Powell wouldnt have Trump polish his boots

                                              because hed fuck it up in front of everyone on a busy street corner near a newsstand or outside a barber shop

Powell appreciated skill efficacy he exhibited a willingness to dig in when trouble may have confounded lesser men he volunteeredfought armed adversaries with exemplary tact steely resolve

                                                                          HELL  Trump hadnt spit to muster at Powells feet

he sensed she liked him right off

he liked being liked by a scientistliked the cut of her jib she studied peregrine falcons for the state

after meeting the first time when she came into the officehe worked with cellphones  if she had to wait to meet with him she took a seat

                 going through the lobby hed see her acknowledged her said I might be a halfhour maybe someone else could helpthough knew the answer

No, no thank you, I’ll wait for you. she smiled large  My day off, I’m in no hurry. he hurried to get to her

he was an affectionate man

                              their familiarity came fast by the third time they met he hugged hercaught her offguard

Didn’t see that coming, what a lousy hug I gave you, may we have another go?   Love to   they were physically fitmight have been able to crack a walnut between their bodies   There ya have it thats wha I call a hug  thereafter whenever they met they huggedhugged in the lobby

eyeballs bugged

she knew he was married

once his wife stopped by the office with their two girls he introduced her to them his wife said So you’re Sammy, Sammy the Scientist, peregrines, Joe’s enamoured with you, he mentions every time he sees you.

Thank you. Joe said you both studied biology in college, your girls are keen and prone to it as well. they exchanged a firm hand shake it was nice to see women shake who knew how to shake hands  his girls did too

before the peregrine study finished up Sammy had an opportunity in Wyoming  she said shed be insane if she let it slip through her fingers

                     she was picking up and leaving

he versed her on how to use her phone on the road told her hed manage her travel minutes after the fact so the company couldnt screw her with their deficient packages

Joe, you’re such a sweet guy. Too bad you’re married.

Thats kind of you to say Sammy

she reached over and took him by the wrist

                                               I have something for you. It’s illegal.

I prefer illict

she smiled bemusedshook her head You’re such a tease.

Ya get good at something when its the extent of how far ya can go

I know, I know. smiled sweetly now

                                        she handed him a state embossed envelope Inside is a peregrine feather. then she hugged him hard  I’m really, really going to miss you, Joe.

You know where to find me kiddo

Yes.  I do.

 

day and a half later she called him from the road

she couldnt take her whale bones  You have my address, there’s a trailer out back, they’re under it covered in canvas, if you like they’re yours.

Hellyah ya kiddin me  Ill head over after work

Yes, please, landlord’s stopping there tomorrow; I’m sorry it didn’t occur to me earlier, then I thought what better house could the bones have.

Sammy thank you Im grateful you thought of me

                                                   The girls are going to flipI aint breathing a word why Ill be late

Joe.

     I often think of you. 

there were two sperm whale rib bones and three teeth   also illegal he preferred illict 

he thought hed hear from her when she settled in Wyoming

                                                               never did

sometimes he had a hard time reading his handwriting

                                                        he remembered this particular scribbledone in tepid bluelight emitted from the television set across the room as he watched a DVD film

                                                                             the scribbleishness was exacerbated by the irritant of neighbours dogs barking on three sides of him when he first moved in there was one old dog wasnt much that excited an old dog sometimes he WOOFed but he thought it was probably nothing more than to hear its voiceNOW three yardsfive young dogs he was sure their barking was only to hear themselves and to compete with the other unseen dogs

he scribbled a large word that looked like SHUTUP Might have been SHTUP subliminally it was a German film the actress was comelyvery very attractive the veryverys were her breasts

                                                                              but push come to shove hed say SHUTUP

there was another scribblehe scribbled in capital letters What was that

                                                                                  he eyeballed it turned it upsidedown it was like him to fuck with himselfkeep himself amused because no one was around  he really scrutinised it

                                                                                                 then halfway down the page he saw a hint three distinct word he guessed A SAVAGE MAW  A SIMPLE MAW  A Definitely     A HMMP  Not MAWNot MAW  MAN  MANYes  A HMMP MAN   SINGLE SINGLE    Yes SINGLE  A SINGLE MAN 

