13,205. HAVING MAILED IN

HAVING MAILED IN
The guy said, 'Having mailed in my
ballet from Phoenicia, NY, I got dancing
feet in return, marked and sealed, so
that I had to sign for them, it all worked
out pretty well. Then we got drunk on
the cadaver of the old and realized the
new world coming : Fat, black, pretty
girls with big asses in charge of the
home, a low-decibel Satchell Paige
type, lobbing softballs into the fire.
-
It all works out in any high-school
equation, which is all people pretty
much want these days. The President's
wife is a cipher, sent here from a
foreign land. The new guy's family
was slowly killed off, leaving but
him and an illegitimate kid.
-
Fake pollsters can crow. Russian guys
with big names can throw up their arms
while they pierce their own edges of
what's real and what's not. The nuthouses
are full, the nurses all work overtime,
and the TV repairman, I hear, is a spy.'
