anile
he couldnt remember now how he stumbled upon the wordstubbed his toehad to look it
up adjective of or
resembling a doddering old woman
he had to admit that anile
sounded better than dotard albeit it a
noun from dotage meaning a state or period of senile anile
decay marked by a decline of mental
acuity and alertness
Jesus
sounding trembling terriblyclose to retard
not nice language disparaging old
people hed met some
sharp cookies in his life and
sending them spinning off after their dictionaries and Goddammit! What the hell! if they can remember where they put it
leaving
them to defend themselves against a juvenile Oh yeah? Yeah OH yeah?
Yeah Oh Yeah. YEAH What
are we talking about?
Fuggitaboutit
weird the shit that entertained
himthat cropped up in his beaker before bed it was that free-range organic
aspect of him that kickedup its heels when he was tired

Jesus Wha a mout
itd been awhile since hed been was scoldeddressed
downridden roughshod over by a squirrel and this was one
salty squirrel
salty
his mother used to accuse him of
using salty language when
did she hangout with sailors You were educated better than that, you know
better. Yah yup but like art once you learn the basics you experiment Hence Picassos Blue Period his Cubism
Modernism Abstracts
If you prefer we could call my
language abstract
she harrumphed him
salty and
harrumphed in one conversation made him
wonder what he could chuck on top that to make a triple scoop give him some time his mother inspired him
sex itd be sex
sex really pulled her chain
widhis father it was evident from
the getgo race
there was an article from the Smithsonian that threw coldwater on any
argument once and for all humankinds birthplace was Africa
he Xeroxed a couple dozen copies
of it
on its naked reverse side he
wrote letters to his father it was
something he did when writing his parents so his arguments usually against their positions had proof or evidence confirmed on his
letters reverse side
he thought he was clever
If yawanna rebut me make damn
sure youve read the other side of my letter Im not talking off the top of my head
they typically thought he was
because they did
I donwanna read your opinions Opinions aint fact
they and he had grown up under
the tenacious Chicago Public School system
hell he suffered corporal punishment until it was finally overruled when he was in fourth grade
if someone thought Chicago
neighbourhoods were tough they wouldntve
wanted to tangle with teachers in their classrooms
wasnt one spoiled child wasnt one
spared rod
Joe. You really have to stop
sending letters to your father with the mother-of-all-mankind-is-black article
on its reverse side. He’s not humoured.
Im humoured
Im humoured inside out
that he hasnt a leg to stand on for his prejudice
His father did him no favors
regarding Negroes.
Hes not his father Hes not accountable to the sins of his father
Deuteronomy
Twentyfour Sixteen Fathers shall not be
put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death
because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sins. Old Testament was mighty abrupt Devarim
The fifth book of the Jewish Torah
Judaism preceded the Christian faith
Thought I didnt pay attention during my Communion classes
Yahave no idea how many times I
had to kneel on broomsticks for my perceived slights and indiscretions
The words are fuckin grievous but they certainly strike homemake my point He doesnt
have to pick on niggersas he says because his upbringing afforded him better Hes never stopped a moment to walk in
their shoes
the squirrel scolded him from a desperately
leaning digger pine
digger pines leaned a longlong
time before they finally fell over on their faces like drunken sailors
he didnt know how he crossed
this little prick
but in the back of his mind stopped
taking its umbrage he thought itd
be perfect if the pine fell over and the squirrel had to ride it down like Slim
Pickens did as Major T. J. “King” Kong atop a nuclear bomb in Dr Strangelove
one can only wish
he realised that the squirrels
spite would outlast his patience without him knowing the reason why
so he moseyed off letting the
lil bugger celebrate its perceived victory and undiluted spleen

