Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer was leading a lonely life working nights at the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory where he was in charge of loading crates full of fukfoorfiffenfimmers, onto cargo cars destined for the city of Cincinnati. There was such a huge demand for fukfoorfiffenfimmers in the city of Cincinnati, poor Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer worked his hunnyhush to the bone. On one of his few holiday weekends, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer went to a hair salon for a trim. Here he was attended by a hairdresser named, Henrietta Huckhellopolis. Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer instantly fell for the husky-voiced hairdresser. Gaining enough gumption and gallasisgoppingguff needed to bypass beating around the bush of courteous courtship, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer asked Henrietta Huckhellopolis if she wanted to leerlumpaloomp later that evening. "I would love to leerlumpaloomp later this evening," she replied, batting her long lashes lustily. And how those two leerlumpaloomped! They leerlumpaloomped long through the night. They leerlumpaloomped so loudly, the neighbours ended up sticking stuffystoils into their sensilivities, in hopes of drowning out the noise. Nine months later, the lovers were blessed with a litter of lullaloonillies—wot with the loud leerlumpaloomping and all. But, of the seven lullaloonillies, four of them had two lumpalots instead of one. Bolstering himself against drowning in despair at the prospect of having sired freak lullaloonillies, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer helped design fukfoorfiffenfimmers especially meant for lullaloonillies who have two lumpalots instead of one. As the double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers were Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer's idea, the owner of the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory gave Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer a forty percent cut of the royalties. *Fortunately some fairy tales come with a happy ending, because the city of Cincinnati was hit with a record number of lullaloonillies born with two lumpalots instead of just the one. The high sales of double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers, enabled Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer and Henrietta Huckhellopolis to quit their jobs and buy into the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory. Yes, after getting married, Harry Heironymous and Henrietta Huckhellopolis-Huffenhoffer lived happily hever hafter. So did the lullaloonillies.... including those with two lumpalots instead of one.*

When Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer Met Henrietta Huckhellopolis

I realized that your area code Was the same as one of my friends Did you know her? Or were you some stranger on the other side of a swiveling bar stool? Was it abnormally warm in Cincinnati when you ordered the second beer? I imagine you remarked about how fast the year was drawing to a close And pulled the knit cap tighter on your head And loosened your grip on the beer The cliché draft you order that doesn’t fit your eyeglasses or your astronomy career It would be nice if beer was cheaper than water But it isn’t And you’re still a stranger on the other side of a swiveling barstool

Look at us, I'm carrying a basket made of trash and you're carrying a mouse, well the dog chewed up your glasses but you're still rockin it you have a single drop of coffee on your nose, we're ready to go to D.C. I had another where-are-we moment, it was fun. Good, that's downtown Baltimore right there, ****** capital of the world. An elaborate mural graffiti. Wall after brick wall. A rustbelt city like Grand Rapids Detroit Cincinnati. Did you sleep well? Yes I woke up feeling like a clam in a cocoon. A sea creature inside of a forest insect, okay. I've wasted too much time on both desire and regret. Yellow bridge. Blue-green supports. Singer on the radio saying, we're young right now. There's a healthy and an unhealthy way of dealing with pain, I'm sorry for my selfish behavior in the islands. I want to go back and leave a better legacy. 'Word.' Last night to come see you I drove I-95 N, the overpass and though the rest of the city was really moving I was all alone up there, it was like driving in the sky. We pass signs saying: Icy Conditions: bridges and ramps freeze first. And a billboard: Learning Kick Flips Takes Work, So Does College We listen to our favorite island song: love the islands, love the islands, oh. You look like a rasta snowboarder girl There's something really right about having you in this car

I'm a fan of Vontaze Burfict Though he may not be perfect For he gives players concussions To continue the daily discussions Of the power of his percussion To receive a hall of fame induction That is where his value is derived So what do these penalties imply? That the referees have a preconceived notion of him And are preemptively looking to treat him grim Which gives his team a lesser chance to win Which makes the biased referees grin We are a country that idolizes quarterbacks Every other position we're quick to attack We only care about who has the ball And laughing at others when they fall We worship that which is shiny And view everything else as grimy Quarterbacks become celebrities incredulously While everyone else is treated impetuously The NFL is like America Politics makes it harder to watch The Patriots are boring and plain They win constantly The Bengals are entertaining and rough around the edges They show promise and potential that is never realized In a nation Of provocation I'd rather proudly call myself a bengal I know that seems an idealistic angle But Cincinnati provides no coziness or protection You must always avoid discriminate detection Of those that call themselves patriots That drive blue and white chariots And penalize players unnecessarily For African Americanning We really fumbled the ball Because of the ref's call That treats us unequally How they have fun evilly They can arbitrarily treat whoever however But a concussion will make them less clever