                                                                                                       his scribble wasnt CALM AS FISH Which was very possibleit made sense the trout didnt freak when he went up to the glass tank and chose it for dinner it wasnt CALM AS FISH

                                COLIN FIRTH Didnt often read the name COLIN however that day evening Colin Powell was dead we lost a very good manhe forgave him being played by Cheneyhis address to the United Nations in the runup to the Iraq War Wha a fucking crime no heads rolled for that  lost a very good man a Statesman a moral compass   A moral man

Hmm  Powell was CALM AS FISH

                                   thats 10:10PM if ones unfamiliar with military time it shouldnt be deemed military credit where credit is due between 147 and 127 BCE before the common era Hipparchus of Nicaea proposed dividing day into 24 equinoctial hours 12 hours of daylight 12 hours of darkness same cat founded trigonometry  

the Canadian military came around to Hipparchus way of thinking in ’27 the United States threw in in ’42 CREDIT WHERE CREDITS DUE

when one thinks of time inevitably they think of life  think of death too

                                                                              he was mindful

he didnt spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of one or the other however recently death in particular had robbed him more times than hed care to admit and those deathstheir deaths have hobbled him

                                                                                                     yet he chooses to remember them everydaygreet them every morning always to remember something upbeatremember exploits he was party to a goodly some only they shared   their secrets

                                                               now only his

death would be a curious experience

                                     he didnt remember his curious experience into lifeHA he wouldnt remember his exit but it would be on his terms if he could help it

he intended to die the animal he was

                                        living in California he could tolerate the weather year in an out without heat without airconditioning it wasnt a matter of paying the bills it was a matter of living closer to the animal he was the animal men and women had been longer than beating the cold with a fire or bearing up to hot weather with ice

modern Americans were less than they had been

                                                     creatures of comfort

he was a creature of discomfort

I am going to die the animal I am

would he have the grit to see it through

12 hours of daylight 12 hours of darkness

 . . . with your whole life ahead of you.

comforting words

whaif  what if a person doesnt have their whole life ahead of them whawords do you utter now

rather than the crapshoot ya told em Ya have your whole life ahead of you

                                                                              too many he knew died overseas

he thought America after the Second World War would have been better served sending the senators representatives the President and his gunho Cabinet over  pat them on their backs tell them You have your whole life ahead of you

 . . . your whole life is a lie

                                  although it does sound something dandy

a friend survived Trump virus

when he thought he was doomed he asked his wife Let me go, please let me go.

                                                                                    she communicated that with the ICU nurses and doctors they removed him gave his bed to someone who didnt vaccinate  they died   without extraordinary help he survived 

he was back to status quo though weaker status quo was contending with dialysis  his kidneys weaker

what would he tell him when he was able to visit through glass at the rehab center  Ya got your whole life ahead of you

hed tell him

            Ya havent had your whole life until it is over You didnt know what was coming your way when you were a teenager a young man Ya hoped but ya didnt know   Every days a gift Read the card Untie the ribbon Unwrap it slowly

Yesterday you didnt know youd make it to today tomorrow ya got no idea about the day after

thats ones whole life

a day at a time

relish it

Ahshit . . great timing! one said without turning around You’re gonna stand up for ‘em. the others nodded

The ringleader has spoken Any of yaguys have an original thought without megaphone Mikes broadcast

                                                                                                              Monkey says monkey does

Wow! Not even a beer in, Mike nodded not even knowing what we’re talking about, you gotta jump down our throa . .

. . Yare the one talkin Provocation Yare gonna stand up for em A real leap of faithI know ya follow your wife to church yave said as much . . Mike

it got chilly

the three others eyeballed the toes of their shoes

he still hadnt joined the sloppy circlewas just offbehind Mikes shoulder

Yawere saying . . Mike

Mike turned slightly to face him We were talking about fat girls

Girls or women

                Weve had that conversation before

Fat women.

