BaBy yEr mY FaNtASY



the FaNtASY is over

his tribe took it downthree bodacious kittends kittens ended plenty of things he hadnt imagined he exerts patience patience patience theyd grow out of their insanityinexperience but he had to appreciate it while it was flushedfullblooded in the heat of the momenttheir youth  or why have them


on his refrigerator he placed a coloured magnetic alphabet so his granddaughters could enjoy when they came to visit
which unfortunately wasnt often
                                  which compelled him to play with it

he wrote notes to his girlfriend
she responded when she came to the house to care for their tribe
their tribe

he wouldnt haveshe wouldnt have if she hadnt brought october into their lives

more pointedly  into his life

he took october in

without any idea that she would want outan she did
                                                       slipped him one nighthurtling through the open door behind him as he entered with bags of canned fud dry fud for her and indie 

indie wasnt going anywhere

being neutered does that to a cat or a human being he might assume




the fantasy is over


he wrote on the refrigerator to her BaBy  and descending off the y  E-r  m-Y  and to the left of the Y  F-a-N-t-A-S

the tribe  having become adept leapers  recognised curiosity killed the cat the magnetic coloured letters on the face of refrigerator and had to take them downscatter them across the linoleum floor  play

unfortunately their discombobulation coincided with a growing distance between BaBy and him

he gave her as much rope as she wanted 
                                            and did so despite the possibility of her hanging herself with it

because she seemed yet  not to grasp who she was


but maybe women didnt know their status under continual attacks and redefinition advertisements craftedattacking them that they didnt haveshe didnt have the luxury luxury  luxury  a white mans luxury to put their foot down as he did as a boyadamantly  identifying himself  and not budging off his identity since

a round peg wedged tightlymaddeningly  in a square hole
                                                             defiantly crying I dont give a fuck  he had scars to prove his defiance


maybe women didnt prefer scars

they arent considered attractive

so they tried to avoid them

and failing they triedthey tried to hide them BULLSHIT  Let your freak flag fly!




BaBy yEr mY FaNtASY 
                              above it on the freezer door higher than the tribe could leap  she wrote I LOVe joe

Fuck never escaped his jaws barred by his gritted teeth the back of his head grated raw on the concrete an gravel in the parking lot

tingling  spastic  
                 but on the dark field before his eyes he was able to align the words he thought  the words fell awkwardly in gobs an chunks like childrens playblocks  IF  HE  THINKS  THIS  ENDS  HERE  HES  NUTS  GOT  HIM  ON  MY  DANCE  CARD

something came out of his nose that didnt look like himhe never saw before  he didnt think it was his

frankly it didnt look like anything hed produce  fuckin alien


he felt it tuurn in his sinuses it woke him he thought maybe he was asleepstill dreaming but the rising suns light bleached his windows shone on the wall at the foot of his bed

he didnt like partitions not drapes or curtain between inside and out fortunately his house stood on top of a hill other homes were beneath his elevation

something definitely turned inside his head  
                                              and when he stirred it ceased moving  a game of cat and mouse

he blew his nose throughout the day although not necessarily to evict the curled thing in his sinuses but rather because of a weepy left nostril he suffered  a physician took it upon himself to fix his deviated septum he didnt ask him to 

his consistent continual blowing may have broken the camels back he could feel the mass descendingworking its way out

then it stopped
               he had a sensation of it becoming ariddrying out it crawled and crumbled to a stop it was riight there  Damn Move Finish this up

a nostril is elastic he thought he might be able to dislodge it with his thumb blunt object at blunt objectPRESTO! dislodged it fell onto his desk

gingerly he pushed it with his indexfinger Wha are you wha the fuck are you  You certainly arent me timidly he pushed poked the dried crud with his finger to his horror it shivered shivered like an unearthed earthwormtwisting on itself writhing then emitting dust spores then like a pill bug it unfurled got up on fine insect legs and began crawling

he stood up out of his chairswept it off his desk onto the wood floor he stepped on itcrushed it underfoot 


his mind caught up with him a moment later What did you do?
What did you do?


I . . I suppose I panicked  I crushed it

Where?

Im standing on it  Under my foot


You’re just going to stand there?

I am I will until my Comfort returns Mebbe you might wanna go looking for ityou cant miss it Im guessing itll keep its bugged eyes for a bit

Comfort’s a funny thing.

Youre telling me Whatever you do dont force it coerce it Talk it down  Talk it down be considerate

Considerate?

As you were considerate?

I was panicked Youre not You were late And youre seeking Comfort Comfort isnt terrifying or invasive


You mean to stand here until I return?

Yabetcha If stomping it didnt kill it Ill suffocate it

I’d like to see.

When you get back with Comfort I aint going anywhere Comfort aint so quick or has endurance It utilised its Flight speed leaving me to Fight

You’re not going anywhere?

Ill be right here 

You know me better than that

Thought I did. However haven’t known you to pan . .
. . It  was  panic  worthy

Okay, okay. I’ll be back.

Comfort hasnt gone too far Look for a bush moving by itself  Likely hes hiding behind it

Not up in a tree?

Thatd be me Comfort never followed me up trees  Afraid of heights perhaps


I’ll be back.