It’s 6:47am on a Monday morning on I-71 south towards Cincinnati and I’m driving in the middle lane entirely surrounded by semis and service trucks and out of nowhere, like it was some miracle act of God, it starts pouring down rain so hard that all of the traffic stops in the height of morning rush hour, everyone’s radios playing morning talk shows so loud it vibrates the ground our tires are on and everyone’s coffees move back into their hands from their cup holders, I guess we’re all just trying to wait it out right now I guess I have no choice but to wait it out right now, he says, hoodie wrinkled, two all nighter’s deep and still no passing grade, standing outside of the campus Starbucks, as it’s pouring down rain I guess we’ll have to wait it out, says my sister to an 8 year old me, as I wait on the curb of our neighborhood for the ice cream truck, no matter how disfigured the spongebob popsicle’s face looks by the time I get it in my hands, and no matter the fact that I never understood that his eyes were bubblegum I guess I have to wait it out, my father says, watching my grandmother lying in her hospital bed, getting tests taken for her potentially and what would be proven deadly, lung cancer, Her eyes glossed over and her lips still yearning for the pull of her usual afternoon pack of cigarettes You just have to wait it out, says my grandpa, standing next to me in his garden, after having helped me plant my first tomato seeds, The summer has felt like forever at 10 years old, I wish it stayed that way, and I wish I liked tomatoes I guess we just have to wait it out now, the head of police says to his crew of swat members, after having everything fail towards coaxing a young high school boy out of his boarded up bedroom, the shotgun he killed his ex girlfriend with, still in his arms Well, we’re just going to have to wait it out, I think to myself as I sit in this traffic at what is now exactly 7am on a rainy Monday morning in the middle lane of I-71 south towards Cincinnati, entirely surrounded by semis and service trucks The rain will stop eventually

Cincinnati is a family town where cookie cutter houses are bunched up like sardines painted in pastels and white. Where East and West only meet in the middle of downtown. Orange barrels dot the potted streets and neon clad men work in 90-degree humidity just to earn a lower class income. The Queen City’s throne is the revolting Ohio River, a murky green waterway filled with monsters and dead bodies. Polluted streets are flooded with homeless caravans mimicking sewer rats and everyone wants a smoke. People worship a Bengal tiger here, Oh, and pigs can fly.

Last year's version of the mind-body problem: my mind gives orders that my body won’t obey. It’s a problem. The body’s warranty has expired and spare parts are scarce. Plastic tubes To help me drain have become part of my day. So there’s still a will. But sometimes no way. I am now my sister’s age when she died. And some nights as I lie down in darkness there’s a moment of wondering could this be the night of the Great Reckoning when everything I’ve said and done goes mute and I am gone. And crawling over me like a slow stain is dread that everything important in life has already happened. I remember some days less than my dreams. But friend, not this tone! Let us write a history of now. Body and soul, stand up and shout “Baseball road trip!” Car: check. Best friend: check. Nostalgia for a simpler time. We can fake that one. The red zigzags on our map turn into places: Six ballparks in a week. Detroit haze, gasping Chicago wind, Milwaukee self-serve micro brew Cincinnati chili and watering eyes, Cleveland’s defiant self-love, Pittsburgh’s Primanti brothers monstrosity sandwich— Burger, coleslaw, and fries on toast. The American dream tastes like fast food, But the mystery lives between the lines. Thwack of fastball into catcher’s glove, Whock! of line drive into the gap, Ball rolling free across the green While the runner speeds for home. Home. Let’s keep going, friend. There’s another bridge up ahead and a ballpark’s lights shining somewhere in the dusk of the upper Midwest and the open road unrolls toward the setting sun.

Rigid, with tears trickling down my spinal column and escaping any other way they could, crushed up chrysanthemums in my hands, without moving a muscle, running away any other way that I could. One meaningful conversation with my father in my whole life, it was after I drank half a bottle of gin one night in Cincinnati. He raised me the best he could. Once, in a dream, I ordered a ****** mary and now I wonder if that means anything. If it means anything good.

