Absurdly Dealing With the Absurd
When Jennifer left with
Hobie, Chunzie thought
that wherever love took
them, he should know the
address to forward her mail.
He finally called Beverly,
the other wronged spouse.
Who, dramatically, wanted to
meet with him.
They comforted each other.
Rather too well.
Extracting from her became
imperative.
And was accomplished awkwardly.
In the meantime, Old Man Tompkins
died, and his two sons ordered him
to run things and keep the firm
from bankruptcy.
Which he did, is doing.
And Roscoe the Lab, starts perking
up from his funk missing
Jennifer when Chunzie throws
a week of her embroided panties
(Sunday, Monday, etc)
into a mesh laundry bag and
tosses it among his pillows.
His oldest friend, Yaz, remarks
“Do you have any solutions not
bizarre?”
“Not lately.”
“I’d stop praying to The God
of Chaos right now!”
“He has put me on auto.”
The absconded Romeo and
Juliet finally located in
Cow Gulch, Wisconsin!
“Where else?” sighs Yaz,
“the huge tropical moon over
the cheese factory.
Swaying palms.
Ricardo strumming his Sear’s
Latin Chord Guitar and
wrenching out airs
from old Seville.”
“WHATEVER!”
punctuated Chunzie.
“Life isn’t language.”
“It isn’t?”

Another Brace of Operators
-My Congressman needs your Golden Negro!
-There's a fee.
-Always, but let's be reasonable.
-What's the mission?
-Accompany him to black districts, where
Republicans reflexively despised.
-He can do that, and then to Hispanic if
you want. As a labor leader he negotiated
contracts in Spanish.
-Pinch me! Is this heaven?
-About the opposite, really. Why we love it!
-But what are his actual politics? He seems to
have started as a Lefty. We don't want the media
proving it's all Academy-Award presently.
-He's far far right of Generalissimo Franco.
-Who's that?
-Spanish Civil War?
-Can't be bothered. Got our own.

Ending in the Same Place
Waiting
The plane from Malaga being an hour late,
Cliff even more belligerent than usual picking
up Sissy. Jilly tells them not to wait, since the
children's texts encourage on locating Ben.
She smokes a cigarette, seated on her luggage
mid a mass of taxis.
Now another text arrives. gotim@boat&anchor!
c u 1/2
She 'conducts' with her cigarette, pronouncing
quietly, “Olé?”
