Where you heading, babe?

they just entered the market

                               Im goin to hit the head 

Hit the head. 

              You know that sounds awful. 

I didnt create it  Is wha it is

If you spent time in the military . .

. . An I woudnt anya know my Dad and brothers did  Lingos acquired

   It is. she gave him a wry smile there was some humour in it Go hit your head. 

Thank you 

as he walked to the restroom it was located near the front off to a side he was laying bets odds with himself whawould greet himwoud it be clean woud it be open the door shut the door crossback to the Courtesy Counter and advise a cleanup not on an aisle but in the Mens Room Id recommend whoever they are thathey wear a HazMat suit  someone youll excuse me sprayed diarrhea all over the commode the stall walls 

                                                                           yah   unforgettable 

he pushed the door open with the heel of his hand

immediately he saw the partition between the sinks and urinal was torn off the wallwhich might confuse some guys some mightlike sprayass take it to mean the sinks were game too 

                                                                      some might  men were idiots 

   no matter he wasnt 

                         then proceeding like his father who raised his boys by example the properprocess to urinate began by hawking a loogie deeplyclearing ones throat asitwere clearing their pipes and spitting it onto the cake prelims behind you urinate ponder what graffiti you might scribble on the pale tile wall before your face flush wash an dry your hands 

turning to leave he saw the partition was leaning against the wall where the door opened towards

figuring it had been apprised he didnt approach the Courtesy Desk 

the bathrooms let out onto the fresh vegetable section Organics were closest  HMM

looking out into the market at the far end of vegetables he saw an attractive womanher back to him never hurts to admire a goodlookin woman making his way towards her she turned sideways thoughtfully looked at a list in her hand Sonofabitch

                     his wife also never failed to catch his eye

walkingup behind her he grabbed her ass

she didnt flinch make a sound 

                                Whadahell   Yalet people grope you 

No. 

     But your grope is very familiar. 

Damn 

        One of these days it wont be me 

And there’ll be a dead man in the green groceries. 

Jesus

Yeah.

Well you can imagine how grateful I am my grope is familiar

Yeah. 

       How’d it go?

It went 

        Odd thing though

she was selecting fresh mushrooms 

                                      murmured What’s that?

The partition was torn down off the wall

Hmm.

I know wha have surmised wha happened

Yes.  Happened.

   Yah Gloryhole wasnt big enough 

Jesus Joe.

Cormac McCarthys The Passenger made him pull upSTOP  an scribble the page down so he woudnt forget  247 

“I suppose it should be a comfort to understand that one cannot be dead forever where there’s no forever to be dead in.”

   still fact

Whellshit

           he may have conceived it but he hadnt the words he woudnt have attempted a counterargument a counterfactual anif someoneanyone tried to spit play it otherwise 

                                                                     they better have crossed the linehad their ticket punched then slylysurreptitiouslyclandestinely slipped back with truly FUCKIN CONVINCING EVIDENCE 

wha evidence tha woudbe he had no any idea however it had likely be akin to Jason returning with Golden Fleece KNOW YOUR MYTHICSHIT or Herakles Hercules his 12 Labours The Nemean Lion The Lernean Hydra The Hind of Ceryneia The Erymanthean Boar The Augean Stables The Stymphalian Birds The Cretan Bull The Horses of Diomedes The Belt of Hippolyte Geryons Cattle The Apples of the Hesperides Cerberus 

                                                                                offhand he was familiar with the Stables an Cerberus Herakles descent into the Underworld kidnapped its threeheaded dog dragon or serpents tail heads of snakes crosshatching its back 

                        Here Fido here Fido comere boy here Fido  whakind of bone woud a threeheaded dog gnaw

   THAT kind of evidence 

otherwise

without proof he was a sceptic

No dice 

         ivory dice ivory chiclets not weighted

 

   STILL 

             he remained unaware of any takers

                                                                          hed love to slip her into a Venn diagram 

voyeuristically framed in a bathroom window 

framed in a celluloid snapshot 

ffuullroundness confined wrecktangularly 

                                           she needed help squeezing in hed lend both hands    

   twas a silent soliloquy

 

You ought to stop over sometime man, I’d introduce you, I think she’d like you.

I appreciate the thought but no thanks 

Seriously?

            Most guys would give an eyetooth for the opportunity.