Big Daddy They call me big daddy, two soft buns with an extra long patty. Bacon, lettuce, tomato with extra mayonnaise, women say it's the latest craze. Tastes so good, it melts in your mouth, I just love when a girl goes down south. A foot long hot dog with a bulging vein, there is no one higher on the food chain. Some use ketchup, some use mustard, either way it comes out custard. Whipped cream with a cherry on top, if you're a ****** I'll give you a pop. They call me big daddy, it's so big, I had to hire a caddy. I put all **** stars to shame, they're not even playing the right game. Even a loose girl feels so tight, women think I'm black, but I'm really white. I can't wear shorts it hangs so low, my third eye just loves to grow. They call me big daddy, all my pants are extra baggy. Girls pay me just for a look, it's more thick than the New York City phone book. Don't be jealous that it's so big, women hire me for their *** toy gig. Mom must have had a three way, with John Holmes and Nick The **** girls pay me just for a lick. They call me big daddy, I've had every girl in Cincinnati. Sorry to say but this story is fiction, brought on by my sudden *** addiction.

For years the square inner courtyard, surrounded by sky-reaching apartment complexes, accessible only through brief openings between the buildings whose windows looked down soullessly upon our child's play, contained my entire world, and I did not perceive any difference in the hands, faces, and seasonal limbs of my friends-- But when I returned the openings had closed, the courtyard inaccessible to an unrecognizable Cincinnati child whose white face and green eyes brought only memories-- 1884, 1929, 1944, 1967, and angry April showers that drowned disapproving windows in curfews of 2001. And I do understand. But, Would the windows open if they knew there's black in my line, way back in my line, from a time when ships like the Delta Queen-- sailed the Middle Passage monikered in false virtue granted by titles like Henrietta Marie-- brought African queens instead of slot machines-- when the fields of mud ran with blood hemorrhaged from Makhulu's innocence forcibly stolen by Grampa's lust. Now I must window watch my own daughter, recalling the lesson on the names of the week: You know daddy, someone just made those names up. And I can see beyond her blonde pig-tails-- the darkness of her eyes recalls the act of shame-- coupled with the sharp wit of a chained matriarch standing proudly on the auction block declaring: These waterways are all connected.

The Polo Grounds, when first seen, are a most magical shade of green. Hand in hand, me and my Dad head for our seats in the right field stands. It’s the Cincinnati Reds in town to play the New York Mets. There’s a double header scheduled, How much better could it get? Cincinnati took the first game by a score of three to nil. My hot dog was delicious Dad had a beer to swill. The nightcap was a wild affair The Mets won thirteen- twelve. You could look it up, as Casey said, if you should care to delve. We rode the subway home that night side by side, me and my Dad. We reminisced about the game Like the most knowledgeable fans.. The Q44 from Flushing took us up Queensboro Hill,, past Carvel and Booth Memorial, I remember it well still. My father turned to look at me as five decades creased my brow. Making us the self same age- What he was then, so I am now. Thirty years, about, it’s been Since last I saw my Dad. The dead don’t get to baseball games, Which I think is rather sad. He can’t enjoy a summer night on the wrong side of the grass. And an ice cold beer is greatly missed- He can’t pour himself a glass.. In memory, we still can walk With those who came before. So I took my Dad to a baseball game- What was I waiting for?

Taking dad to a game

The Polo Grounds, when first seen, are a most magical shade of green. Hand in hand, me and my Dad head for our seats in the right field stands. It’s the Cincinnati Reds in town to play the New York Mets. There’s a double header scheduled, How much better could it get? Cincinnati took the first game by a score of three to nil. My hot dog was delicious Dad had a beer to swill. The nightcap was a wild affair The Mets won thirteen- twelve. You could look it up, as Casey said, if you should care to delve.

PATSY’S POEM. (Composed while in Bloomington jail) While sitting in this silent chamber, And nothing else to do, I thought I would compose a song And write it, friends, for you. I am not much of a poet, Though I’ll do the best I can To try to keep my courage up And bear it like a man. I was born in Cincinnati And in Ohio State— Little did I think, my friends I would ever meet such a fate. I was brought up by honest parents, Who thought the world of me. And this is the first time I’ve been Deprived of liberty. It was on the fourth of August, in 1879, From house to house the news was spread That Aaron Goodfellow had been shot, And soon he would be dead. Suspicion pointed toward me; They rushed upon their prey, And I was forced to prison To await my trial day. They took me to the station-house; From there to the county jail, Where iron bars surrounded me, There my troubles to bewail. I never did the cruel deed— God knows I’m not to blame, Although I have been convicted And must suffer all the shame. A word to my old mother, And my sisters kind and true: Remember I’m innocent Though I must part from you. Any you my kind relations, I know you wish me well; But my feelings at this moment No human tongue can tell. Before I close this rhyme I’ll not forget to mention My good jailer, Mr. Franks. And now, my kind friends, ‘Tis all that I can do In sending this, my song, To bid you all adieu. Patsy Devine, in a Bloomington, Illinois jail, sometime between 1880 1882

