Rear Guard Death
CORONER
What's left of the old Republican?
OFFICER
Just a corroded money clip and a bitter laugh.
CORONER
I can get DNA from the former, but is it
usual the laugh goes on after death?
OFFICER
The Jesus Freaks say it's start of Hereafter.
CORONER
Not a welcoming one.
OFFICER
C’est la...every fuckin thing. Should stop
in the next hour.
CORONER
Bring me a body next time.
OFFICER

Banker C Hogart Marilsohn said to no one, after

The Key to Language
My job took me out in brutal storms, days without rest,
and one 4-AM as the howling died, told the wife,
"I'm sleeping for a thousand years!"
Off by a factor of five. I woke up in this hostile place
in 7014.
What I gathered from my hospitality committee--I'm
being sarcastic--is that I was irredeemably dumb since
I could catch none of their language.
"Yeah, it's really simple, but weird, " Marky-O told me,
another time-traveler. "Just consists of three words and
two ending sounds for each.
Tookah, Wookah, Yookah. That's the whole barrel, but it
seems like a million intonation levels added to the endings."
“Why are they so mean to me?”
“Because you're Wookah-ooo. New one, no promise.”
“What're you?”
“Wookah-eee. Never again to be spoken to.”
“But what can I...?”
“I'll help you. We'll work on it. Please, please, be my friend.
It's been a hundred years or so, since I... I came here in
Tookah-ooo 8ooo. I'm translating the number. They’re
expressed in Tookah, Wookah, Yookah combinations also.”
“Give you a headache!”
“Yes, but you must try. Treats are free every Yookah-ooo.
Twelfth day of the week. It’s garbage for us until we break
through...or you do.”
“I...got way way beyond exhaustion...and then I was here.”
“We'll fight them! It's our only hope!”
“But...if I do learn enough of the stupid language, they'll
make me shun you."
“That's okay. So long as you keep getting the treats to me.”
“I promise!”
But, nine earth years later, they Tookah-ooo’d him.
And that's what you think it is.
I'm married to a real Tartar now. An extreme Tookah-eee!
I’ve learned all the ways to tell her I despise her, but that’s
expected here, and everybody laughs.

Preservation, and Possibility of Expulsion
The only strategy the small family could concoct to
slow Jeanine was...
Oh it made no difference! Again. She did what she
pleased, and had her two sisters in tears with her
slicing tongue.
The father babbled and the mother came down with a
gentler version of Tourette's.
It consisted of emitting “Jeanine!” at sporadic and unexpected
moments. The Beautification Committee had depended on her
leading a team for the Garden Day, but now found something
else: emailing prospects for self-tours.
“Too bad we couldn't trade her, but no other team would ever
agree to ruin their morale.” This from Ruthie.
Desperate times, desperate measures: They called in Uncle Rivers,
the psychologist.
He listened and smiled. "Needs a boyfriend."
“Has a string!”
“That’s casual. We need deep.”
The discussion led to men who admired her.
“An assistant manager at Costco called her a force of nature!”
“He's the one, then.”
She had disputed a price and was ready to take on the whole staff!
Mother wished to go on with the anecdote, but Uncle Rivers said
they knew enough already.
“And sex...might help,” he maintained quietly.
“We'd rather not mix that in there!” Dad heard from.
“I feel sorry for that guy already. Give her that weapon and she
might destroy him.” Millsy punched her palm.
It was set. Ruthie would tell him to give her a call.
Ruark did, and the rest is history, mostly of a sexual complexion.
He would eventually have been fired for surliness, but left for
another city, where she joined him.
Their quarrels are already legendary in the new apartment complex.
They are locked together in miserable love.
Laughter frequently erupts at 26 Almond Place. The girls have new
boyfriends and they're such characters! Dad has nicknamed them
Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Mother whistles at her chores, and
wouldn’t mention Jeanine even if her mild disease compelled.

Finding the Right Size
When the Octonicks take over, I think their
insane restrictions will filter down slowly.
Wrong.
So I have to call in Bidge. In a former life, he
could have been a jockey. That tiny.
“The word we just got on you, unfortunately,
is that you take up too much space.”
“Me? I live in a studio apartment with
three other guys, bunks to the ceiling.
Fart and they'd murder me. We have a
minuscule, old-fashioned TV. None of this
Feel-a-Vision or whatever it's called.
I'm small, my life is small, I'm using almost
no resources! Just the threads I wear."
“Nice ones. But, I'm sorry. You can't go home
tonight. Rather to...Compression. I hear it's not
so bad there.”
“Have you seen the homeless at the railroad
station? They look like dirty breadboxes!”
“Can't do a thing,” I inform him.
About a month later, I hear a squeak and get
up to look at my chair.
But it comes from Bidge in the opposite one.
He looks like a cigar box someone has left.
"You've got to use me now or they crush
me altogether!"
"But what can you do? You're too small to work
here anymore. Maybe a transfer? To play with
children or something?"
"I'll blow you!" he pipes.
"Too small even for that."
A great tragedy.
At any rate, he eventually wills me his clothes
and I sell them. Is that heartless?

