He taught lessons of Mesopotamian ziggurats, sperm whales and the Hollow Earth
theory. It didn't remove the gleaming crack house districts or take the urine
out of the county pool. He tried only to counter the immeasurable cruelty which
lounged so permanently on their devoured lives. In retrospect, he looked
ridiculous. He knew that their only escape was to sacrifice the tarnished half
of their bodies, like frantic earthworms weighed down by a rusting school bus.
They must leave their intolerable half behind, proclaim its death in the wet
fertilizer and sprout a renewed half out of their severed outline, one worthy
of honor and form. He found grown-men twirling glittering ladybug wands,
speaking in fabricated excitement, their condescending efforts swallowed like a
cellphone in quicksand. They spoke in the language of wounded lion giggles and
horse grins. Their bodies were submerged in grotesque oranges. To him, this was
the clear mark of the hideous life, of the domesticated labrador, who sees
everything and does nothing. His students, who rivaled Encyclopedia Brown in
poindexterian innocence, were covered in poison oak and surrounded his feet
like fleshy, neglected lighthouses in a sordid, boatless isle. The inspired
eighth readings of "On Beyond Zebra" and the accountants from Cloud Bank who
taught them checkbook balancing. All of their teeth became whitened with the
vanquishing ray of Gott's light. Their crown shakras, chewed like purple cud
into a misshapen wreath, carried by a mall elf, who spent his paycheck on him,
himself and the cavernous void. He absorbed life's tasteless nectar through a
straw of spider bites and mounting discontent. He understands that all he
really has is a ceramic trinket of a flying bluejay, which will maintain its
shape long beyond his death, but it ironically remains, like him: petrified in
flight. He knows that the knights of his time have fallen dead asleep in a
prairie, intoxicated by cheap gin, with a "Picture it" over their faces,
entranced by the cardboard lure of the Congo or any place, other than the true
panoramic atrocity. Colleagues smell like opened magic markers and overwhelming
soap, read novels about distressed starving sailors, retreat to the pantry and
stuff their faces, leaving crumbs for the oarsmen between the unread pages. He
lives in the century of filth, in the era of the boisterous head-hunters. After
his classes, he found the fern and hedge clippings in his backyard, which
formed a strange, organic wigwam. He laid at their base, his jaw immobilized by
the tension and backlit by three chemtrails which formed a triangle. He reached
upwards and clinked it like a preschooler. When he awoke, he sensed his new,
grotesque dimensions and manifested his anger into the Goliath form, to
comprehend his shadow self.
