O kind compassionate loving God

    he wasnt a fan

                    Hell Lots wife was warned not to look back she did ofcourse she did she was curious  they hadnt the proverb Curiosity killed the cat cats werent pets then  He turned her into a pillar of salt

speaking for himself he wouldnt have looked back though if it were Medusa hed toss her an eyeball

                                                                                                         Ohmygoodness, you’re hard as rock.

Nonsense is liberating

                        though it really bugged him that the Bible hasnt a name for Lots wife  shes Lots wife   yet some Jews – they have a name for everything  like the Germans – call her Ado or Edith  Ado means agitation fuss frustration  Much Ado About Nothing   Shakespeare knocked it out of the park

he liked to think they thought alike  

He acted pretty severe when Ado/Edith threw a peek over her shoulder then the Crumb banished her from the Bible 

she was due billing 

Lots wife didnt cut it

                      Fer CHRISTSAKE Jews have seven seven   he believed seven names for God

Elohim ah him 

El Shaddai  shady

Ehyeh

Tzevaot

he was grateful they afforded her Ado or Edith

                                                   

Aah he was just plugging along seeking purpose  one should have purpose even if every once in a while its inane

such as now

               It helped him put one foot down after the other

         Well

                            he was found outhis bailiwick revealed

he wasnt inobvious

the elephant in the room

he had a hard-on about phonaesthetics cellar door

                                                    it was not the most beautiful sound of a combination of words in all history anhe could give a shit that J R R Tolkien said it he wasnt a linguist a cunning linguist but a philologist one who studies texts ancient texts  a lover of words

it was his chore to knock cellar door off its pedestal

                                                       he didnt want it broken it was a pleasant sound he just wanted Google search 173,000,000 results in (0.78 seconds) to populate cute cunt or rawawkwardness cellophane floor optic cup or even most recently rock a Mohawk ahead of it

he would keep plugging away until Tolkien and cohorts C S Lewis E A Poe it wasnt E A it was Edgar Allen who the night before he died cried out Reynolds Reynolds repeatedly a deathbed Rosebud  C F Kane it wasnt C F rather Charles Foster  THE Citizen Kane

                            keep plugging away until cellar door conceded its surfeit of acknowledgment 

even Mick Jagger stepped aside and let Lisa Fischer own Gimme Shelter her haunting vocals rape, murder, it’s just a shot away, a shot away

                          give an upancoming challenger a shot at the title rather than ignore an refuse them as they rap at your cellar door

Siamese shed

                 a new phonaesthetic for his list

where tha come from

from his eightynine year old barberthey got talking about pets Ya got a pet

I do, two cats inside and three ferals outdoor.

You like catshuh

No.

    The Siamese are my wife’s. She passed away last year and left them. The three outdoor were my neighbors. He moved to Oregon last year, left them, and they found me.

When my wife said she wanted the cats I said No.

She told me they didn’t shed, and got them anyways.

Might suppose the price we pay to keep our women happy

Perhaps.

          A week in I pointed at the carpet and asked my wife What’s that? What IS that?  She crept up on it slowly, watching it the whole way, then turned, relief painted across her face and said It’s shed.   Shit? I asked   Shed, shed, it’s shed.  Then realised I was playing with her.

Siamese shed

               Say that three times real quick

Hmmm?

Humming humming Michelle

Hmm . . . maybe.

You are

Imagine that.

Wha are you thinkin

Was thinking of a girl I dated when I was twentysixtwentyseven . . she, Michelle, was nineteentwenty. When she crosses my mind I think . . and thinking of her always makes me think of the song.

Ya sound bittersweet

Was, a bit . . it was . she was gorgeous.

Care to say

What the hell why not, I ain’t gonna remember I told you.

he would

           What happened

We dated through the winter, skied Tahoe, up to Utah, some great times, my God she was a minx. he sighed could tell he was running instant-replays Then early February she said she was going to Hawaii for three weeks, had an invitation.

I didn’t press.

The night she got back we picked up right where we left off; smoking hot.

Then the next day, shit, my privates were itchy.

had an idea

I went to a doctor. I had crabs.

                                An of course I had to let her know I may have infected her. I felt terrible, just awful, I knew she shared a bed with her sister, I didn’t want her entire family to get them.

                                                                                         I felt absolutely horrible.

Youah youahsleep with anyone while she was in Hawaii

No. he glared at him  I was dating her, I didn’t want to screw up a good thing.