A Primer of Legal Scholarship
The Start
-Poor John Q Schnook is finally getting health insurance, and
Republican judges are lopping parts off as “unconstitutional.”
-Where are they when bankers, brokers, hedge fund honchos,
and corporate CEOs, plus their boards, are screwing us blind?
Abuse of the law! All round!
-More of your understatement. Is it the crookedness, subterfuge,
bribery, or robbery gets you down?
-It's the masquerade!
-Then the laws should be written more explicitly. Let me try.
“The purpose of this measure is to enable bankers, brokers,
hedge fund honchos, and corporate CEOs, plus their boards,
to screw everybody else blind.”
-That's a start.

Risks of Modern Life
“Usually get sold in pairs. Up to you. Fine then! The deuce
will do it! Your profile shows Mazda SUV. Better yet! Calders
will carry them out, and get them in that locked compartment
back there. Overcautious? Why look for trouble?”
But Flip forgot to tell Glad when they exchanged cars, and
he took the Altima for state inspection to Hoppy's Garage.
Back from the appointment only to find squad cars and a Hazmat
Team, plus five officers carrying automatic rifles. And Glad inside
the house shrieking “Green Ooze! I can’t get the stink off!”
The Captain pulls up, siren and multitudinous blinking lights,
white, blue, red. Siren spinning down to a ticking. Lights dim.
His red face seems to pulse then.
"Isn't all of this overkill?" Flip shouts, waving both arms.
"Not in our experience."

The clever people in Marcum's skull suddenly fled.
The last to leave being the fellow who asked Gwen,
"What time is it getting to be? My biological clock
has gone haywire!"
When he asked her out then, she went ice.
And such a warm creature!
But later, further ascertaining his new dopeyness, she accepted.
In fact, his dating calendar became full.
"It's true!" he informed Berkie, his close friend, "Inarticulate is the
new Flavor of the Month!"
"Have the girls gotten equally as stupid?"
"Nah, they're the same. Smart as hell! And Jean-Ann cuts the legs
out from under you with her wit!"
"You're a fad. Everybody'll get sick of you in no time.”
“You're hitting my fear!”
“It's no doubt. Then where'll you be?"
“Wherever they want! I'll adapt. “
"There's the conundrum! Is it easier to become somebody else if
you're dumb? Or if you're clever?"
“I don't know but I'll...!”
“You'll WHAT?”
“What we were saying.”
“I don't think so!”

Present Economic History of The United States
Marie became a Barista!
She phoned home right away. Her father answered.
“I’m always proud, but this time prouder!" He cried.
When she got home, the party was already swinging, Aunt Dot,
who had gotten the express bus, atop the antique console TV,
lifting her skirt for a tarantella. Her panties sported Disney characters.
Her father continued to cry. Her mother never, but smiled more
than thinly for once.
“Barista” filtered through the apartments, and even outside. Marie took a break to get the mail, and old Mr Tompkinson felt her up.
Mailman Jicky dug an elbow into his back, and his nose crashed into his exact mailbox, springing it.
“Coincidence,” Jicky laughed, revealing a missing front tooth.
The old man cried that he was only teasing, but was ignored.
“What's it with the mouth?”
“Hey! Why should a Barista worry? Anyway, your government has
taken most of my benefits away.”
“Baristas get Dental!
“So maybe you'll help me become one of you then? I'm getting
bought out, but so far they only offer McDonalds coupons.”
“It's funny...I got good news and nobody else has.”
“I'm dropping by for a belt!”
“More the merrier!”

