The History of Writing (Part Three) Geary Heads North

In the profound hope it doesn't spoil our credibility, it should be made abundantly clear to the reader at this point that much of what follows is to be regarded as serious hypothesis. Federally-warranted requests for personal information (including bank-records & private communication (emails, phone calls, texts) of Dr. Milo Gollander have cast light on a terrifyingly wide and insidiously well-connected dark underground--a veritable railroad-to-freedom for one of the most deplorable humans to ever draw breath from the world. 

It was the intention of the authors of this document to hand-copy (you know, with a regular keyboard) select conversations/interrogations between Dr. Gollander and Thalamus Geary and the various people he spoke to whilst in pursuit of the traitorous golden child...but, in the name & benefit of saving our energy towards writing other things, we'll just tell you now that it's not gonna be until Sisyphus is "found out" or whatever that he's been reincarnated and that's what's gonna make the big fuss and then Charles Anthony is going to continue to drive semi-aimlessly east until he turns on the news and there's the hero of heroes, accidently turning all our eyes like the Great Magnet. 

Speaking of Thalamus Geary, though... We can't talk about a criminal record of those proportions-- if we compare them to anything else in History or Writing, we must compare them to the most cruel and incorrigible, to Harry Anslinger, to James "Whitey" Bulger, to former Vice President Richard Cheney... There is street crime, there is organized crime, and there is simply an unlikely well of resources that contributes to & climaxes in the events of modern genocide. 

Hitler would cringe in public and blush in private if he was alive to see the rabid enthusiasm for Osama bin Laden and the intervention--including indefinite occupation and extraordinary rendition--of the United States to the Middle East at the dawn of this staggeringly puzzled and obnoxiously self-congratulating century. No surprise when the Trump Years closed out and a Democrat predictably re-took office that the social airwaves were swiftly inundated with the relief and bargaining and needlessly timid I-told-you-sos of the New Elite. No surprise, either, when they lost the game that Conservative-leaning Greedheads are undisputed champions of. Whatever modesty put forth, shallow cupidity pocketed with the deft hunger of cruelty. The early 2030s, to those who remember them honestly, was a time of such conformity in an era when you'd have to refer to the end of American Segregation to accurately compare for the possibility of change within a system so obviously corrupted. The long-yearned-for Universal Basic Income (a machine of real-equality) did finally arrive with the new Republican President, but by then the so-called Opioid Crisis had produced a nationwide sense of shame and alarm so totally beyond ignoring and seemingly beyond correction of any kind, the benefits of UBI only barely sufficed to slow the daily bleeding and recrimination and paroxysms before it. 

Thalamus Geary, like all others of his ilk, came to power, fast and ready. So long as junkies and drugs posed even a shadow of a threat, they'd be there to scare it back. His eyes burned with a quiet enthusiasm for marching the hapless addicts in their traffic of craving & despair about the terrible cities. His blood charged with its own acetylcholine and various neurotransmitters through a brain with a sociopath's ventralmedialPFC. A Frankenstein-monster with a silver tongue for bullying and license to go wherever he said so. Only the cold & the dark to proffer any sense of limit.... 

At any rate.... 

The current whereabouts of Dr. Milo Gollander are unknown. There is a $10,000 reward for useful information leading to his successful discovery and capture. Like they used to say in the early-2000 Bushspeak Days: there's the things that you know, the things that you don't know, and the things... or some other such horseshit. 

We'll see.

Various Appointments (to be completed, soonish)

ONE  At night, he'd lay a plastic tarp in a wooded area near the edge of the city he relied upon, a certain modicum of gratitude in the ritual. He'd remove the comforter from the large leaf-bag, unroll it, shake it, lay it upon the tarp. He'd take some default note of the temperature--typically cold--and provoke a small memory of endurance, push against the unkindness of his situation. It was all but permanently bad, hardly more than an accumulation of rudeness and inhospitability that consumed the energy and good will that wagered against it. He'd lay a backpack with a few books and like supplies and everyday needs such as a toothbrush at the head of the blanket and remove his coat and sweater and fold them into a pillow and set the bundle atop the backpack. The hard air running slow and steady through everything. And on nights when he was sober enough to, he'd remove his shoes, socks, pants, shirt, and set these somewhere dry enough, close enough, for the morning....

the respiratory habits of fish

if there's some habit, vitamin, pharmaceutical that corrects short attention spans I haven't seen it.  all day long my eyes drown in the hapless, abject conformity of turdsuckers overpiling with words and not a flare of meaning or  whit discernible,  their voices trapped in some world before language: immigrants of this unwanted country this timeline all futures would beg to be spared from-- the leaves and the rocks and the wind and what else move in the space of the expanding universe and I try  to meditate on the respiratory habits of fish: those whose ancestors navigated, bred  endured trials century and millennia old, hungry, thinking creatures with a perception older than dinosaurs, citizens of a world no name has been provided.  ****

glass [and] razorblades

 glass ~ even the routinely-poor are afforded  some small mercies and graces --  earlier, today, for instance  a discreet 3-panel  animation of a woman  smoking in close-up  of narrowing proximity  rolled into my periphery of  a sudden at the weedstore  and, tonight, outside the church  where my eyes close to some rest:  the fierce stone of the architecture  spraying indismissibly into  the moment...  ...when counselors,  nurses,  clerks, interviewers,  doctors, various staff  ask me why I consume  alcohol to the degree I do,  this is what I can't remember  or manage  to tell them, this  perpetual, permanent  withering, something abundant yet  feeble in its abundance, the glass  before something else  that always  was.  ****  razorblades  ~ stuff this into your brain:  there's this overflowing pile  of billions and more...