I aint most guys 

                 Shes the last person Id want on my plate Not thatha woud necessarily happen

   Then why?

Seemsbeside  the obvious shes got a lot on the ball an I woudnt want to interrupt her

She might welcome the interruption

                                         he thought inhereruptionNo thanks  Ill admire her from afar 

the Venn was too small 

he underestimated her

Here she said Lemme help. 

                              hands to either side she squeezed her breasts together 

their spherenice became tantalisinglyovoid

   breathcaught   in his throat 

No really, I think you two would hit it off.

A good Catholic? 

Yes 

      Deny deny deny rolls off the tongue like The FatherThe SonThe Holy Ghost

Really?

D-Day

   yesterday:  In 1944, the second line of Paul Verlaine’s 1866 poem Chanson d’automne – Autumn Song – (Blessent mon Coeur d’une languer monotone – Hurt my heart with a monotonous tongue) is broadcast by the Allies over BBC Londres as a coded message to the French Resistance to prepare for the D-Day landings.

   the beginning of the end 

                             Allied soldiers land  many didnt have a chance to exact their bravery on Germany

Thank you 

             with all my fiber 

I will not forget  

1031, Monday,  5  6. 23

things occur to him  fall into his head like confetti litter 

                                                          might be from above the top of his head looks like a trashcan his nose the step to pop open his skull an toss shit in   maybe not shit  rather excess waste   residue 

   it occurred to him 

                            death and anesthesia 

dead anesthetised 

forms of Unaware 

                   uns pressing their ground two days running 

Unaware

dead is unaware supremely UNaware 

                                         though  his kidbrother flatlined more than twenty minutes docs hit him with a clot buster he understood injected into his brothers heartsaving his life 

                                                                            he saidwoudnt refute him that he was going up into a white light but hands of deceased relatives stayed him informed him it wasnt his time  but that the light was so warm and welcoming that he wanted to stay  they arrested his ascensionpulled him away from the light returned him

I saw their faces, Joe.  he wept as he said

                                                so there is that argument against UNaware

however hed been anesthetised eight timesNOTHING

                                                            seemed to him dead is nothing

UNless as he has his fingers crossed  dead is dreaming

an his dreaming was off the rails

sleeps Deaths second self Shakespeare  Sonnet 73 

                                                         Death’s second self that seals up all in rest.

   it just occurred to him

they were always at each others throat vying over this or thattha or this their notorious taunt  Would you stop, it’s semantics, we’re saying the same thing. 

No were not

We are . .

. . Not 

      Wha really gets my goat an why ya do it is how steadfast you prevaricate refuseadamantly refuse to keep to the question wha we were discussing 

                                      Im tellinya man ya shoudve been a politician quick with glib answers quick to hedge obscure

I’m not.

   When were talking between you and I Im asking youspecifically you what we discuss wont rock the planet off its axis I want wha you think not your assessment conviction of wha every Tom Dick and Harry thinks  Ill asked them if I want their opinion

 

I believe you thinkbecause I don know you believe anything Im laying a trap for you

Your conversations tend towards absolutes which . .

. . The tendency leans toward simple yes or nos . .

. . Which are absolutes and I do not believe absolutely.

Aint some fuckin badge of honour

Nothing is absolute.

Absolute zero On the Kelvin scale equivalent to minus 273.15degrees Celsius or minus 459.67 Fahrenheit Youll love this Formulaic In parenthesis degrees Celsius multiplied by ninefifths then add thirtytwo to acquire Fahrenheit temperature

All well and good, however absolute zero is theoret . .

. . An theoretical is not absolute

he nodded  Thank you for making my point. 

this shitstorm began 

                      Didn’t I say that, didn’t I say Stick to the program, stick to it?

Yes But I like something even better

That’s not sticking to the program.

                                       Better is not involved.

Wait till you hear

I don’t want to hear. You’re going to go off down the hall opening every door you come across and release denizens from behind them . .

. . Just widening the scope improving the gaze donwanna stick absolutely  to the program

It’s my program.

I like better stick to the pogrom

That’s murder.

Or expelling

The same thing.

They are not

Are you going to deny that if a particular ethnic group is massacred, it is not expelled?

If for your purposes massacred killed  means expelled 

                                                          I mean  I was expelled I aint dead  Hence stick to the pogrom