Chapter One
-I’m outa gas with all my stupid lines, and fixated on Delly.
-Delly! That Strawberry Blonde? No dirty male sock has hit
the floor of her apartment in many a year.
-Has she swung the other way?
-She swings no ways. Done. Finito! Case closed, as we say
in the trade.
-It’ll take the cleverness that has fled me.
-The bullshit you mean.
-If you will. I’m done, you’re right.
-How about your self? Not much of a commodity but what you have.
-She’s a beauty. She’ll laugh.
-Laughing is halfway there. Seriously, how about a direct approach
where you tell the truth? “Just the facts, Ma’am.”
-How...can you recognize...?
-Trust yourself! You’ll be giving evidence as to your physical and
moral fitness.
-I hardly think much of the person you’re referencing!
-Humility. She’ll eat that up! Go under her window like Romeo.
-So, get under her window and...?
-Howl.
-Not much of that in my family.
-How about moaning?
-I can do moan.
-And when she opens the window...!
-Throws open the sash, in poetry.
-Very well! Tell her it’s urgent that you speak to her!
-What if she says no?
-That’s when you must sustain.
-How so?
-Say anything! Keep the babble up to wear her down.
-What if I wear down?
-You can’t! Hafta get up to that apartment!
-For the male sex?
-Screw the rest, for yourself!
-Okay I’m up there. What...?
-Tell her you can’t live without her!
-The truth again? That’s tough for somebody who...
-Forget all that. A New Dawn!
-But...you’re...half kidding, yes?
-Just half. It’s the cop in me. Lotzaluck!
-I just might fool you.

Falling Around
He fell down. Many times a day.
Millie, the breakfast cook at the Starlight, wanted to
start a pool.
“When he turns the corner at Brently to the point where
he passes our exquisite diner? I’ve seen as many
as eight. So, if we can get eight people to throw in...?”
Lydia, the young waitress, thought that was mean.
The next time he fell outside the diner, she went
to help, coaxing him back in to the corner stool.
He ordered ham and eggs, finally declaring that he
homefries were the best he’d ever eaten.
On Millie’s good side forever after that.
He became her Jelly, and the stool his. His name had
proven to be Jellsome Wandersea. “Name like that’d
make you tumble all by itself,” opined Dishwasher Jerry.
He’d have gone on, but Millie barked to clear the pans
out around her. “I’ve got five omlettes working and
up to my elbows in dirty pans while you talk!”
Now that he had a family, Jelly fell less often.
One day, Patrice, retired on the 401K of a Princess from
Walmart, fell in front of Jelly.
He scooped her frailness up and into a booth. Where he
joined her...for a year.
Soon after, Cashier Mike asked Mr and Mrs Jellsome Wandersea
how everything was. “If anything, the homefries are even
more heavenly!” Jelly shouted, and Millie waved from her
cloud in the kitchen.
Mike never mentioned heretofore since he was born
fading into the background.
The couple went outside and fell.

Meek Mockum
Bert liked to inform the salesmen personally
of their raises and bonuses. Thus he took
Sammy out to an elaborate champagne
lunch at Mario’s.
“I’m rounding out twenty years, and you’re
the best I’ve ever seen!” he toasted him.
“Meek Mockum!” replied this Ace.
Bert changed the subject to baseball, and things
flowed from there. Sammy having sharp opinions
re the underperforming Yankees.
Anyway...was Bert’s first exposure to Sammy’s
Tourette’s. Pretty much nothing. He wondered
what the clients saw, but who cares if somebody
could sell like that? And, no tics yet.
His cellphone vibrated, and when he glimpsed the screen,
he told Sammy, “Gotta take this. A few seconds.”
Was Honey, as could be discerned by “Honey...
please Honey...Honey! Paris!”
Before he could flip the phone closed, her hissed
conclusion carried: “Take the tickets and stick em
up your ass!”
Bert then spouted “Meek Mockum!” Four times.
Mario’s brother, their waiter, sped over. Then, he repeated
Bert. Sammy repeated him, and Bert, and himself.
At the next table, a woman fell to the floor, foaming it from
the mouth, blurrily, it sounding more like “Moo-oo-hoo!’
Her husband sang "In fair London City,
where girls have big titties...”
When the ambulance came, the attendants, under
the principle of removing the least affected,
piled this singer into the back.
“I blame it on the TV,” Attendant A remarked when underway.
“How about video games?”
“Absolutely!”
“Bicycles?”
“I don’t get that.”

for twenty four hours. Then, come back for a few questions.
-Can't wait! Actually can. To spend the thousand dollar Sears
card for my participation.
-Even in the present inflation, should buy a few shirts.
-Just about.
-Well, be all that where it may, have you chosen?
-I wanted to avoid the drama queens of both sexes, too many

-Could make me a better person! Nah! No need.

-Get the chip out! I'm still shaking!