Whabout em

             I ask only because you guys aint the pick of the litter aint prime choiceaint  ones to talk

We’re not fat.

Yare stout  Not a sixpak among youme neither

But we’re not fat.

Nah A guys gotta get mighty fat obese before someone calls him fat

                                                                       On the otherhand if a woman hasnt a stellar bod mind ya no such woman would date yaguys if ya werent married  were dating because the playing field isnt level  Yad have to work for it to get a glance

You’re something else, I said you’d stand up for them.

We agree fat is cruel

Not if it’s deserved.

An yare the arbiter

I know what’s fat and what isn’t.

Althoughapparently you don know the difference between a girl and a woman

 

Ive forgotten why were we meeting tonight

                                             I don think it was to discuss fat girls

hed wake in the morning after a hefty night of lifting dreamsfighting his way out or traipsing tenuous labyrinths without Ariadnes helpthe Minotaur snortinghot on his heels no cinema wire to fly from wall to wall to keep out of reach poor Minotaur like the disfigured Hunchback of Notre Dame Poseidon couldnt resist himselfhad to have his finger in the pie  he sent a pure white bull to Minos who ruled Crete revealing his favour the bull was to be sacrificed to him but Minos owing to the animals beauty could not so as Gods and humans are petty Poseidon made Minos wife Pasiphae fall in love with the bull and bewitched or beGodded Pasiphae had Daedalus the craftsman fashion a hollow cow so she could mate with the bull same Daedalus who took the gig to build the Labyrinth where the Minotaur was held

seemed Daedalus got the clean end of the stick

                                                              until Minos caught wind he made the cow

imprisoned with his son Icarus clever Daedalus collected feathers and devised wings for their escape but Icarus flew too near the sunwho listens to their old man the beeswax melted and he plunged to his death into the sea  the sea  which seemed to him better than filthy city concrete anall the gawddamned people crowding roundsniffing blood later telling their psychiatrists what the explodedmeat Rorschach meant

                                                               which would have been revealed from above for posterity by intrepid New York Times Washington Post Wall Street Journal photographers  with their fucking iPhone or Android

play with a bull ya end up getting a horn

but mornings hed wake and before he could make his bed he found himself with a snoot full and have to stop get a handkerchief blow his nose

                            also seemed that going from prone to upright filled his bladder

which he emptied first was a coin toss

if he was a betting man it would have made for a more interesting morning

nose emptied

bladder emptied

bed made

he hustled to clean the catboxes and feed his ferals inside and out

                                                                     an during his hustle an antics he entertained himself with remembered dreams and WHY THE FUCK did he have them because he believed his dreams werent overnite entertainment but rather germane to his life and existence

with cats cared for coffee brewing he wrotefilled journals  journals that were every bit as filled to brimming as was his morning nose and bladder

he realises it every time he does it an it doesnt matter how long hes been doing it

                                                                                     it tickles him at a base level

as a kid film was accessible only at the theatre or as re-runs on televisionchecked the TV GUIDE as soon as it came the theatre wasnt a hit or miss he knew the twin-bill he was going to seecartoons beforehand through the door fifty cents popcorn fifteen cents box of Jujyfruits or Jujubes five cents sometimes he got a Dreamsicle from the vending machine in the lobby a tall pale green machine ten cents  

with the advent of VHS tapes video rental placesPalaces old movies new releases damn near-immediate gratification

slip it in the slot it was and has been much like sexlike fucking particularly for a guy   a kneeling blow job

DVDs are little different like communion press a buttonplatform slips out like a tongue a sleek gloryhole

                                                                                                              Body of Christ

Praise be to God  place the wafer on it he just found out Communion wafers can be bought at Walmartfuck Walmart  he was sure Satan had controlling interest in it  pissed his wife off when she wanted to go  he went with her but didnt go inside   You’re not coming in?   he finished her sentence Again  Have I ever gone inside . in all the years weve been together . have I ever   I don’t understand you.   Ive told ya you have religion  I don  if I went inside an saw someone who looked suspiciously like Satan incognito or bore a fleeting resemblance Id beat them unconscious without provocation  We cantI cant afford cops lawyers lawsuits or me penetratedhanging off a pitchfork in the ochre bowels of Hell

