...Every one's attention was directed to the ringing phone.
" You know there are new fones that actually ring a pleasant ring..."
said Lil' Moco. The fone keep's ringing. Jesus watched the caller ID.

" Well if your not gonna answer that damned thing....."

said an irritated Lil'Moco. " NO !!!!! " yelled a nervous Jesus.

The crew stood watching the fone ring. Watching Jesus.

" That's Death's number, No ? " said a cautious Miles.
Then the ringing stopped. They sat in silence. All looking at Jesus,
whom was reaching for the fone...

Death looked at the fone in his hand..." Wheeeew, dodged a bullet
there didn't ya Death ol' boy..." Death said to himself, cowardly.
The fone rang. It's was Jesus...

" Is he calling Death ? ", asked Dan coming back from the kitchen
with a sandwich and a beer... they all turned to look at Dan. " What !?
I was hungry...." said a chowing Dan. Dan notices the fone cord leading

under the bedroom door of Jesus...

" Hello, Death ?..." said a nervous Jesus into the mickey Mouse phone.
"... Death, I just gotta say..." stammered Jesus...

' Well, that was an amazing time, consuming task...

what do you call this thing ?.." asked a curious

Lil' Moco...

" Oh that... it' a firing pin for the new Glock.

Here, hand me that spring will you ?...Thanks, and it fits riiii-ght

in here. Do you see what that does ?...." asked Jesus...

They were a family. A family sitting around the

dining room table, filled with guns.

" ... and this is a .357 magnum... " the most powerful

hand gun in the world, and it'll blow yer head clean off..."

recited Jesus. Dirty Harry was in Jesus' " Top 10 ".

Lil' Moco laughed and rolled about on his back.

Miles and Dan had came in... " Jesus !??? Damn ! ..."

Dan said, eyeing the formidable arsenal before him...

" I sorta had you figured as the " peaceable " type ",

he said, looking down the sites of a Mauser.

" Peaceable ?, is that even a word ...? ", asked Jesus.

" ...Peaceable : Adjective, " Inclined to avoid argument

or violent conflict..." , read Miles from his iPhone...

" Huh, I like to consider myself " quietly behaved...", Jesus said,

pulling the ramrod thru the Winchester's double 12 gauge

barrels. " The road to peace is about the amount of support

one has behind them. I prefer my support armed. I didn't

just start doing this, you know. Nope, back in the day

I thought a smile, a kind word, and a miracle or two

would suffice... Nope. That had a very negitive effect on the flow.
It's all about the flow...that's when I discovered that twelve guy's,
not eleven, not ten, but twelve armed to the teeth brothers behind me...
Well !!!!, that did make my job a lot easier, so it did....

Wo ! Way easier...!!! I tell ya. "

The room was silent.
Mouths agape in awe...
" Dude...", said Dan.

Lil' Moco smiled.
Miles, licked a paw.

...and Jesus... Jesus cleaned a Sig Sauer.

Then, the phone rang...

Jesus drove the Volvo aimlessly around LA.
Lots to do, yet nothing to do, Jesus humms...
" Hum-Humm-Hummmmm-humHu..."
" What the fuck is you doin' dude ? " snarles
lil' Mocos, "...is there an end to this trip ?

Little dog gotta pee !!!. Little dog gotta pee...!!! "
said lil' Moco... '' We're going to Death's house in Venice... "
said a Jesus that couldn't believe that those words came from his
mouth out loud... " Well, I knew it !!!! I knew it !!!!!!
woooo-wooo !!! I knew there was somethin' mo to this freak show than just some
scary little dog's....you rascal !!..." smirked an excited Lil' Moco...
Jesus blushed, turning up 12 th toward Bob's " Point Blank " gun shop.
He had to pick up some firing pin's for the new Glock he'd had on back order...
Thing's were getting complicated in the life of Jesus the provider.
He still hadn't been to the pharmacy to pick up his new perscriptions...

dropped off the dry cleaning...nor the new insoles for the sandles...
...And the little voice said... " This is a bad idea brother Jesus...Turn the
Volvo around... Turn the Volvo around... " We're headed home ...

hang on !!!! ", said Jesus
hanging a hard left up 11th and back towards the ranch...
Jesus breathed a sigh , a silent sigh ...looking in the mirror at
the light's passing behind him, getting smaller and smaller and smaller....

Snowing again in the Emerald city, I tell ya...

My friend's this is Thankxgiving and we got

snow up to our...ok, so there's but a few inches

but in this, oh, this weird place that means panic,

and boy do they. Brother's and Sister's on the south side,

near the Southern Ranch are slippin' and a slidin' a new wave

of weather challenges out there, with poor to fair result's .

