sipping his coffee he made a disturbed face

   took a smaller sip

face looked creepier 

                     How’s your coffee? he asked

saw him make faces 

                       Havent touched mine yet 

Take a sip.

Why

Just take a sip.

Why

Mine tastes funny.

their coffee was from the same pot they drank it black why is it when someone tastes something off they want someone else to taste it too

It tastes funny

   Yes.

Ill take you at your word good enough for me 

                                                immediately he got up dumped his out into the sink

But you didn’t taste it.

I didnt but let me say this if something taste off  like feet or shit to me Id tell ya I woudnt have you taste it

But it may just taste odd to me.

As I said your words good for me Ill make a fresh pot  Yamake this one

No, it was already brewed. 

                             I can’t believe you dumped your coffee without tasting it. 

he filled a clean carafe with water from the cooler

flipping the lid of the coffeemaker to fill the reservoir he recoiled 

                                                                    Iah think  I found the problem 

Problem?

Why your coffee tasted off or bad or whaever it did

standing up from the breakroom table What?

The djinn

The djinn?

naked mottledbluecoloured the djinn put a finger to his redlips attempting to shush him

Yah 

took his finger from his mouthpointed it threateningly at him

Yah there was no love lost between them he didnt think the company shoudve enlisted his services bought into his vague promises of success and wealth 

                       Yah Seems hesah using the reservoir as a hot tub        

djinn floundered getting up on his elbows to get to his feet

he slapped the lid shutunplugged it briefly considered the basement incineratorNAH instead pitched the coffee machine into a chute that had been erected outside the breakroom that ended in a dumpster as two suites were being remodeled

not a believer he wasnt anymore fearful of him than he was of God

Hey he said it in the ubiquitous manner one would when they had something over the other or their thought unimpeachable 

                           he often stoodrailed unimpeachable which angeredenraged many but who let their heat go knowing cocksure in his vocabulary  was in fact cocksure 

                                                            they liked himbut also detested him at once   he should have been an esquire his failing was that he preferred fists to his voice reckoningarguing to victory was milquetoast to helping up or being helped up from a bareknuckled brawl had he lost more frequently maybe he wouldnt be so offensive 

                                                                                                                                 MEBBE 

they felt they wanted to spit Hey what?

I just learned I cant commit suicide

Jesus Kahrist you come out of rightfield gangbusters . . whaddaya mean . you can’t?

Nope  Cant

            Church let me off the hook he was steeped in Catholicism but dumped the tea when he recognised where it was leading him

Let you off, in particular?

Yes an I imagine anyone who thinks like I do Cant imagine Church woud offer me dispensationnot the Church I know UHUH  not no way in Hell

You’re so assured . . 

. . Ive fucked in pews 

What?

   Yah

Might suppose you can be assured . . 

. . Bareassed the crucifix

                          Though to be sure the way Christs head is lolled he coudnt see  Not that Im shy 

NO.  You are not shy. 

                       So what are you braying aboutunable to commit suicide.

Yes Its called exitus animae  Exit leave Id concur with Jung ones true inner self

So how do you regard it in light of not committing suicide . . if you commit suicide?

The Church weighed in on the implications of what once were iron lungs now ventilators It decided it was permissible to turn off the machine in hopeless cases if  if the soul had left the bodyTHAT said it isnt possible I can commit suicide committing suicide

eyes rolledhe sighed How’s that?

My soul if ever was  abandoned me for greener pastures long long ago 

                                                                           Thereby  exiting  Id just be switching off the machine 

You know . . yourah . thought process is disturbing.

   Yah

         Will be tough to turn it offbeen too much fun

            “Your money is not charity. It’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.”

   charity 

what was charitable is that certain ignoble Red politicians sceptical that Russia is terrorising Ukraine were allowed to attend  seemingly they were there to spite it

perhaps it is their understanding that charity begins in the home 

                                                                     perhaps aberrantly mistakenthough he wouldnt be surprised  assuming their fortune was that they grewup wellprovided silver spoons between their teeth  wherein Proverbs 22:6 says Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

reading the word he thought it sounded like him  he had readheard it before but wouldnt bet wasnt a betting man exactly what it meant 

                but it sounded like him                  

he went to his American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language in red binding the first dictionary ever to publish the definition of fuck 1969 and WhellshitNO oneiric wasnt in it oneiromancy was  n. Divination by dreams hmmm

then he went to his New Oxford American Dictionary 2005  oneiric  There we go  adj. formal  of or relating to dreams or dreaming  coined in 1859 from Greek oneiros dream  he went a step furthur discovering oneirocritic mouthful “a judge or interpreter of dreams” coined during the 1650s from Greek oneirokritikos “of or pertaining to the interpretation of dreams” from oneirokrites “interpreter of dreams” from oneiros “a dream” + krites “discerner, judge” (see critic)(he wouldnt hadnt any appreciation of them no more than he had for a life coach) 

                                                                                             Why belabour it 

because the only one who can truly interpret their dreams is he or she who had them  he was adamant the dreamer is like a child who is given a ball they have no experience with if paying attention one would see the child turn the ball over and over in their handslooking it round and round seeing every aspect of it unfortunately adultsfamiliar with balls distinguishes BALL

                          Why go furthur

Did you dream

I did.

Whadya dream

   I don’t remember.

I dont remember  feeble 

                         he rememberedonly could wished he was able to filmrecord them  they were astonishing

two nights back he dreamt of attending a gathering of people who augmented their bodies  he was the only one there who wasnt tattooed or augmented  one man had a boneribbed skinwebbed frill duckfeet that ran behind his head across his shoulders like that of a stegosaurus  another somehow lengthened his optic nerveshis eyeballs blinking at the end of retractable stalks  like snails      

                                he kept passing outbelieved his drink was spiked  coming to hed find several around him trying to pierce himaugment him  hooks that anchored thin wires off which small intricatelyworked bells and brightblinking coloured lights hung  he tore them offripped his skin  in a slidingglass door he caught his bloodied reflection  they stripped him down to his gray Jockey fitted boxers  marooncolour streaking them 

                                                                                                       through the same slidingglass door he eventually escaped onto a balcony suspended over black water  jumping in under it opening his eyes he saw an underlit sea its rocking surface reflecting him as in a funhouse mirror  his wounds oozed  they looked like stringshe looked like a marionette

   hes still working on that dream

but he would

he was oneiric

as the country braces for a Christmas and other religions bomb cyclone that will drive 81% of it under freezing temperatures there is warm comfort in knowing that the Biden Administration increased NOAAs (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) budget while the prior administration every year of its pitiful existence sought to reduce by 17% as well sought to diminish EPAs (Environmental Protection Agency) budget

this bomb cyclone is described as a “once-in-a-generation” event

A famous short story we read it in grade school  

an uncomfortable dullness crept into eyes  

Or perhaps I read it in grade school  We grew up a thousand miles apart were educated by different systemsbut   but I cant believe yours wasnt on par with mineya didnt go to some inner city school that was deprived of funding

You know I didn’t.

So  Shirley Jackson  The Lottery

the dullness fused

                   Premise, what’s the premise . . maybe I’ll remember then.

Small village a ritual lottery everyone without exception included whoever is chosen is stoned by the villagers 

No. 

he was beside himselfpushed his phantom doppelganger down 

                                                           NO I believe it was taught throughout America its a classic
