On..." The freak show and it's passing thru the Valley
of the Shadow of Death "
part 35
...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.

So here we are 2010
every thing is a question
with few answers...
The girl will get what she
wants...
...the paintings will be found
and that woman bagged off to
some nice nuthouse somewhere
in the country...
We will look in wonder at new
and different expressions called
art...

Be well,

do something to help
and not hurt.
Make peace
and carry it on forward.
Give, if you can

cause
it doesn't look like it's
gonna be any easier...

You try too.

" A Normal Guy Named Death " part 2

...The cat was on the table when Death opened the door.
" GIIIIT !! SHOOOO !!!! BAD KITTY BAD !!!!!! ", scolded Death,
putting the bags of potatoes , mangos and " UUMMMMM
Organic Strawberries.....", on the new glassed topped diningroom table
just delivered last week.
Death looked at the table.
" There are cat prints all over this table..." said Death, looking over
to Roy Earl licking a paw....

... The mail fell thru the slot in the door
" like flittering leaves to the floor...", recited Death
Death looked thru the mail,
reflecting....
" Been alotta folks....and I'm gettin' pretty old for this gig...."
reflected Death.

...Death sat down and opened a letter from one J.Level.
"Artist, x-patriot, exile....tired. OH ! theres a CD or somthing !!!
Roy Earl !!!! come here, let's look at this...( looking at the return address)
Ahhhh- J.Level is sending us something.... Come on !!!! ", coxed Death.

...Death discussed the paintings with Roy Earl and it was decided,
" for a laugh..." , giggled Death, " ...to let this one "squirm" alittle longer..."
It was really Roy Earl's idea...
and Death agreed.

They both like the " Manolin en directo ",

but Death liked " Si, robaos Meninas " more...
" yeah, let him squirm a little longer..." said Death.

Be well todo mundo.

At The Mall...with Death & Jesus...(an archive post)

23.10.07

Death levitated, lookin' out over the parking lot.....
Death said, ".... Can't see the damned thing anywhere..." hoovering over a Fiat.
Jesus said, " I TOLD you , it's in the LL section...Arrrrrg, come down, and come on...". Stomped Jesus, huffingly.
Death said, " ...You hate this place don't you...? ", smiling.
Jesus said, looking at his sandles, " Hate ? strong word, hate. "Dispise", NOW there's a word for ya. Despise.
I despise cooked carrots. I despise yippi little dogs, I dispise the Amerikan health care system

I dispise the person trying to make that left turn acrossed the double yellow line at rush hour...

You know I think they should let the bloody Taliban come here and just do traffic control...

I'd bet good money that the first beheading for such a heinous infraction, would encourge the others...thus eliminating that problem...And, yes, I despise the Mall. Really. "

They walked about the lot for about a half an hour, discussing what they each despised...
Death said, " I despise those little hotdogs in a jar..." Cocktail franks " Yeech !...and those

horrible bald cats...You know your neihbour what's her name ?...Mrs. Slivermen ?

Can't stand the wretched woman...."
Death continues , " You hate this place don't you...Eh ? "
Jesus said , " YES !. I hate the mall. The people whom inhabit it and the commerical
desert they offer as " the latest thing ". Crass commericalisim Ca -Chunk Ca-Chunk Ca-Chunk
Theres Three More !!! just like everyone. Like you !!!

YES!!!!!!

I HATE THE MALL !!! MAN OF PEACE,

FRRRRRR-EAKIN' OUT HERE!!! HAPPY ?

HUMMMMM ? HAPPY ??? EH ? ...." screaming.

Ignored.
Death said, " Like me ? with my one suit and sandles ?..."

Death said, " Ah ! here we are...you've got the keys, No ? ..."
Jesus said, " ....I - I - I thought you had um'... ??????? "
Death smiles.....

On.."The freak show and it's passing

thru the Valley of the Shadow of Death"

part 34...