Whoa shes stacked
Where’d that come from?
Wha
What are you, thirteen? I think
that’s when stacked went out of vogue.
Vogue
Fashion, style, for a particular
time.
Lemme think
Ah I aint dead
A particular time stills tickin
Dating yoursel . .
. . Like I give a fuck
Touhe.
And if I can, do you understand the
groundwork, why, you don’t give a fuck? because for as long as I’ve known you,
you have unabashedly not given a fuck.
A trailblazer who critiques me
for using stacked
An she was Indubitably
I had a gentleman on my paper
route out of vogue who told me that respect was a two way
street You’re told to respect your
elders he said I was Why?
Respect he said nothing Because my parents told me to That’s not an answer he said Let me ask you, what if your elder doesn’t
respect you? he hadnt an answer Shouldn’t respect go both ways? That makes sense Doesn’t it?
It does
Since like I give a fuck I cant tell you all the times people older
than me expected my respect without demonstrating why I should respect them
Respect is earned It isnt blindly given
But you know that
Weve been hanging out since you
rambled round in my brain and finally came out
Came out. Many have come out.
If I could come out of the closet
Jesus. Not looking to make
friends of us, are you?

on this stretch of road he rarely
looked up out of his book
an easy decline a broad even
sidewalk hed walked more times than he could count over nearly ten years
something eerie bade him to
lookup
when baded or is that baited
he looked he wished he ignored himself
lookingup looking above the stark
pikes that made up a black metal fence that surrounded the junior high he saw that
the old trees that had been pruned their
limbs cut back they looked like dumb
fingers amputated fingers pointing at the sky
he thought
of all the athletes who pointed who
obviously believed that Gawd favoured them celebrated their home run touchdown goal winning their event
Man if he could have those fingers cut off hed
feel better about the trimmed trees
nobody wanted a tree to kill a child
nobody wanted a tree to frighten
a child
he wasnt nobody
younger trees to either side of the
elders were untouched
they had birds flitting in their
boughs
there wasnt one bird in any of
the seven amputated trees that ran before the concrete patio and walk before
the standalone school gymnasium
he wasnt nobody
he was harsher than most
but only because
accountability preferably to punish
wrongdoers who werentbeing punished must also endure lost innocents
must risk murderous trees someone must have heard the wicked plots mused among the trees
he supposed he ought to be happy
they only suffered amputation they could
have been cut down
when trees in this town were cut
down they were not replaced
when people are cut down several replace them
seemed imbalanced to him
seemed particular human
species always won out when considered against other earthlings and the
planet considering First People genocide black
people genocide get-on-the-wrong-side-of-white-people genocide
just an observation
try as he may
he looked he couldnt find the name of one person
murdered by a tree
names of people murdered by people
unknown people murdered
by people
Come on people take the cake
just an observation

hed been circled before
first time reared goosebumps of
fear on his flesh
but that was reinforced by the
element he was in water
had he gills to remain immersed
in the shimmer he had a knifeGame
on! queer thing of the sea was there was
nowhere to go except down to the bottom to find a place where he could put his
back against something and make the circler come on him face to face
in open water he was deadcenter
of a surrounding sphere of attacksa frightening myriad of radii to defend
an obscenely
awkward inability or agility to affect a stalwart defence
after that first time that first
shark that fish passing him by after
all it was just a fish he recognised that their similar
size had made them equals and
therefore likely the shark circling him like humans wishing they could circle a traffic
accident to gawk was curious
he was curious
curiosity ought be the nature of
any beast
unfortunately hed met too
many people who werent
apparently the work was too hard
he rushed headlong from a grotto
that was collapsing around himfilling with seawater from overhead slurring
suddenvents and spitting holes
it terrified himhis heart
thumping violently in his chest that this sparkling refracted bluewashed architecture its teeth stalagmites and stalactites stalactitties yes
were forever to be lost
he dragged his feetturned in
circles trying to take in remember as much as he could while he fled and spun on
the white sand before its depressed mouth and spun into the sea swimming hard trying
to put as much distance between himself and it as it boiled and crumbled underwater fearful a siphon a whirlpool might birth
it did not
treading water open water he saw he was being circled circled by a shadow beneath the waves that was twicethree times larger
than he
curious
he was
he took a deep breath and slipped
under the surface
circling him was an
exquisitelydrawn painted silveredblue largeeyed flyingfish a stylised Ohno
Bakufu though alive and threedimensional
it circled him gazed at him one eyethen reversing its way the other
it was a fish he didnt know how to read it
then reversing again having circled him several times it dipped a
pectoral fin and came headlong at him in its
rush it slowed itself by extending both set of fins extending its pelvic fins it swept down he tucked up then taking a chance
he reached down and grasped its pectorals where they joined its body and swung
upput a foot to its pelvis fin and straddled its back
ahold of the leading edge of
its pectorals it instantaneous folded its fins and bolted on a long angle racing
to the surface
they exploded through
crazedbubbles whitesilver and cyclonic tinyswirls its tail churning and catapulted into the sky were he sucked breath it caught blue updrafts the wind
of their propulsion screamed in his ears
its tail whipped the sea and they
went up again and again many times they reentered the water he heard it
gulpbtreathe then they were up again
his shoulders joints criedthough
he couldnt imagine that the flyingfish wasnt suffering either its subsequent jumps and flights were growing
shorter and shorter but there seemed it
had a purpose
a threedimensionally
executed flyfishing had a purpose
he
heard a grunt
it dove again
the
grunt persisted
it lunged again
broke the surface
it soared higher than it had before
and looking he saw a green
coastline whitelipped by beach
the fish bankedlosing some altitude
he screamed I SEE
and when they reentered the sea it collapsed its wings and slowed and slowe d
and s l o w e d
when he let go as he slipped off he
ran its hands lovingly down its back to its stilled tail
it wiggled a bit under his touch
swimming up to the surface he
watched it sink into the bluedpurpling depths a blur a smudge then disappeared
he rolled over onto his back and
looked and the yellow sun and occasionally spat water like a whales spout
fearless
he had
been touched
nothing dare accost him
the surf grew louder and louder
his ears underwater he could hear
the sand particles grate and dance and sing welcome
he staggered onto the beachstaggered
up to the dry warm sand and laid down laid down on his Mothers breast
impossibly saved

