cancelled cat checks (turning into monsters)?
SO I CALLED THE BANK AND WASTED EVERY DOLLAR I HAD
THEY SAID IT WAS A GOOD IDEA SO I WENT ALONG WITH IT
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I WENT WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT
MARGARINE TASTING LIKE. WHAT WAS IT LIKE? DID I WIN A
CONTEST OR I WAS JUST BORN LUCKY WITH THE CIA IMPLANTING
A SECRET JELLY BEAN INTO MY LEFT MOST INCISOR? IT ISN'T THE K-9,
IT'S THE VAMPIRE FANG TOOTH. IT'S THE ONE THAT MAKES ME BELONG
WITH MY FAMILY. I WAS WILLED THIS TOOTH BY MY GRANDPAPPY, THE
ONE I NEVER MET, HE DIED WHEN I WAS LITTLE. SO I DON'T GET ALL
THE JOKES EVERYONE MAKES WHEN THEY IMITATE HIS VOICE, OH
TO BE YOUNG AND HAVE FLAKES OF SKIN WASH OFF IN THE BATH TUB
EVERY MORNING FACING TOWARDS MECCA. WHICH IS WHAT WE'LL CALL
THE LIBRARY. ONE DAY I WENT TO RETURN AN OVERDUE PARTITION TO
MECCA, AND I HADN'T RUN CHKDSK IN SOME TIME SO MY BRAIN WAS
CLUTTERED UP WITH THOUGHTS OF HOW TO BREAK FREE FROM THE
LOOMING HELICOPTERS AND POORLY KNIT SWEATERS. THEY WERE THAT
KIND OF GIFT GIVING FAMILY, THE ONE YOU'D NEVER OUTGROW BUT CAN
REGROW LIKE A LIZARDS TAIL OR YOUR COCCYX. BUT WHAT I SEE ON THE
TV BOX IS NOTHING BUT RERUNS, STYLISH SOUNDS OF OLD CAR WHEELS
SKIDDING BY ON NOTHING BUT ITS OWN MERIT AND CHARMS. THEY TURN
IT ON WITH THE FLICK OF THE FRUSTRATED KEYS. THEY WERE COPIED
AT ACE HARDWARE AND SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I KEEP
HEARING THAT DAMN RINGING TELEPHONE, I THOUGHT I HADN'T PAID
THE PHONE BILL IN A LONG, LONG TIME, BUT MY FAIRY DOGMOTHER
HAD BEEN PAYING AS I WENT, AND FINALLY GOT AN IPASS FOR HER UGLY
ASS ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE. THAT THING GULPS DOWN GAS AND SHE PAYS
FOR IT WITH THE MONEY I DIDN'T GET WHEN THE GOOD DOCTORS YANKED
OUT THE WISDOM FROM THE EVER REACHING END OF MY JAW BONES.