Hill's abound. Languages are all over the place.

Not much snow in Rwanda...

Nor many frozen roads in Ethiopia...

and the fine brother's and sister's of the Viet lands,

well dude, I understand. You slid into the back of my truck

and with a smile said, " ... Huh, snow. This is my first experience ",

reaching down and making a small snowball, the brother threw it at me.

Yep. He laughed like some little kid... there was little damage, so

a snowball fight ensued. Gue won, if any ones askin', and he deserved

the victory. They slide about in that slo-mo we all know...with

the sound track of your choice behind , mine's " Death and the Madien " by Vagner.

They slide and crash into one another with grace, exiting their

rides smilin' and laughin'...Not the " CHA-CHING $$$$ !!!... "

of these Amerikans.

Parked the truck for the winter today.

Gettin' me some Yak-Trax, and am gonna walk.

he would make this evening to Jesus. He was surprised
at his lack of words....
" That's what you've come up with ?.

from beneath the sofa. " I was an evil friend. A non- friend.
I let you sit in that van... 10 days I was drunk and stupid..."
continued Death into the mirror...

again from beneath the sofa. Death grimaced. What had he
been thinking bringing this little weird and opinionated
dog to LA... " NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU LITTLE..."
Death was about to explode...when a throat clearing broke the rage.
" aaag-uhhum-mmmm ", from behind the NY Times,
coughed a smooth little Roy Earl sitting
in the comfy chair in the corner
"... mind the blood pressure there
Death..." said little Roy Earl...and Death said
" I don't have blood pressure and this little dog is outta here !!!! "
reaching under the sofa, grabbing the collar dragging the

...When Dixie Brown comes to town everybody dances

It had been about a month out beyond the
fences. In weird and beautifully crowded

sunny windy rainy and oh so beery places...

...Meanwhile back at the Southern ranch

the scene is harsh at best.
Dixie Brown and rats
Rats
Angry housemates...
and mice.

Readin' that e-mail schmenge from my perch

above the bluest of clear views of the caves,

rocky coastlines and boredom that couldn't

have mattered less...those e-mails
really could have mattered less.

" Dixie Brown blew into town an everybody danced...".

A guy I know said a while ago. I'm sayin' it now.

The brother was old' and up to the same

old tricks. Usin' the same old lines. The same ol'

traps gettin' tripped in the end.

Always the same trap. Mice learn faster,

so they do. Time to remember the past traps
and adjust for health and changing centers of gravity.
Allow a few minutes in the getaway plan for stairs,
high curbs and frequent bathroom stops...
We aint' as young as we used to be, no ?.

I walked into the bedroom after a month away

from the scene and surveyed the contents... Dixie Brown did it again.

He left, again, with nothing but my favorite black leather jacket.

My favorite hat, and his cell fone ....Got my landlord Jues

for 835$, so he did, and like Portland and Oakland before that...

Then San Diego and Arizona before that.... Dixie Brown came to town

and everybody danced.

My memory of Dixie Brown was better without this last

dramatic trippin' of every trap there was awaitin' to trip.

I Hope to never see the brother again, so I don't.

Sorry to those affected,

so I am.

Jamie was right,
so he was.

Via con Dios Dixie Brown.

Death let off a grateful Roy at the on ramp to I -5,

waved good-bye and drove off into the city.

Merdina now occupied the vacant seat to the right of Death,

her bulging eyes fixed on Death...whom cursed the GPS,

adjusted the mirror, fiddled with something under his seat

all while avoiding the stare of Meridina, when she said...

" I hate you...", and Death said..." huh, most people do..."

All around LA, Death drove. Half looking, half not.

Death said " ...We're going to my house ! Hang on !!! "

making a hard right from the left lane slammin' Meirdina

into Death and into the back of the VW where she screamed

" Venganza !!!!!! ", lurching towards the throat of Death.

Death laughed as he swung left into the ally, sending Mierdina

into a mid air change of direction that took her by suprise...

Death hit the opener button exposing a garage built by Beaver Clever's

father ? or Ozzi Nelson...? but no, this was the garage of Death.

Peg board filled with white outlines filled with Craftsmen

Mikita, DeWalt tools and an old steel vise...Death closed the door behind them

and turned smiling towards Meirdina..." NOW you rude little

dog... I can have Klaus, my minion, run a pole thru you from

butt to mouth FOR ETERNITY !!!!!! I can feed you to the chimps

everyday over and over and over FOR ETERNITY !!!!!!

