bomber hadnt been in the studio since he lost his shit Tuesdayfrightened by the sounds of the neighbours machinery outside the window not ten feet away on the other side of the fence while he was steeping in a hypnagogic aside

was terrified

in terror

tore him up

            bit him through his thumbclawed his armsstompedpunctured the inside of his thighraked his belly

all in all what maelstrom painted in blood wrecked flesh would look like  took him hours to quiet the bleeding clean the wounds

wasnt bombers fault

cautiously he came in skittish

                                  nothing does cautiouslyskittish better than cats

he could see the muscular physic working under his orange fur

bomber knew where EXIT was an could hightail it tout de suite if necessary

                                                                                 ADIOS HIJO DE PUTA

he wasnt a cat whisperer

                             but he could herd them

   a bonus aside from bombers redux was him taking what is his napping spot his place at the window atop a Mexican blanket atop a twoshelf bookcase where history physics biology psychology philosophy books were kept

texts that usually lulled emanated sleep in others

bomber parked it

inside fifteen minutes he began plucking the screen with his paw

rarely did that

               his sister shy was the villainplaying harpWOUDYA CUT THA OUT shed bolt

he went to the window looked out

                                     Bomber  Is dinosaur back

   AAH HA well shit   dinosaur

                                   it was nearly ten inches long doubleup a childs Ticonderoga myfirst pencil and eraser

an enormous reptile old reptile

                                 its burrow lair was in the earth at the bottom of the fence

hed seen it four times over the past year

DAMMIT was he grateful bomber returned

                                              if not

he wouldnt have seen Gojiro

she was chewing on somethingsomething in her mouth as she left a message on the machine she bought him recorded for him We’re unavailable right now. Please leave the time, day, date you called and we will get back to you when we can. and installed it as she passed through on her way home while he was at work

odds on  hed bet blueberries

Hey! It’s your knocked-up daughter.

yah

      thatd be his grrl  gleefully espousing his vernacular

rolled out I dig it! Groovy.

                                 Knocked-up.

a message he saved

2009

he doesnt listen to it often

he listens to hear her voice

                            remember her voice when he struggles to hear it

shes dead

afterwards he took a lukewarm bath

day was hotnearly a hunred

wanted to bathewash away the dried sweat before bed

dripped lavender into the running water

laid back

            the message played in his head

memorised

clearing his throat he spoke

                                Yes Yes   Yes

I know what I need

I need to be like others

Amnesiacs

Orso they seem

Yes

Amnesiac

he wept

if wishes were horses beggars would ride his memory obscene

trying to forget only etched them deeper

cut in stone

his parents would ask incredulously  How is it you remember that? You weren’t two.

No fucking idea  None

“What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box.”

Thas tha Spickanspan

Thank you.

Youre welcome

she sold him on a glass of claret   . . . plum, cherry, and licorice flavor notes.

What happened

Truly. What happened? No idea.

I didnt hear it slam just heard glass

Well, you know the kitchen cabinet doors have that action where you shut them to within a couple of inches, they shut themselves.

Yes Youll recall I was against tha but its your kitchen

I do recall. Your expression when I decided to go ahead with the installation was priceless.

I suppose kindalike your expression standing there in broken glass

How do you mean?

I expected something of the kind

Expected? That waswhat?three years ago?  It’s been a long tim . .

                Words been out

   What word?

Your clever kitchen cabinets

Tempting fate

What did I tempt?

Either spooks or gnomesId bet gnomes

What are you talking about?

Paracelsus

Who?

Paracelsus Elementals

                          There is as much difference between the bodies of men an the bodies of Nature spirits  elementals  as there is between matter an spirit

Shoud have opted to shut cabinets like we have been

                                                        But no   They caughtup with ya

he wasnt fond of whiteyhad little room in his heart

                                                        if retarded he had a huge room

he was white

though had more in common with black folk

reading The Free World Louis Menand it wasnt recommended to him  he had a habit of finding what he needed

pg 415 hafwaydown

                       1960 Leopold Sedar Senghor first president of Senegal “White reason is analytic through utilisation . . . Negro reason is intuitive through participation.”  Menand  “African thought is animistic; it sees objects as the expression of a life force.”

lotsa words for action speaks louder than words

                                                   one could suppose four hundred years bent over labouring would provide American black folk that sense

also during the 60s Diversity Equity Inclusion DEI came into being

                                                                       crazy whitey Republicans and some black are attempting to use it as a stick to beat Vice-President Kamala Harris when they want to give her the opportunity shed counter work them to the corner beat them senseless beat them until that big snotbubble broke or their legs collapsed

PLEASE

         he dared them to say it to her face

checkstand light aisle 2 was lit

he swung in behind a woman unburdening her cart

a strawberry blonde

petite

she turned back to gather a bottle of Hendricks gin

incorrect pleasingly not so petite

Neptunia hadnt seen that before

setting it on the conveyor she turned to remaining fragile items to top off her grocery bags she saw he had few items

Would you like to go ahead of me?

Fuck  green cateyesNo no thank you thas kind of you You beat me he laughed she laughed could see she had no idea why she was Im working on my patience

he heldup TOAD a library book

                                 And I have a book so its not like Im waiting

she mused  beautifully Patience. That comes with age.

Or injury Ive contendedcontending with both

Contend. musing beautifully again  she was killing him  That’s a nice way to say it.

A better way to think

Yes. Perhaps so.

Your Hendricks Neptunia I havent seen it befor . .

. . It’s delicious. Cucumber and Rose. Finishes with a smooth citrus whisper.

Sold  Ill take it

she laughed Get your own.

shed placed the last of her items on the conveyor and tried to reach for the divider bar to place it between their items couldnt reach it

he thought Maybe you can try again  Thank you

                                                Divider bar Gauche  The Dutch refer to it as a beurtbalkje

I like that. she smiled warmly  I won’t remember it but I like it.

Next time we happen in line together Ill remind you

You’ll remember me?

he smiled I think Ill remember you

                                     I miss grocery counters in Chicago in Missoula before conveyors Though I hope whoever they made millions from the concept

Growing up all the markets in Santa Monica had them.

I like Santa Monicawhich is rich  I dislike LA

                                                Howdya endup here if I may

Thank you.   I met a cowboy.

A nice cowboy

Began that way.

Ended

Yes. Yes it did.

                Our kids are in school. They have friends. I have friends. All in all, made lemonade.

she looked right as her groceries began to move forward  Awnuts, you’ll excuse me. I better bag or you’ll be reading a while.

baggers

         let someone else do more with less  must be a market mantra

since he always had few items he bagged himself

if there happened to be a bagger

                                   I got it Take a breather

he was walking  the canvasbag had to be packed particularly

                                                                 shit not casually tossed in Youre supposed to be a bagger

no sense of pride in their work

he was long over it

she finished bagging her items took her receipt was leaving What’s the word? 

Beurtbalkje

I told you I wouldn’t remember. I hope to see you again.

Thad be nice Be well

    he turned to the checker Howya doin kiddo
