one elite SCORPION unit loved lovedloved clever cops  was being facetious  an acronymCHRIST  Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods  got to be a bitter pill to swallow 

   Tyre Nichols

he didnt watch the beating video Mr Nichols family released

hed rather watch people fuck than violence against each other                                                                                                                               Comon man Memphis sits virtually on the corner of Tennessee Arkansas Mississippi OHJOY

So what are you saying?

Last time you were in those states

Ive never been.

Visiting any time soon

Unlikely.

Rest my case Five Memphis black officers were involvedhave been charged

Yes. What’s your issue?

Don call black officers elite Could go to their headsobviously went to their heads Cops tend to think themselves above the lawtheyre party to the state represent the state Shit like tha can go to ones head

So why not call them elite?

For the very reason Mr Nichols is dead Call someone elite theyll buy into it 

                                                                              Lemme ask you You were a teacher If the School Board called you an elite teacher woud you buy into tha or woudya push backwoudya push back yare just doing your job 

Maybe yare the wrong person to ask I woudif anyone dare label me elite while I was working Id be in their face like white on rice  unless I was wild or brown rice  DON NEED NO LABELS  Just doing my fuckin job

You think elite may have gone to the officers heads?

   Something did 

                  Lemme put it this way One doesnt have to call white police officers elite Whether they are or not they believe they are Calling white officers elite is redundant

You got a fucked up way at looking at things.

No not necessarily 

                    More than a thousand people over each of the last three years have been shot to death by police  Excluded are beatings or people who commit suicide while in police custody

The state the police kill people execute people extrajudicially I mean outside being arrested charged tried by their peers 

Thas fucked up

his friends friends complained bitterly to him that his texts were awful werent cogent  they lacked continuity were littered with misspellings and used acronyms they werent familiar with  thought he was being clever  

he nodded as his friend explained

You agree?

You write shitty texts

Shitty.

Yes and for all the reason theyre complaining about I follow

You don’t complain. 

   Maybe Im more patient

                           You have to admit I rivet you with question after question Ya have a habit shooting from the hip which makes them uncoordinated fail linearly   

How do you mean?

Its possible they don wanna take the time to contend try an read decipher them You fail to give them how to say   critical  not critical thas not the word tha is a word however  Im lookin for another   Not clinical though easily a descriptor too  but not the word Im looking forFACK 

                                                      Temporarily Ill say critical other word uses many of the same letters

Ill come up with it 

Your texts are stilteddifficult difficult to comprehend Theyre supposed to be easy an excuse me for saying  Whayave told me  They tend towards gossip

We don’t gossip.

Ya do  Ya talkbout other people behind their backs

   They probably talk behind ours.

he rolled his eyes You don know tha shook his head I gotta spring Wittgenstein on you again

You best . . I never remember.

No ya don  Whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent 

                                                                   Ya don so shaddup

AH  Intricate

Intricate?

Yes the word Your texts arent intricatelack intricacy critical wording  background 

                                                                                       Knew Id remember

comma

another night spent dreaming of a wordseemed all night  he couldnt recall any interruptions commercial breaks alleviations 

            a flash card turned  COMMA  hed say Comma  the card was placed face down  the next card turned  COMMA  he said it again  card was placed face down  next one turned  COMMA  and thats how the night went the dream passed until his bladder gave him an excuse to excuse himself and wake 

he took a leak and returning to the bedroomthe bed beckoning  he declined   to his cats he asked Whadasay Time to get the show on the road 

                          he cheatedsmacked his lips  over the years it had been his way of informing them they were going to eat 

cats like humans are creature of habit  routine 

                                                 they also knew theyd eat after he made his bed 

his bed wanted to be made like he wanted to be made 

                                                         Sorrybabe  Make you tonight

making her  thinking about COMMA  he found that after readingrepeating COMMA in his mind Bring up the dead occurred to him  Bring up the dead 

                                    now his dreaming influencing his consciousness 

after feeding the cats he went to his dictionary 

COMMA

         via Latin from Greek komma  ‘piece cut off also short clause piece cut off’ from koptein ‘cut’

Bring up the dead

Piece cut off 

            pretty fuckin accurate

recently too many pieces were being cut off in his life 

                                                        like he needed his dreamed-self and dreaming-self to remind him

You like to rank women

Rank? 

   Yes  little surprised ya asked Typicallyyoud agree you look at women through a lens of attractiveness on a scale of one to ten . .

. . Most things are considered on a scale of one to ten. 

Things 

          Which is unfortunate gauche

You don’t.

I don regularly inhabit places where livestock present 

                                                          Livestock  I don imagine thas too audacious in regards to your perceptions sensibilities   Is it

I don’t consider women . .

. . Consider at a glance anshoud they appeal you continue to watch them 

                                                                              For instance Carla Youve been meeting her for monthstalk about her anyet yet  yave not oddly  mentioned her looks

Carla’s looks . .

. . On a scale of one to ten

his head dippedshied to a side asif trying to slip a slap a punch

On a scale of one to ten

   I’d say sixseven . seven.

Six or seven

Seven. 

        Yes. his head relaxedhe committed 

Yawant tenths

No. I don’t want tenths no.

Theyre there

No. I’m good. Seven.

Awright Standing on seven

Christyeah seven. 

                   Where you going with this?

Lemme ask If Carla overheard your sixseven seven   Woudshe be happiermore elated if you said she was a seventy of a hunred

Seventy of one hundred.

Yah

   That’s the same thing as seven of ten.

It is  But with the distinction betterlooking than sixtynine others 

                                                                       One to ten is crap

I woudnt want to be ranked rated one to ten