NOW... be a good dog, and mind your manners. Oh, and mind your

" ...Ok, now turn on the fan...", said Miles to an excited Lil' Moco
The two infra-stoners had figured out the vaporizer. This was the first test.
Lil' Moco barked and growled at the ever expanding turkey basting bag
as it filled with the essence of the ' NFO ' brand they'd scored from their
guy Julio...Miles had pushed together two ashtrays to fit the valve,
he nosed it in just enough to take a giant hit..." wooooooooooooo ",
woooooed Miles, rolling onto his side...Lil' Moco smiled, nosing a hit,
and smiled again as he felt his eyes turning red...

Meirdina growled...
"...Death brother please lets get on with this trip....You know your face
will stick that way forever if you keep doing that... Come on Man,
let's go to the restaurant, I'll buy you a slab of pork ribs in savory
BBQ sauce... Man, I am SO fucking tried of being in a casino..."
and then Meirdina bit Death on the ankle...
" WHY YOU LITTLE VARMENT !!!! " yelled an angry Death...

The guys in the suits, the one's with no necks had little problem
throwing Death from the Plaza Hotel. Out onto the front drive
with barely a thud. Death was indignant, but content.
" AWWW I'VE BEEN THROWN OUTTA WAY BETTER PLACES
THAN THIS BUDDY !!!!!", screamed Death at the no necks.
He had a plan. He had to keep his cool, so, he only sent David,
the blonde no neck to the fiery depths of hell. He would make a
good companion for Klaus, the German. Death liked Klaus, he
had a streak of ingenious cruelty about him, one that made Death
consider retiring, leavin' Klaus to the leg work and himself to the office
where he could relax and write his memoirs...petting a cat or something
like Lex Luther or Mrs. Silverman...

Meirdina waddled up to Death and licked his hand,
Death looked at the ugly 10,000 year old toothless poodle
with different eyes..." Yeah all the fuck right, Let's get outta this
podunk town before I really get mad... ". Said Death, raising
his voice at the "...Before I really get mad part.

Charles, a no neck called around for his partner David,
" David ! " he shouted...Going in to the casino...
" David.....! " Charles yelled.

Death had regrets. The fone had rang non stop
since he turned out of the drive way of Dawn and Warren's...
Death was headed west. He had left the freak's, and the
freak show behind. This fone only reminded him of weakness
for sun and real food again...Death drove on...

" If that mother fucker has left us behind in this God forsaken
place I will kill the shit outta the whiny Death. I swear....",

Roy had been stuck on this on ramp for the past 11 hours
when a black OUF enters his perifiel vision and wack him in the forehead.
The blood dripped into his right eye.
Roy yelled , " AHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!
I will kill you you cretin bastard..." shaking his fist at the tail lites of the old Van.
Brake lites. The van was backing up. Roy tensed, as the last time this happened
Roy had taken a serious ass woopin' from some frat boys bent on Jack Daniels and fear.
The van pulls right up to Roy. Roy is face to face with Death.
" I am so sorry that hit you like that. I saw it in the mirror.
The damned thing would'nt stop ringing..." said Death.
" Well ah, you know if you just push this button here it will mute the ringer..."
Stammered Roy to an intrested Death. " Say where you going ? " He asked Roy,
" Oakland " He said. " Get in..." said Death. " Well I don't know... you hit me pretty hard
and your Death right ? Ahhh I don't know..." said a nervous Roy.
Ahh come on, I have a long road ahead and need a geek... I have this..."
Death held up a bag with about a pound of Domingo's weed...
" Well..." said Roy throwin' his backpack into the van...

" Awwww man, Death took the weed with him. That's it, I am going to die."
screamed Domingo into the wind....

" Did you here that ? like some one screaming " Nooooooooooooooo !!!"
asked Death of Roy.

...Death sat. Sat watching the Law and Order channel.
The heater by the bed blew a hot dry wind
like a guy screamin' " ...It's like a hot dry wind "
into the hot dry wind. Death sat. Marveling at the
amount of alcohol he could consume, and with
the height of his callousness towards Jesus, as he sat 10 days in the van
in mortal fear of those little toothless poodles...
" Frekin' poodles...! " shouted Death.
" ...1 st degree homicide. 20- to life...", said the
Law and Order channel.

Miles watched the Ravens squakin' for hours
in the trees above the fallen youth.
The late spring ritual of Raven babies fallin' out the nest
at that first attempt at flight. The clan
guards and feeds the grounded youngster...creating
a two layered security ring no cat, nor little old poodle
should dare cross... " I say there my odd looking, yet delightful
little friend...I know what your thinking, and if I must say so
myself, I am terrified of the nasty little beasts. Give up that thought
Lil' Moco... just give it up. They would have a field day with you that
we will talk about well into the ought 20's, so we will..."