Jesus splits, Lil' Moco guilt's out,

and Mrs. Silverman's blatant disregard for the rules...

Mrs. Silverman stood holding the hose watering Jesus' garden.

She was a good neighbour .

" these azaleas are looking perfect ! ", she smiled. It was 3: 12 am.

Mrs. Silverman was in her bathrobe. Illegal watering in LA.

" I know she'll be up. Strange woman...", predicted Jesus

The fone rang... " Oyga ? " said Mrs. Silverman, in spanish...

" Mrs.Silverman ? this is Jesus, speak english ! " said Jesus.

" hola ? Jesus ?...donde estas ? ".

" Mrs. Silverman it's Jesus your neighbor, listen I'm

on my way back to LA and I'm bringing a little friend

say, how's your cat Miles? ..."

Lil' Moco sat with toes crossed awaiting the conformation...

" Yes, the cat was fine, and Yes, he loved little cute talented dogs..."

repeated Jesus, Lil' Moco went nut's with joy " A cat, I love cats...

but I'm feelin' bad about Dan ...ya know ?" said the little dog

looking over towards the big lug sittin' staring out the snow

blocked window like it was a view over the ocean, the condo

next door or a grassy lawn...Dan was sad.

" Do you think we should invite him out to LA with us ?..."

asked Jesus. " Gots the makings of another freakshow if'n yer a askin",

said lil' Moco.

" HEY DAN !!! i have the greatest idea..." yelled Jesus.

" Gotta call Mrs.Silverman, she's gonna love this...

" Hola, oyga, Señora Silverman otra cosita ..." said Jesus

to a now excited Mrs.Silverman...

and a patio...

" I love that place..."

We rode, Domingo and I

thru the beach front Arizona street's

thru the park at the old court house square

passing that bronze cowboy,

sleeping under his bronze cowboy horse

up the street to the Vendome

to park the bikes, saying " Hi ! ", to Jennifer,

a ghost from times of Level passed....

The sea air was fresh as the sun sat,

a raging red and angry orange...

" I love Prescott...", Domingo said.

" It has had it moment's ..."

Jesus and Lil' Moco are splittin'

Dans flowered apron and a good fish soup...

..." Yeah, a stamp collection. Why does everyone always say

...A stamp collection...? I've quite a fine gun collection

that doesn' make folks go...You've gotta GUN COLLECTION ? "

explained Jesus to Lil' Moco...

" Say, you growing anything worth ...you know...you know..? "

asked a Lil' red eyed Moco of Jesus...

" Well it is California, we could get you something goin'...

I can buy anti-tank mines, a guy should be able to

grow a bit, for the dog yeah the dog... poor old Lil' Moco

Jesus said rubbin' Lil' Moco on the belly...

" FOOOOD !!!! " yelled Dan from the kitchen.

There in that warm and military clean kitchen stood

Dan, in a flowered apron holding giant bowls

of steamy fish ends and " NO shell fish for Jesus !!! " he said,

winking over at the little dog, sniffin', with a suspicious

look, on his curly small face, dippin' in a paw...

" Damn Dan, this smells great..." Jesus said.

They ate and enjoyed the warmth.

Jesus said, " Dan, we're leavin' outta here tomorrow

for the left coast...pass the bread please..."

And Dan said, with a worried and shock-ish look

" yer leavin' ? "

" Yeah, Lil' Moco wants to go see LA, and I'm tired of this trip,

I know theres a good nights sleep and a computer waiting

for me there, yeah we're goin' my dear friend ..." Jesus said.

" And you Lil' Moco...your going too ?" Dan asked.

" He's got CATS !!!!. Oh, ahhh- yes, I'm going to LA..."

he said, feeling a little sadder for saying it.

" Oh, ok... ah, I figured you'd stay here thats all. All good though.

I never had a dog, and well you seemed to like it here and all

but cool- yeah you'll love LA. Don't know why I live thru this

snow crap for so long any way...