Im waiitiing


his mind sauntered off  and as it went his thoughts returned to what was under his foot Whawas that   
                                                                                                            a primal aspect inside him moaned Mmaybbe iit wwas aa viiruus loookiing foor aah hoome

It had something there 

but he knew his body to be a cesspool  inhospitable   

like Afghanistan  he was a place for empires or viruses to go to die

he  preferred  fresh he preferredalways has  that raw breaththat breath of fresh air turned by the atmosphere winds

couldnt make him work in a hole  a mine

he conceded working in a building where air was recirculated airconditioned  fucked with 
                                                                                               but his constitution kept him rolling on more than not when coworkers went overwent down with communicable illnesses  on the tendrilstenacles of cooled and warmed air

corporate wasnt big on keeping their airfilters updated saved money so he had to be the bitch Sorry grrls if he coopted say otherwise he was the prick swung in their face Their  in his caseusually most cases white males When I get confirmationevidence theyve been changed out Ill be back to work he never took their word for anything 


either lead or follow 
                      he was proof you could lead from behind coerce with logic and truth 


his last superior lost his shit when he went over their head refused to go through him just included him on his problem-solving  his solution

he cc’d him kept him in the loop

his manager genuinely lost his shit screamingYes  at him in the call center among his coworkers   

he stood up crossed past him  You got something to say to me you can say it in the your office 

he left him yelling at his back in the call center

when he broke in through his closed office door Who the fuck do you think you are walking away from me?

Who do you think you are You got something to say to mepersonally  you say it to me in private You arent grandstanding  not on my time

he growledblew spittle  I've been through your personnel file and I don't know how you've kept your job.

I kept my job because I did my job Management cant refute my ethic or veracity  Besides that shitty line Its business it aint personal doesnt fly with me  I take everything personal  I wore it on my sleeve 

I made coming into this gig a matter of equality The company expected me to reflect it In return I demanded it also reflect me Tit for tat I held that mindset like herpes

They always blanched when I asked at company meetings Whos the asshole who came up with that idea

They never said

Their programmes werent well received

Though assholism never is

Cant bumped a guy for being truebeing accurate  Sucks But whas right is right

Besides  you come rolling in from lunchsmelling like booze Who do you think you are chastising me Know where youve been Your reputation precedes you Dont think yawanna dance with me  Dont think so

I  will hang you out to dry

he walked into a narrow gangway formed between a concrete block retaining wall and the side of a church basement

the gangway lead to an array of steep uneven pouredconcrete steps that would lead him up to ground level – the oldest church in the community – before churches opened in available storefronts on strip malls or tents pitched on property belonging to absentee landlords 
                                 Gawd giveth and He taketh away

the gangway was sliced into an atmosphere of suspended gloom and brilliant exuberance by sunlight at his left painting the church wall cast through old tall trees

he paused at the head of the gangway

at his feet an iridescent shimmering snail trail was revealed it ran in delicious eclipticsround and roundpassing over itself and revealing its escape path into a stand of ivy 

he couldnt help but wonder how long it took the snail lay its track 
                                                                     and as he wondered in the fallen brittle live oak leaves a thin brown lizard broke into a noisy run ahead of him in the gutter at the foot of the retaining wall  it scampered just ahead of him he walked hot on its heels all four to where the lizard had to pullup arrested by an abrupt concrete step

turning to face him it assumed Godzillas fighting pose mouth openmenacing sides heaving sucking breath     

Its awright buddyboy he told it Life aint no different for me Relax Ill not hurt you

No   no no emphatically he shook his head side to side  No no

What’s going on here? a buddy strolled up Who’s he? he asked nodding towards the old man

He asked in broken English if he could share my table The shop was filled to brimming Yaknow me happy to help a brother out

So what are you no-no-ing him? he turned to the gentleman Hello.

Hello the elderly man responded like a myna bird

Seems a cool old dude, man.

Sipping a triple espresso Definitely cool

So what are you no-ing him about?

MAGA

MAGA?

Fuckin echo in here he smiled Yes MAGA

the old man mimicked Maggot.

And there you have it I was telling him its MAGA Make America Great Again not maggot He aint having it He laughs and keeps repeating Maggot Maggot Not that I disagree

his buddy turned to the old man and said something in a tongue Asian maybe he didnt recognise it slick

the old man responded in kind

Are you shittin me he said You speak his lingo

Haltingly. I picked up his . . tone . . inflection.

Because why

ELT.

English Language Teaching

You know it?

I do I considered it too Thought it might be a nice way to travel interact with other people

And?

Dug constructionbuilding more Besides found it a little nuts that America thinks everyone around the world ought to be able to speak Englishfuckin entitled pushing too hard on that Indispensible horseshit

How we can think that way while we have a president running aroundbanging around inside his mental cage flinging shit like an ape is beyond me

So

So?

So Youll be able to communicate to him MAGA isnt maggot

he laughed Why would I dissuade from thinking otherwise? He mentioned you were mistaken. MAGA made no sense. Maggots thrive on a corpse.

Ouch

Yeah. That’s exactly what I said.



Happy Birthday America!!