     Ah

         absently not really he began humming Michelle my belle

Great song, isn't it?

                     an he began humming along with him

       Yah yah he nodded  a lonesome sigh was in it

                                                           feeling like he lost it   was not romantic anymore

Whadid he feel

                               

                                  he felt joylaughed harder than most 

he was compassionateNO wrong empathetic    compassionate wasnt right

he had just heard The Hounds of Winterhadnt ever heard it before he wasnt a fan of Stingthough  he was a fan of lyrics

       “I walk through the day/My coat around my ears/I look for my companion/I have to dry my tears/It seems that she’s gone/Leaving me too soon/I’m as dark as December/I’m as cold as the Man in the Moon” 

        he heard

                 understood the code

he couldnt say he dried lovelorn or romantic tears since he was a young manbefore he married

it was possiblevery possible he reserved his tears for things inevitable grief sorrow   when they strike he was invested

he cant mustnt expend them for romance  things romantic

he had strong relationships  friendships

                                                                 NO  he wasnt romantic

he eyeballed a feral cat  wee    perhaps enviously  Perhaps

                                                                        You do that  he should have waited to ask until after he tipped his beer

bringing his glass down swallowing

                                        Excuse me, what?

he pointed at wee  she continued

                                    That Can you do thatlick your spine

Lick my spine, why . . why would I want to do that?

Think how bendy youd bethink of all the yoga practitioners youd make envious  Perhaps

No.  I wouldn’t want to lick my spine.

Areya nuts

              Yare gonna dismiss it out of hand  without a thought

Without a thoughtyeah . . ya know why?

I don

Because you’ve given it a thought. I suspect you’ll share it with me so your head doesn’t explode.

It aint gonna to explode

From where I’m standing yaoughta see yourself . . it looks like it hurts. 

                                                                           So say.

Yare pretty confiden . .

. . Confident?  I’d bet money on it. 

                                     You know Im unswayed by absolutes. I’d absolutely bet.

    Fuck

          Yare not going to give it a teensy weensy thought

Any thoughts you ask me to consider are doomed to be teensy weensy in comparison to how you think, what you think . . where your mind's at and how it'll go.

                                           No.

Well yare more direct than I imagined

                                         But had you given yourself the time it took you to regurgitate that sentence  think about licking your spine  you might have surprised yourself.

Why should I surprise myself when you’re so capable and do?

he was having a lucid day couldnt argue with him

Your head’s swelling.

It is not

Say it.  Say what the ability to lick my spine would provide me.

You could blow yourself

                              Awwwell  that seemed a stretch he bobbed on the whitewash of humanUnkindness like loose flotsam despiteDESPITE his enthusiastic optimism

                                                           though to be honest sometimes he couldnt tell if his glass was half fullhalf empty because he couldnt see into it it was dull opaque probably unwashed he might have been cheated by a lousy bartender in his old neighbourhood he was used to generous pours

                                                                                  that occurred to him as a fellow diner couldnt restrain themselvesassumed everyone at their table believed in GodGAWD the diners wellspringhis fountainhead   He had provided for mankind humankind

                                                   I believe in the natural human species  Humane human beings have no need of Gawd They are inherently good  Although they can be perverted trained like chimps if they didnt learn to rely on themselves or in the goodness of others if theyve been taughthave learned to be suspicious

not to be thwarted Certainly God has a plan for all those who believe in Him 

soitenly a favourite word Curly one of the Three Stooges used

                                                                 I have an equationya like equations Im being rhetoricalnot looking for an answer God to a natural human being equals Alien Likewise Alien equals God

he walked down to the street so she didnt have to come up the long drive

getting in he leaned overtook her hand kissed her eagerly before strapping in

                                                                                 Good morning

Tasty kiss, love, good morningWhat’s up? she grinned like the Cheshire Cat

Wha are you grinning at

Grinning at you. What’s up?  Looks like you’re going to pop.

Tipped my hand

she laughed out loud  didnt cover her mouth

                                                 You’re somethingevery time you meet me on the street you got something brewing inside that wonderful head of yours.

Its that obvious

Stop it, I know you inside out.

I know you though cant say inside out.

Understandable, you’re not as deep as me.

Jesus

       she burst out laughing againJOYOUSLY he loved she didnt cover her mouth 

Whatcha got, baby?

Do ya know wha a swarm of butterflies is called

It’s called a swarm.

Yes it is  theres also another name for it

       she pausedsearched her mind

                                            Another name . . another name . . . no.