Praise be to God

                 he really liked the taste of the wafers made him smack his lips made his Grandmother furious when he went with her

             Vatican says Family Feudish Survey says bread and wafers used in the sacrament must be unleavened purely of wheat . . hosts that are completely gluten-free are invalid matter invalid matter . . hadnt conceived of bread as matter it is . are invalid matter for the celebration of the Eucharist

lay the DVD like a wafer down finger the button it slides into the machine to be swallowed

                                                                                                  very sexual

Yup

    feeding movies into his VHS/DVD player is titillating anhe aint overthinking it

he asked the barkeep for some more peanuts

                                                Ananother beer  the same pleaseAn  two fingers of Redbreast  Please 

he was distractedwas watching the picture on the television screen  it just began rolling  the bartender wasnt able to get it to stop

              a slow roll

actually it made him pay keener attention to what was being said  or explained

the barkeep returned  peanuts beer Irish

                                            he shelled peanutsthrew them on the floor  he was pretty sure if there was a heaven he was sitting in its lap

                                 more so if the roll stoppedsuddenly he was transfixedsmitten by the reporters name flashed on the screen under her chin

                                      Whoa Kenny he said to the barkeep  Whadaya make of that name

he looked  Unique. Kenny wasnt impressed

Unique  thats all ya gotUnique

A mouthful.

     Kenny looked down the bar  Excuse me, I think I’m needed.

he didnt look it was early afternoonthings didnt pick up till Happy Hourshours off 

                                                                                       Ya better go  Ill likely enjoy it more by myself

           he took a red BIC pen from behind his ear and scribbled the gals name on the paper held in the Bear-of-a-Clip clipboard he rescued from a trashcan at a military base  he was driving truckdelivering desks for a furniture company  he thought he might be creeped inside the facilitythat THEY might know he refused the draft  rather than report he went on a crosscountry road trip and stayed on it for three years until after Nam was buttoned upHow the World’s Mightiest Power Lost the Viet War was the headlines on the Miami Herald  how he ended up in Miami he couldnt remember the exact circumstances  though honestly in all likelihood it was the port where lots of hashish went through and he liked it  want fresh corn  go to the Midwest  entirely sensible

                                                            the clipboard was functionalthe clip sloppy  a sloppy clip was character  he was a huge fan of character

                                             and scars

before Happy Hour Kenny walked up to him 

                                               Renne called, she traded hours with Evelyn, she said if you were here to let you know. You know.

Thanks Kenny more than you kno . .

. . Ohno, I know, if I wasn’t a married man and have this bar to lose, I’d run against you.

Youd lose

You think.

As yasaid I know 

                    Ya can imagine Kenny lemme settle up  Fixing or replacing the tube 

Awwell, I think I’ll have to enter the future, the wife’s been after me to replace it and hang one or two other screens; you know, appeal to younger clientele.

Theyre idiots Your beers second to none Your place is the only place I tout in this one-horse town

What the hell does that mean, one-horse?

One-horse one-whore Small man small

I thought so; say Hi to Renne for me. Wanna put the drinks on your tab?

I don keep a tab I want you to have your money immediately Don want you going anywhere

Hello Renne he said as she opened the door for him  I had my fingers crossed youd carry out your threatblow off work make our rubber match

Rubber match? I’ve dominated you.

DominatedI took you out back last night and spanked yatanned yer fanny Ill grant ya got the best of meoverwhelmed me the night prior I sensed you liked me though I didnt imagine that much

Didn’t imagine, your imagination is an artesian well, why wouldnt you imagine?

For the obvious reason lookin outside in

Have you always been inside and outside of situations?

For a long time nowa long time I wasnt always patient or thoughtful Now I cant think otherwise My girls say Im mindful now to a fault

                        Speaking of which have you ever heard the surname Goodykoontz  saw a female reporter on television with that name

Lemme guess, erotic images?

Haha must say I immediately thought of your koontz

                                                      Anhow damn goody it is

You sweet talker.
