a cathartic irreverence
manifest in igloo like silences
born
in a drive by shooting 
his name
well thats up for speculation
something like cannabis
or salt peter?
his motto was
"Don't be the lookout"
the family crest was a mongoose eating 
a chicken
the backstairs led nowhere
so that was where they
held their meetings
sometimes they'd make someone
take their 
pants off
but usually it was just baseball cards
and firecrackers
Times memorial was 
a baby ben clock
thrown through a window
see time flys
then he got punched in the eye 
by his dad
the gun was broken but they used it anyway it
still
worked to scare the shit out of 
people including the cops
who gunned down 
his cousin Larry who
had only come along 
to get "data for his term paper".
after that he went to florida
and worked for awhile
on a fishing boat
outside
of Delacroix
His parents knew he was responsible and
would send him 
money to hide their guilt
Larry's parents(his aunt and uncle)hired an old black man 
to
kill him but he and the old black man ended up smoking up all the hit money
on crack
eventually the black man wandered away 
and his name was forgotten
When he turned 22 he
decided to join the 
military
but was rejected 
due to Unsovereign Spinal Atrophy
he never found out what that was
and
he never had any symptoms
all he
knew was they called it USA
"You got the USA we can't use you."
It was the strangest thing he ever heard but 
he didn't even think about it
while he was hitching a ride
back to the coast 
the old man
who had picked him up 
said he wanted a blow job
he told him he'd give him a hand job 
for $40 and the old
fellow gave him the money 
and then immediately had 
a stroke and died
he put the old guy under a tree after
removing his
wallet and his watch.