                                                            Its called a kaleidoscope  kaleidoscope isnt tha coolso damn appropriate attractive

Gimme the kaleidoscopecoloured scoops pleaseHA

You're something.  Well . . . that leads me to ask you.

Ask me ask me wha

       his turn to lose his shit

a trouble of barflies

they always had candid conversationsprided themselves on honesty brutally honest in his case Max was gentle but that was because he tried to not hurt anyones feelings

You should be kinder.

Kinder gets ya wasted time

Wasted time?

Certainly things can be identifieddistilled to their discrete parts quickly agreedisagree  I cut to the chase more often than not people prefer to drag their feet  impatiently I cut to the quick end the kerfuffle

Kerfuffle. Haven’t heard that word in a long time. Sounds like a sweet dessert.

                                                                                   At least you recognise you’re impatient.

I become impatient when people drag their feet 

                                                  Otherwise I can be patient

                                                                             Youve seen that

I have.

Yes Ya don drag your feet

I do not, but then you usually bring me around . quickly . . present yourself . concisely; leave little wiggle room.

Thanks Max

You’re welcome.

                    So what have you heard from your girlfriend?

Radio silence

               Seems lots of women in my life have gone radio silent

Perhaps because you allo NO . no . . provide them room, their space.

Thats a no-brainer

I wouldn’t say that, I have trouble when people go silent on me.

Theyre working their way through things Why would we interrupt  That would be rude

I’m sure I could help.

If they wanted your help theyd ask

So how do you step back, restrain yourself?

Knock on woodI cant remember a time I felt compelled to restrain myself

                                                                            I believe no news is good news

No news is no news.

 Ouch

         I think you hurt my lone feeling

              Thats why Im asking

he searched his thoughts  Okay, give you that.  I said mode; you're lucky.

Don I know it  Thank you

                             I asked because immediately I thought Id rather find a mode on a woman  than a mood

walking back out onto the front porchreturning to his beer I think I just suffered an oral Rorschach.

that hobbled him Whadaya mean Lot goinon in that statement man

You said it, gotcha, I understand. Hear me out. he took a sip of beer This beer is so tasty, thank you.   Yare welcome  Usually when I go to the bathroom I run the fan; I forgot to turn it on. So after I flushed the toilet I heard it . . . it is oral, correct?

Aural

Oral, that's what I said.

Aural a-u-r-a-l not o-r-a-l I believe by your pronunciation you were seeingsaying o-r-a-l

Anyou’re right, I saw it as I was saying it . .

. . So you can do two things at once

                                      an ongoin point of contention

Evidently he admittedchuckled

                                  But I prefer not to.

Honest as the days long

I am.

A Rorschachs an inkblot

                          You heardsuffered an aural inkblot Youll have to explain it to me furthur

What I mean is . it wasn’t mono, it started mono then switched to stereo . . . that make sense?

It did

      Was it aural in sound or did you hear a voice Yadid say from the toiletemanated from the toilet

Yes. he sipped his beer

                         Sounded like a woman whispering.

Could you make out her words

No no, she spoke too softly.

Didya kneel down put your head nearer your museHA  Nearer my Gawd to thee

Muse?

      You think a muse.

Muse or witch

               Which

he sighed Don’t do that.

Confuses yayou got do two things at once

                                            Just wordplay fingering words I like to be fingered Id suspect words like to be fingered too

I’m losing my train of thought.

Yare fine I rolled it onto a siding for ya

Im . . I’m at a loss . .

. . Put your head in the toilet

                               Usually its just your mind

My mind?

I don mind

Not my mind.

Saying it doesnt make it so Concede or concur   I like either

JesusChrist Can’t you just be thrilled for me that I came up with aural Rorschach?

I am thrilled

             Yare really way outside your lane on a siding   Im surprised your head hasnt exploded

Keep it up it might.

Threats threats always threats

What do you mean?

Im following me

                  Yaoughta get in line an follow us

What do you mean?

Wha do you mean

Nothing huh

Nah. Nothing.  I just wanted to share with you.

Not an anal Rorschachtell me you cleaned it up before yacame out here

Awright final try Yacouldnt make out wha your muse whispered

                                                                    Because ya refused to put your head down nearer her voice Her voice Arent I nice tha I didnt accuse you of havin your head in the toilet again

he looked blandlytook a long pull on his beer finished it

                                                           Think I could have another?

he drained his

                Ill join you

going into the house walking side by side through the livingroom he said Do you think you could let this go?

Let go for now

Yes. Now.