Lil' Moco watched a Ravens peck at a branch, screaming.
" Yeah. All good. You the man...", said a flattened
to the ground Lil' Moco.

Jesus looked out the window.
Jesus smoked.

Dan's eyes adjusted to the darkness and got wide.
It lay before him, a vastness of beer. Much beer.
He came into focus admist the beer...Much beer.
The natives would have said, "Many beers, many beers..."
The friendly face emerged from the red gloom...

up and over the yellow taxi lite, Dan rolled... thinking,
" ...pour me another like the last one Raul, ya know man ,
the beers of LA stand alone in this weird world..."
he said, rolling down the back window, then trunk...

...Arabial was still screaming something as Dan lands upon the black,
hard La Supulveta Blvd. asphalt rolling rolling....
He ends up on his back staring up at the cloudless
LA sky..." ...the last time I saw you you looked
so much older you famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder..."
Dan hummed thinking he'd just seen a whisp of a cloud float by...
Arabial walks up. looking down upon a loaded Dan humming
Lenoard Cohen tunes...
...He said:
" !!! YOU ARE A CRAZY MAN A VERY VERY CRAZY MAN...!!!
OH LET ME HELP YOU UP....
WHAT HAS ENTERED YOUR MIND ???
YOU ARE A VERY CRAZY MAN
LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY TAXI !!!!!
COME ON PLEASE GET INTO THE TAXI
YOU CRAZY CRAZY MAN ",
yelled a panicked Arabial.

Arabial took Dan to the hospital an was
was found to be a very resiliant crazy drunken man.
" HE IS A CRAZY MAN A VERY CRAZY MAN ....
Arabial said to the nurse at the counter....

Mrs. Silverman bails out, Lil' Moco
and Miles roll a joint, more words of Death...

Mrs.Silvermen walked out the front door of Parker Center around 10:30

on that hazy LA morning, bursting with indignation...
" I was watering Jesus's garden you pagan pigs !!!! ",

she yelled at no one in particular. Everyone in general.

" Mrs. Silverman !!!! ", yelled Jesus to a space bound Mrs. Silverman,
and coming back to earth, she shriked " Jesus !!!!!!!!! Gracias a Dios..."
Hugs and kisses were shared. Apologies given and accepted...
They walked to Jesus Fiat, where Dan and a stoned Lil' Moco waited...
" I am so sorry for that little...incident ", said a humble Mrs. Silverman,
scratching Lil' Moco behind the ear. Kisses and hugs again, the four
drove off to Andy's for fat omelets and Bloody Mary's, some stories and
introductions, a few confessions were herd...

...Death watched the screen of his Dell with horror, and confusion.
The " Error Message B7-O>3 ", led to... " I am going to have to pay a visit
to someone...", cursed a tech challenged Death, thinking of Jesus
with that weird little dog...2000 miles away. " ... I have really screwed
this up...", thought Death, getting up to re-fill his Martini,
onions, not olives...

...Miles was learning to roll joints watching the you tube video
" Cats, and the rolling of joints...". Many papers were torn,
and much dope was spilt about the floor, sofa, and strangely,
the dining room lamp, Dan would later marvel...
while the hollering of...."!!!! WHY DON'T I HAVE THUMBS !!!!!!?????? "
would be herd from Miles
late
into
the afternoon.

Dan settles in, Jesus considers Death

6:33 am

...the leaf blowing yard guy passed before Dan's window,
startling Dan to fully awake. Fully..." HOLY JESUS !!!!
WHERE THE HELL AM I !!!!!!!???? ", awake. Dan
watched the whining shadow thru the bottle brushes...
" Oh right, right, I am in LA..."

Lil' Moco watched the bee's buzzing about the garden.
Miles told him " Those ain't the friendliest bee's we got around here dog..."
That was when Lil' Moco got stung....
" YEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWWW ",
screamed Lil' Moco running into the house to find Jesus.
" Fuckin' bee's ", he said as his nose began to swell...

Jesus sat at his Mac staring at a screen full of words from Death.
Just a blur of half words, half sentiments and just pure babble
Jesus read....
" ... and I find it brutal that you did not say good-bye
and that we would have at least, AT LEAST ! parted with an understanding,
and still friends...", read Jesus.
Jesus sighed, looking at poor lil' Moco
all swollen, " fuckin' bee's... " said lil' Moco, sorta muffled like.

"....Damned cops !!!!!
I was just watering Jesus' garden !!!! YOU PIGS !!!!!
JESUS'S GARDEN !!!!!!!!! ", screamed Mrs. Silverman
from her padded cell in the basement of Parker center's
short term lockup...
FREKIN' PIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGS !!!!!!

