when Bobby Messiah the new kid next door asked if I wanted to see his Silly Putty **** collection I know we were on the same page It was hidden in an old transistor radio of red plastic with a silver speaker grid in the shape of a human foot marred and curling on one corner where something had pierced a hole in it a suicide bullet from his ex-mom Bobby said and I believed him because Bobby was a natural born Fuhrer an up and coming 10 year old Genghis Kahn so opinionated he didn't even know where his opinions came from and I was a 9 year old breast feeder I would have ridden the axle of a 20 wheeler across the state line if he said it would prove I wasn't a mud ******* mama's boy it appeared to me a better bargain to be anything rather than nothing. I still hold the line on this position even though I write from prison with a new range of ****** expressions thanks to Bobby's sense of impropriety and a pocket full of matches and the result of legal malpractice by my perfume counter mouthpiece not finding the magic combo told me I kept looking around too much to be taken for an empty seat wore a noose around my neck tendons more times than a fish has scales trying a little harder to separate what is inside from what is outside shuffling the index cards over and over I will describe it further this planet is an IQ test the contained has changed the shape of the container it may be a 49-51 kind of world kid but not everyone will clap and sing along and as long as them brittle mystic devil fire pickpockets think they have their lips on the tuba the free angels will sleep with a gun in their shorts for system redundancy's sake
