. . . seminal . . . 

                 ofcourse he knew how it was spelledunderstood of a work an event a moment a figure strongly influencing later development

but he preferred it spelt semenal keep it in close sexual  a blowtorch heating the heart or at very least close to his   

as usual he distracted himself 

                                 Im sorryexcuse me   Again Semenal wha

he harrumphed Harrumph well excuse me 

                                                 I need interludesintermissions so ya don bore me all to hell

I was talking about seminal thinking. 

Thinking There wasnt a damn thing we talkedbout invited semenal thinking  Unless   You happen to be inside my head 

      Then lotsa gooeysticky semenal things splashinround seeking cleavages in your dull forays

he cleared his throat What are you talking about?

I was talkinbout sexual tension present inside Italian restaurants McDonalds Carls Junior curly fries Subway pizzaNAH no some joints got tha jive   anya meandered off about a restaurant in Italia which you know for damn sure Ive never been swinging the needle back to yourself 

                                                         You have sex inside that cant-remember-the-name ristorante

   No.

You make love tohave sex with a woman over fortyfour

Yes.

I havent anya know my age 

                              So excuse me all to hell when you propose a weak ristorante memoryFUCK yacant remember whaya had for dinner during this mindblowning semenal experience

                                                                                   And and and an  you shared it with your three cousins all guys

Follow my drift

No place Id rather eat out than at a good Italian restaurant candlelight jug house vino 

Why don’t we chalk it up to a difference of ways.

   Sure Why not 

                    But brother we aint even on the same planet

she said she could read his palm

Mebbe to freshen up a bit yacoud  mebbe yacoud start with my mind 

I’m not a mind reader . .

. . Really his hard-on was evident her hand rested high on his thighhad been there since they took a seat on folding chairs after dancing to rockanroll   disco forced them off their feetsomething else they had in common   

she was suddenly sheepish 

                           was one of his many recruits off the street

Ah but yare 

Stop. she giggledthen laughed  hadnt let go of his leg 

Feels wonderful

Would you stop?

You think I can control this

her sheepishness went to fluster 

they were at an eighthfloor rooftop dorm party

he met herrolled to a stop at her feet straddling one her ankles

What the hell are you doing? 

You enthused me

                  Woudya come to a party later this eveningbring some girlfriends  therell be lotsa of people there if I concern you  my seemingly seemingly over-the-top anticsNO I intended to get your attention  Driving pastyellin dumb ridiculous  excuse me  passe.

   she rolled her eyes Passe? Really? And jumping from a moving car? 

Inspired 

         Thats on you you inspired me

   You could have hurt yourself.

Only hurt here is if you don show tonight  he handed her a card printed with the dorm address

Oh I see, you’ve thought this through . .

. . The card isnt my idea 

he was asked again to roust up some women 

                                                Come on Let someone else loosehave a go                                                   

Are you kidding me? Last time you smoked it. Why would this time be different? Let loose to your own devisesaint a soul among us who’s got what you got.  You just do whatever it takes . . I understand. 

                                                                                       he referred to his enthusiasm an his propensity to accelerate the same in women

soft green grass landings compelled him to jump 

                                                  athletic he knew how to fall roll not hurt himself he practised it wasnt in the terms of the crummy idiom his first rodeo 

Awright  Ill tell ya wha 

What? 

liking her trended higher Wha 

Yahwhat?

   Can I say Im really enjoying you

Yes, you can say . . 

. . Im really enjoying you

Ohmy . . there you have ityou’ve said . . I’m happy you did.

   Me too

          Ill tell ya wha

Yes.

If I letya have a shot at reading my palm mebbe laterthen woudya try reading my mind

she laughed didnt cover her mouth 

                                      collecting herself If they stop the disco return to rockanroll . . you’ll dance with me again.

After reading my mind 

No.

     I think if I get to reading your mind we won’t make the dance floor.

Hmm good point 

                   Better read my palm real quickbut first  is there such a thing as a line for death and destruction

There’s a life line, which could be read if you would, as death. 

                                                                  Destruction. No. 

Okay 

       Thought mebbe

Death destruction, pretty dark stuff.

There ought to be the opposite of a cloud with a silver lining  Cant have oneseems to me without the other

Can’t say I’ve considered that.

You may havestill early were young 

                                       Its called the fine print

                 Unless you intend to use a catbox

Maybe I will.

