Conversing
-Finally, fatally, done between you and
Brittany?
-Undeliverable! me, in snail-mail terms.
-That seems to be good. Have you
learned anything?
-No. Nothing.
-Did she?
-Just how to add another to
her bodycount.
-And go on?
-Like the mighty Mississippi!
-I don’t buy it! You, Victim.
Her, Natural Force!
-She’s evolved. Started as a
mere triple-handful.
-Your rhetoric is, like, self-destructive!
-Nah! Self-INstructive. You win some,
lose some, and some are called
for tsunamis.
-She’s a woman, not an entire world.
-No, the latter would be Steph!
-Already?
-No choice. Mother Nature sent her
to bail me out of funk, much depraved!
-Angel, she?
-Stay with my last word.
-You trying to make Literature here?
It’s a few jokers sort of tragic at
any rate.
-There’s time. Steph carries my
obliteration in her trim bosom.
-And...lower down?
-Must you vulgarize everything?
-I’m registered Republican. No!
Really!
-I can’t talk to you about anything!
-Just the opposite! But you’re required
to acknowledge my superiority!
-There’s hardly a choice.

Route Sign
But I really, truly, want to thank you for…!"
-He SAID that?
-I didn’t know what to say. Or do.
-Unfamiliar territory. Grownup. It’s what
grownups do.
-Well...we’re old enough I guess.
-Never!

Big Man Truly Loathes
Speaking of Himself

So he warms to dominant subject absurd-

Anon
-Don’t tell anybody.
-Of course not. I wish to be nice
too, and therefore will accede to
your wish.
-It all makes me feel good!
-They say can’t last.
-Only if you think about it.

Dated Hippie Tries Parody
Chestnuts roaring
on a roasting fire,
Jack Frost clawing
at my nuts.
Tiny Tots with their tablets aglow
shrieking at primitive figures
before they murder same. So?
Said before and further thus
what the hey!
This time For Real
Merry Freakin Christmas

-Trapped by Idiots
and forced to listen to their “wit!”
-Such AS?
-They acted out a little play and
nearly collapsed at the brilliantly
humorous lines!
-What happened? Since here you are!
-Tidal Wave!
-You're kidding!
-Never turn your back to the Ocean!
-They DID?
-For the whole play.
-They got carried away.
-Didn’t they?

Sex, Pointed
-Boys’ Night Out? I didn’t remember.
-I notified you every way but Certified Mail!
-And you’re going TO…?
-Bowling.
-Sport being the Asshole Temple of
American Macho Males!
-Something like that.
-Well the girls would like one also! And we’d
like to try Bowling.
-Do! By yourselves! Spare us the travesty!
The little petite stomp-arounds at your
mutual incompetence! So so breathlessly
CUTE! HOLD THAT POSE!
-Women can be serious at sport, you know!
-Sure! Maybe one doesn’t show? Then the
impromptu Assassination Squad. Now I’d
call that serious all right! Tongues like razors!
-Oh? Somehow I so DO hold hope out for us
performing something well that isn’t also vicious!
-Possible!...with real thoroughbreds from another
stable.
-SO NOW WE’RE HORSES?
-Only the Long-Faces in your pretentious midst.

The Professional
My client now is Jack.
Runs egg co-op
EGGSACTITUDE!
Full of old hippie co-op ideas and ideals!
His kids hope to never see another egg!
Wife wants Talk indicating other
directions, professions, Life-Partners
less gung ho etc.
Sometimes he edges towards
solutions with her, sometimes
presenting even worst scenarios.
I counsel him on practicalities. Why not?
Mostly, though, I’m paid to worry.
We meet weekly and go over the
most raging upsets.
Client quite relieved.
“I can breathe knowing you got my
neurotic back!”
Jack not without wit for a serious fellow.

Boiling It Down
-Put her in a word? Simple!
-You could have chosen Beautiful, Intriguing…
-Whatever is going for her there is eclipsed
by a barrelful of infuriating quirks!
-Such as?
-Suddenly, Country-and-Western totally gaudy
jewelry overwhelms! And she MUST find a
replica of a charmLESS bracelet that some
hillbilly chanteuse flashes at her drooling
hick fans. And this takes over her scattery
life! would you believe?
-Just sounds like a hobby with a bit of passion.
-More like a deplorable obsession without a bit
of intellect!
-You’re just mad at her for departing your Class!
-What else IS there?
-Also, sounds her brilliance is being a woman!
-You didn't hafta say that!
-Mustn't refuse to give the Devil her due!
Heh heh.
-You're just so hilariously amused merely
because this room lacks a mirror!

The Man Who Let It All Go
To forget a woman.
Overdid it!
Starts looking like a bum at work.
Step from homeless!--no kidding.
How to straighten him out?
Steered him to Religion.
Scoffed he!
More secular and non-hick counseling
at the university? Just sneeringly argued
with everyone in the group!
Self-Help articles with blatant headlines
via the net from his friends?
He can’t stop laughing!
At the last termination interview at
our mutual--and meticulously cautious--
corporation, he suddenly discovers
“I truly truly literally STINK!”
Hardly intellectual.
Olfactory, rather.
He took off the next day to scrub himself,
actually iron his clothes!
At the meeting then to fire him, he’s
all quite immaculate charm!
all quite immaculate charm!
And, since big outfits will chose the solution of less publicity, and thus scanter Big-Shot-Attention, ordered to quietly get back to work.
And never ever again to darken any important doorway!
Really lucky to toil where nobody
gives a shit about you, yes?

Mother
Her head abuzz with the day
’s meetings yet to come,
she inquires of her adult son
as to as to possibly
having her toast and jelly
without Gay Rights.
Triggering him to eventually pay
during a lull, with his “leaving
this house forever!”
“If only!” she regretfully tosses. So,
off again, both, uncovering their
fraught, biting history
without even a breath of break!
It’s okay. It’s okay. All work is.Labels: anger, breakfast, Gay Rights, issues, Mother-Son, relationship, unresolved issues, work, work anxiety

Bud & Chuck
-Now! What gonna do?
-Die! What’s left?
-Any details?
-Yeah! Trying to do it
without inconveniencing
anyone--and especially
myself!
-Don’t know if you can.
Life consists of being a
pain in the ass.
-But you can knock it off
from time to time.
-Only to save your friends,
family, marriage, job…
-Stop! What I’m attempting here!
-What about...prayer?
-Can’t see it!
-Oh?
-But can’t see it hurting either.
-Then, is the terminal stage of
life, ambiguity?
-Undoubtedly better than knowing
everything!
-Yup.
-But just.
