exiting Salinas California

                     you remember your history Steinbeck Of Mice and Men The Red Pony The Pearl pull up your pants cinch your belt East of Eden James Dean Porsche 550 Spyder the deadly Chlomane crash U. S. Route 446

1313 hours  on the road(Kerouac) again out of Salinas  could you imagine Salinas as terminus for a visit or living there

1314  you enjoyed entering it  however enjoyed it more immediately as possible exiting it

1315  you enjoyed the architecture of old town  although most of it has been neglected unmaintained  which is dismal  it reveals a simmering disrespect of itself 

in its heyday you probably wouldnt have thought twice or minded that Salinas was your trails end

1319  you exited Salinas in a mad rush pushing down eucalyptus trees that barred your way you didnt mean them any harm they groaned made wisecracks threw dust and yellow pollen then toppled over pointing their gnarled roots bizarre elongated toes up into the air

I didnt mean any harm you apologised  I didnt mean any harm any more than a motorist who runs over mangles squirrels skunks raccoons opossums cats and dogs(forever bound) hawks owls motorists who are oblivious of the gore and death they leave in their wake

exiting Salinas

1329  you remember then you brought your library card with you anxious to visit the John Steinbeck Library but worried it and Cesar Chavez and El Gabilan Libraries might be closed for lack of funding  you remembered they were threatened shuttering after having been consistently devalued during the three-year lead-up to the crisis which would have rendered Salinas Steinbecks birthplace the largest city in America without a public library

what might Steinbeck have thought of the store of books and memorabilia kept under his names auspice or imprimatur was closed failed denied

would he have thought unAmerican

1343  long exited Salinas and wending your way Furthur on a bus(Kesey) to San Jose

you knew it would have been unAmerican

but theres been a lot of unAmerican things happening in America

a lot of things trying to be normalised that are not normal and are returned to time and time again in brazen hope that their reiteration braying sullied mantra will finally tip the scale to acceptance  a childs belief process who throws a tantrum because the thing knows its parents have vowed not to spank them and if they maintain their shrill and volume they will eventually get them their way

however in their obtuse greed they do not recognise other parents closing in who have not forsworn physical discipline

Its either you or me they tell the childs parents

This behaviour will not be tolerated

dont imply a damn thing when talking with him       

be clear  concise

otherwise  youre only wasting your time                  

hell call you out for lying  

go ahead

        try and drift that you implied  hell shove implied up your ass rough  vigorously    maliciously

you knewdont duck it

dont say you didnt know what you meant                                                                                             

spit it out

say so                                              

he knew you knew you were being a cunt

apparently implication is attended by a lisp a tell  it wore a warm disgusting scent

                                                                     so he said

he didnt break a sweat over anything  

he learned about life by watching water 

he watched its patient path of least resistance

should someone stand apart from his views perceptions

he didnt debate them

he didnt tell them they were wrong 

he put forth his opinion explicitly  cautioned his was only an opinion   

you were welcome yours as long as he was welcome to his

try and diminish his hed be knocking at your front door demanding an apology

it was best to know how to tender an apology

                                     because he wasnt leaving without one

an apology or a pound of flesh

he was excited to turn 65

he would have cleared the Beatles 64 – hurtle 

                                     without a care of if youll need mewill you still feed me
he had that well in handby the throat

his happiness wasnt someone elses job

neither was his welfare

he kept his entitlement in check

rubbed its nose in his genetic fortunerubbed its nose in the work he put in keeping himself as fit as possible

he tempered his vices  Christ!like herding cats

he scratched out as best he could the various sides of every story

scrutinised them  held them up to their blackest whitestheir whitest blacks

he despised cointossers

                   as he despised the fear telemarketers tried to inspire in the elderly

he didnt think he ever be that elderly

One out of every three Americans over 65 fall and injury themselves  Falls are the leading cause of elder injury and death  With more than 10,000 older Americans turning 65 every day you owe it to yourself to protect yourself . . and on an  on   an    on . . a relentless fearmongering for Thars gold in them thar hills

Them thar hills as old as Christs dog

Infirm  Enfeebled                               

Let us help

Comfort Keepers can help

Please consider our Personal Emergency Response System

he couldnt help but wondered how many Americans under 65 fell and injured themselves

hell  he tripped kids whose parents let them run around wilddidnt teach them to walk indoors keep their hands to themselves respect other peoples property

he was just a minor lynchpin in that immediate moment

                                              Quit your ballin  You were ahead of yourselfwerent looking where you were going  Every action has a reaction

Im your reaction

Its a bitchhuh to be held accountable for your actions

Might as well learn that now while your slower and closer to the grounddont have as far to fall

You might say thank you

Youre welcome