Patsy's Poem (by Patsy Devine, circa 1880)

Drown Cincinnati, drown! We sang from the balcony, Give up your blood and sweat and be cleansed! And as they drowned below they called to me for help, But I'm sorry brothers, I have looked in to the gaping jaws of Hell and I cannot go back! Euthanize your idols, burn your high fashion statements! Build a bonfire of your vanities! Your ancestors ***** the Native American people and now you bear their graven image on your T-Shirt Oh but how they were HOLY Holy is the slogan sewed in to the denim Holy is anarchist ideal held together by safety pins and hairspray Nursing at the breast of punk's decrepit corpse, You read the eulogy, screamed "Anarchy in the UK!" In to the microphone Although you never left American soil

I still get my news from my hometown. And I do not respond to my new friends. And I cursed November when he came. And I told myself my existence was feeble. And I got all the movie quotes wrong. And I was coughing all the **** time, craggy inhales and spittle in my tea. They were all phonies then. Except the boy I met who ended every sentence with "I don't really know," so everything he said could be true. And I was running all the time in my sleep, then. And ******* too. And the same boy was always in my dreams - but not the right boy - the boy who was important to me only ever in sleep. But dreams seemed important then, too. Oh, I remember! 5 a.m. when I yanked you out of bed, come, I am going MAD! (you were going mad, too, just last week.) The fog was not rising at all chain smoking in respect to my lungs and their strike on air my strike on a way of living whose sole purpose was to stay alive longer what's all the yap about? I was not sure I wanted to live you kept on talking about dogs. I do not want to live you started talking about cars! I have death in my fingertips, you fool! You supposed heaven was real and I thought over what I had heard: heaven is all around us (yes, we were in a cloud.) And I supposed you were right but I kept silent, I could not put my world on you and its godlessness. There was a green flashing light on the other side of Cincinnati but you did not understand that reference yet. But we counted all the churches and rainy cars They couldn't grasp at God either. Godlessness! it will make us all mad, then. but it was science who spelt of protons and electrons; and when I am GOOD he shows me his twisted, gnarled little black heart. and when he, angelic, comes-- I am the Darkness. We supposed this was how God talks, anyways. And the sun curled up again we drank coffee in bad lighting over silence the insanity soggy waffles night shakes leaving me and... It took you hours to respond! Grappling with insanity for hours! the kinds in wavelengths static feeble hours glowering hunched electric clock in the corner cracked windows pane I could not stop thinking over forgiveness and if I forgave my father for forgetting my birthday nine years ago so mundane. And if it mattered anymore And if I forgave God And if I would ever apologize to Him there was a green flashing light in my baptismal basin, too. I do not call myself Gatsby anymore.

I am alright is what I say even when I have flashbacks everyday of the intimidating looking paramedic carrying me into the ambulance car as if I’m shattered porcelain. We’re alright is what my mom says even when she leaves the house she constantly calls and when we aren’t in the same room she repeats “Kelly? Just making sure you’re alright”. I am alright is what I say even when I have to look away when the clock strikes 9:27 am because that’s when everything suddenly went black and then spotted white. We’re alright is what my mom says, a single parent paying MRI scans, emergency room bills, antiseizure medication, the neurologist, the neurosurgeon, the epileptic neurosurgeon, without a cent from my father, and her worry lines are piercingly more clear to me. Does anyone really wanna hear the truth? I rub my fingers across my head imagining ripping out the millions of neurons lighting paths across my brain. Maybe then I wouldn’t have to worry anymore. I’ve kept my mouth shut because it’s polite but I want to tell everyone who’s pretending to be my friend because they feel sorry for me to **** off because my health is none of their business. It all catches up to me when I sit in the hallway at Cincinnati Children’s and I watch kids with tubes down their noses and needles in their arms and think to myself: I can’t be one of them, can I? This can’t be real, can it? But I guess I’m alright. The meds make me feel foggy, like I’m somewhere between awake and asleep. Where my mind feels like it fell through a trapdoor and into a vacuum. If it was up to me I wouldn’t leave the house. The only places I feel safe are in the nurses office or in between the 4 walls of a hospital with my mom holding my hand. That’s what seizures do. Turn an 18 year old girl into a 5 year old, wanting to run in a closet and slam the door so nobody has to see it happen again. No going down stairs alone, no locking the door when showering, no getting drunk at parties, no driving, no living your life. So you wonder if I’m alright? If alright means seeing my mom cry for the first time in years, if alright means sleeping 3 hours a night, if alright means having to rely on others because I can’t do anything by myself.. Maybe I’m tired of lying. Maybe I’m not alright.