he found it curious
recently with very few Republicans willing to stand
against seditionagainst insurrection – one clown wrote Get over it. Get over it three weeks after the Capitol was overrun on 6
January by cretins which some white Republicans
inside Congress incited and did not fear they didnt fear harm because the cretins werent
coming after them
immediately after the violence was quelled Congress returned to its
constitutional duty to certify states electoral college votes and confirm that
Joseph R. Biden, Jr. was elected President of the United States six of eight senators who originally voted
against Arizona still voted against it later 147 House Republicans
voted against Pennsylvanias electoral college votes
when the House voted to impeach the
former president ten House Republicans voted with Democrats four Republicans were non-votes
the ten have been touted as profiles in courage
Profiles in Courage was a book
Senator John F. Kennedy wrote in 1956
just last week House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi spoke about the enemy within the walls of Congress
The Enemy Within was a book
written by McClellan Committees chief counsel Robert F. Kennedy in 1960

she was tipped to darkness
but thats where one would find witches wouldnt they
he wasnt looking for one
they connected unexpectedly
some outside looking in might say
she bewitched him
if he was bewitched
he wasnt bitching
but those outside never carried water
for him
he was troubled by people who
asked him what he thought about anything
big girl panties
big boy panties
Yadon know whacha want Askin me is a waste of time
he never asked wha anyone thought
opinions
why would anyone let their lives be informed or ran by others
sowhaif she was a witch
she
was a witch in the kitchen in bed a witch when challenging him in debatenot
that they often disagreed
but when they did passionately a donnybrook
no holds barred take no prisoners
whod want to be taken prisoner
better to die on the field
he was a conundrum to her
he spoiled her charms spoiled her chants and spells
when her blood was up there was no
better time to take her down
when they woke in the
morningtheir body parts still intertwined Wha knots that Don’t pull on it!
Jesus!
still bound
hed take her by the chin and kiss her gently like a baby
Isnt it nice to be
confounded hed say
shed smilesleepily lazily
Baby. You don’t confound me . .
.
. Ohbut I do
his turn to smile
lazily like a Cheshire Cat I know
I do No crime in that unless you have to be in control
Yawanna be in control
Or
is it okay we wash together like grit
and sand and shell and bonebit churned in a surf
It’s hard to argue when you put
it that way.
Lets agree
Were alchemy
Alchemy. Alchemy.
I can do that.
Good Now do me and lets get into a marvelous
one-of-a-kind day together Im excited to see
You’re always excited.
Thats because of you

bewitched