I have when theyve pissed me off 

                                      Though Ive decided it wasnt in my best interest  to be the bigger person   Im who has to clean it up

Logic in that Or you could hire someonelet them clean it up.

Counterproductive to pay someone to do something I can do 

                                                                     he staunched a laugh in his throat I aint you 

   You’re not me. 

                    What’s that crack supposed to mean?

Not a crack Yare a person of meanshave always been Money might be a solution for youhasnt been for me 

                                                                                                                 No crack statement of factin fact not even a knock  I understand somebodys got to do it and the jobs fallen to you Im also a realistmonetarily speaking  Have or have not

So you’re not jealous? 

No

     You havent got my looksmy mind If I had your money Idve been devastating he didnt staunch that laugh

beginning of the year  darkness has grown deeper every year since

when he looked forward into it the brightlycoloured Christmas lightsflickering Hanukah candles reflect sharper 

   the darkness is the mirrors silver 

   as a boy that tickled him

he could kneel by the front windowpull the drapes aside and see the wintry outdoorshis face like a ghosts paintedilluminated over it 

                             then he believed in ghosts    then he understood that his stayhis let was not permanent

when none of his playmates understood what he was talking about he went to his oldest friends his parents 

they confirmed what he assumed 

Grandmother they lived with her on the first floor of a two-flat house would die.

Your aunt and uncle who live above you will die.

I his mother said will die, your father who couldnt bring himself to talk to himnot without reason will also die.

he shrugged mournful Then whats all of this about

she smiledran her finger down his cheekhis jawhis chin pinched it between her finger and thumb as she often did her affection 

          You know it as well as I do.   It’s just occurred to you much sooner than most.

she was not comforting

I should lie to you? 

   No

No.

the darkness grows nearer

if he lives long enough it will encroachenvelope the beautiful electriclights swallow  the beeswax candles 

they will continue to burn

but he wont be able to see them

purposefully he shunned comforts 

most are momentary temporary   insincere   

although he had a particular one one he repeatedly returned to  it was irreplaceable

                                                                                           if anyone ever askedthey hadnt

he woudnt try to explain they hadnt a comparable experience and sharing his would demean it 

theyd hear his words but wouldnt be unable to wrap their brain around them

his comfort was across the hall from his bedroom in the laundry room

he washed his clothing at night when he went to bed

                                                         the sound of it was the brother or sister to the soundthe wash of Huey rotor blades made so many years ago incountry plucking him to safety from behind enemy lines inside through sliding doors or dangling under it from stirrups loops to thrust his arms through and cinch  fly  most who risked it were the same guys except one pilot first snatch Warrant Officer Mack he took a bullet from the jungleno one heard the shot it came up through the bellystruck him under his chinout the top of his head blew his right eye out they didnt find it but in desperate moments retrieving him over two years they blackjoked Mack had his eye on them  theyd be fine theyd make it

four Hueys were lost retrieving him

Mack was the only man who didnt make it

vandals doesnt cover it

He was a god

wore a toga

was muscled up as only gods can be

though this cat wore a crewneck tshirt under his toga

something was written on it

he coudnt make it out through the toga was made of durable materialnot gauzy  anticlimactic anticlimaxtic goddesses were built too but no peekaboo 

                                      which was likely fortunate for him they fuckedround with mortals  because they coud

Whas ah  printed on your tshirt 

I had a point to make.

   Awright ookay  Maybe we can swing back to it

He glared at him

Or not Im a curious sort

I could complete you, turn you into a cat. 

No  no thanks 

                Though you might understand my curiosity far as I can tell yare the only god wearing a tshirt 

My choice, we make up things as we go along I do whatever I want.

Yes yare ah  welcome to tha

I had a point to make.

Ya said

I think it was something about . about . . . vaginal travesty . . yes yes he sighed I had a point.

Sounds unfortunate 

                       Vaginally Ive not met a travesty   Not oncenot ever

His eyes shifted sideways to him  You’re not a god, are you?

No

   No   Im not a god

No you’re not . I’m exhausted. 

                                   sighed again  Think I’m gonna take five have a Red Bull.  Want one?

   No thank you

You don’t want a Red Bull.

he wasnt one to move off principle No thank you

What if I insist?

No thank you I don drink them  Knock yourself out

He fumbled at a loosethread at the crewneck 

                                                 Suit yourself. 

Thank you