Dan's new view, Jesus answers his mail...



Dan laid back on his bed and looked out at a view of the
front lawn. Arcadia's and bottle brushes bloomed,
birds and bugs, birded and bugged....
" Wo... April 2 with flowers and warmth...
Lucky folks these wackos livin' on this left coast...
... And that poor little woman Mrs. Silverman
givin' those big cops
such a beating....
Jesus has a gun collection,
I would have never thought that.
I've a stoned dog that talks....
That's super odd."
Thought Dan,

Lil' Moco was hunting down a cat. Smiling.
Mrs. Silverman's cat Miles had taken
to Lil' Moco. There was a moment there
in the beginning, but after a few minutes of
puffing up ( Miles ) and a bit of grrrrrrr-ing
with alternating wheeez's, coughs, an some throwing
up of white foamy stuff (Lil' Moco),
flat, but still smelly and tasty sweet buds were chewed and rolled
about upon creating a stoned, chatty, laughing pair.
One rarely saw one without
the other close behind.
Lil' Moco was in LA,
he liked it.

JESUS ANSWERS HIS MAIL....

"... Dearest General Oswanawa,

Sorry to hear of untimely passing of your 26th cousin
once removed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I cannot at this time deposit your check as......",
wrote Jesus.

" Jesus checks his e-mail,
lil' Moco sez "eeeewwwwwwwww"

The key slides into the lock with that old familiar feeling.
A slight turn to the left and Jesus' world lay out before him..." Home ", Jesus said
The little dog jumped from Dan's arms and between Jesus' sandles to get his first
glimpse of his new home..." Wo " said lil' Moco, looking up a Jesus..." Wo ".
It was a warm and neatly kept 3 bedroom cottage. Kitchen in the back, and a
basement..." What's down here ? ", said lil' Moco scratchin' at the door...
Dan stood in the doorway, lookin' in... at the old stuffed chair, the book shelves
and the gun case, " Wo, Jesus has a gun collection ? ", Dan whispered to
himself...
Jesus watched him,
as his Mac came to life.......
BOOOOOONGGGGGG

There were 210 -e-mails unread.
10 from friends in Nigeria, informing him he's been named heir to the good
general, whom died in a fiery auto accident, and if you would only deposit
this check into your account....
A few Viagra ads...and 197 e-mails from Death...
" Sin vergüenza de mir...." Jesus thought...

The bathroom door was closed. Dan and lil' Moco inside.
There was a long " eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww !!!!
ah man, that is so gross ! YEEEEECH !!! gag-choke-wheeze....
Man, how did you get all that up-up there ? " asked
a wheezing lil' Moco
" It's smokable dog, shut up and hand me that towel..."
said Dan.
" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"
said lil' Moco...

...Jesus, Lil'Moco and Dan hit LA, Mrs. Silverman
get's arrested...

There was applause at touch down, Jesus, Dan, and lil' Moco shared the ride
with a load of Spaniards from Benidorm on vacation to Venice Beach. It freaked
Dan, but lil Moco had him calmed down by the time they opened the doors with
hugs and far wells to all " these glorious people " Dan said crying and waving...
Jesus was back in LA. It was home. He'd been away too long. Things never change
in his LA. The cab ride from the airport... He knew all, every corner...every shop...
"Hey there's Andy's !!!! Ahhh man, I've gotta take you there.....", feelin' apart of the flow again.
The pulse of that wonderful town. " There's a house and a computer waiting for me to get home."
Jesus thought to himself.

They pulled up the long driveway to the house, it was late.
There were two cop cars parked in the drive, and some screaming,
calming words coming from the female officer..." Vamos Señora
Silverman ..." . Jesus smiled looking out over his flowers bathed in the red and blue glow of two
police cars and a helicopter's spot lite...," Welcome to LA Dan...I know your gonna love it here ",
he said to a shocked Dan standing with an mouth open gaze at the freak show playing outbefore him.
" Awwww- this aint' nothing Dan, come on put me down damnit ! and let's go see what freak boy's got to eat
...hey you did bring something to ah, hummm, you know, something to smoke..? " lil' Moco asked...
" Yep. " whispered Dan, " I got about a half pound...in my butt. " he giggled. Lil' Moco looked at Dan
in horror..." in your what ? " he gaped.

Mrs. Silverman was arrested for continued illegal watering,
resisting arrest, assault on not less than 3 officers
( at one point Mrs. Silverman had Officer Maney Milsky
in a headlock while giving him a " noogie",
as stated by Officer Milsky on his offical report.)

" Whatta beautiful garden ....", said the big guy cop,
closing the car door with Mrs. Silverman inside.
