Saga of Modern Sort


One Nervous Cat
before that,


decided on my
thirtieth birthday

to thereafter half try.
It saved me! Hey!


Not perfectly. Lost
two marriages and
one ridiculously


extracting position.
Settled in with my
Stelly, whose lazy


ass rivaled my own.
We both work
for her Dad who,


if he got one thing right,
be the first.


Our Yuppie kids, one
of each sex--though
which, shifts--


have theories
for everything,


and call bs
on all else.


Label us absurdly
clueless.


Who cares?
Well I do!
With Stelly.


Half.


You too
can sound


what to do. Hurtful
World refracts you

cynically? Turn the
lens around.

Leaving Nothing To Chance


Prided myself on my checklists.

Throughgoing and complete!

But, at the  end, the proverbial
day late and dollar short

As you probably knew, St Peter
quite the ribber.

“Why not just trust us?”

Heaven evidently the beginning
of truly stupid questions.

The Couple That Just...


-They just sort of stopped.

-Died?

-No, just slowwwwwed down.

-Who doesn't?

-Not like this. For example, after
breakfast, they plan dinner.

-Not that unusual?

-The whole day?

-In...discussion?

-Naturally.

-But...something must impinge. Appointments
with various gerontologists one might think?

-Very little gets in their glacial way.

-Do the "children" visit?

-Of course! And they're roped into the
Great Plan of the Day!

-Excruciating!

-To say the least. Oh well, they'll die,
sooner than later. And probably together.

-How will anybody tell?

Two Families


-My side: Order, Checklists, a Plan!

-Hers? and I wince asking.

-Last-minute clusterfuck with everybody screaming!

-What can you do when thrown in with them? Calm them somehow?

-Start screaming too!

-Is that why they like you?

-I believe so. I also can do a split! Observe!

-Jesus!
