-Cremation in the Nation!
-Your wit acknowledges no bounds.
-Hey, it’s the way the ball, like, careens!
Dr Elling and wife, Nathalie, disgusted
at Red’s initial comment as to the family
of eight incinerated in the blazing SUV.
But Red had been puzzlingly depressed
the whole rainy week before that crash
into the huge oak on Appletree Lane.
into the huge oak on Appletree Lane.
Besides, his Secret of Life WAS laughing
at whatever small people thought taboo!
Their little fears would forever bring kicks.

Funny
What’s so funny?
Indeed, what his office mates
laughed at was more often
cruel. Some asinine, pretentious
individual getting humiliated,
and the like.
He was better than that.
And even when the humor
was more cosmic, restrained
himself.
Such as when the drunken
pastry chef collapsed in
death, imprinting the delicate
batter with his face.
His family baked and ate same.
So what? Primitive Christians
all felt superior to.
Nothing funny here! Move on!
Said office mates eventually
tired of explaining why...anything--
labeled him a stick.
Fair enough, until Jennifer-Jo
caught in the wind one dark
Spring workday morning.
Demonstrating, thus, the modern
equivalent of bloomers.
She apologized, as Jerome did for
witnessing this weird fluorescence
in stranger light.
The image stayed with Jerome.
Intruded, really.
He lingered in the Break Room
one day, and they laughed about
other things.
Somehow discovering each to be
passionate and driven...at additional
impromptu meetings.
Oh well, skip ahead. Who couldn’t
guess the rest?
Neighboring state had looser
laws, so they eloped there of
a weekend.
The homespun wife of the
Justice assembled a wedding
ceremony, her perpetually-
high and Millennial son as
Best Man.
His C over C hilarity ignored
then...but roared about in stories
for children, Trevor and Cynthia,
later.
then...but roared about in stories
for children, Trevor and Cynthia,
later.
Trevor gushed that it was an old
Hollywood Romantic Comedy!
Cynthia: Same stale crap!

Present and Future Odds
-You and Gwennie are pegged at 7-1.
-Not bad!

off horrendous breakups.

I can’t speak for her.
-And please don’t start. My tipsheet say
you’re a bit of a controler.

Ooops! 9-1 presently.

Nods
When Ginger2 left
the men agree
that women still can’t
handle the Freedom
“we granted them.”
Both nod sagely.
The sage nod has im-
printed over centuries.
Best to try another...for
the girls that is!

Puzzling Character
-No mystery here, believe me:
Think Crazy-quilt!

Broadway.

The Woman Who Maintained She Didn’t Give a Rat’s Ass
-Save in passion!
insisted her literate boyfriend.
-You’ve noticed! Finally!
-I believe so. I’m...never quite sure
just WHAT I’m noticing with you.
-Easy! My complete abandonment to the grimy-
low-down gods of seedy and disgraceful love.
-All THAT?
-Go further with that thread!...when YOU’RE
merely getting your rocks off!
-I’m doing such, but with an overwhelming
ardor for you the whole time!
-Uh huh? Sounds like a love poem, or
some other sheer bullshit!
-What more can I do to make you believe
that I…?
-Just never lose your role in the battalion of
sexual morons!
-Yes Commander!

Endless Trivia & Pretty Bras
Am I the man whose wife is looking for him?
Perpetually.
But not to be found mid Reader’s Digest
aphorisms, next to Hardware.
Nay, of sterner stuff am I!
For example: I wish to live by the side
of the road and be a friend to man.
The “man” ‘s generic. Includes women.
Except! I’m making an exception.
Let the gals have their endless trivia
and pretty bras, and more power to ‘em!
Vive la difference!

Moral Question
when she gets
to it with a man,
fantasize the male
role for herself?
Alongside any
bs sentiments?
Could be as to s-e-x,
but probably not any
bent accompaniments.
Tomboys won’t lie.

Life Summary
-So passive! You hadda be in there doing some of the shaking!

-Not much longer. String shortens.
-And what did your lovely attitude buy you?
-Someone will say “I’ll never forget whatsisname!”

Not One of Us
He is not one of us.
To the outside, yes,
even distinguished, but
we can't paper it o-
ver. We can be nice:
nothing lost there. And thus
praise an admirable record.
But our final accolade proves
financial, and he can
never be promoted.
Out of the question.
Like Sisyphus then,
hustling that boulder
up the incline only to
feel it inch back. Camus
says he's happy in
just the task, truly,
let us pray so.
