWED

I submit Id pay to have it tattooed onto his worthless head and after hes dead cut away all the skin except for the billboard of his forehead and mount his skull on a simple crucifix to exhibit in my library where I keep other bones 

His would round out my collection

they would be the only bones while-animated(he wasnt cognizant of living participating in humanity or possibly an earthling) that wished harm on his fellow man

as I see it he should step down from office and if he wont he ought be censured by the governor and forcibly removed

as an elected state official he swore to represent the people of Texas

 

                                                             not just white Christian Texans
