just ignore him

For the customer,
this is not fun

This IS An April Fool's Joke

Despite being born in 1949,
next month I will celebrate
my 37th birthday.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
I just had surgery performed
on my birth certificate

The One + Only Time A Salinger Story Was Read To ME
________________________________________________________________________________________________
The story was
and it was read to me aloud
by an adopted cousin
who read it "perfectly"
from start to finish
despite his mother believing
that her son
—born in Mexico—
was a Special Ed student
with serious reading disabilities
The date was October 15, 2011
We were driving from
Massapequa to Flushing
to honor the 40th anniversary
of my Mother's passing
His Mother,
a Special Ed teacher
for thirty years,
was incapable of realizing
that her son had
an IQ superior
to most of his well-bred
Caucasian Nassau County classmates
but the boy's constant winking
at his adopted Uncle
in the presence
of his parents
was a secret pleasure
I will treasure
for a lifetime

Hooda Helami Explains How To Ignore SELF-LOATHING
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Target a hatred of
parent/neighbor
employer
or
all of the above
while professing
christian love
Dig deep down
into your soul
to intensify
that hatred
into a fiery hole
Then it will eclipse
the neglect and ruination
of your own
body and soul

An Extremely Rare Treatment Given With No Hyperlink
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Posting quotes from books
I am reading
is partly why
The GodFather of Math Trilogy
is longer than 6000 pages
The book presently being read is
THE STORY OF A COUNTRY BOY
and irony is wearing
high heel sneakers
when the printed title above
is larger than the one
on the actual book cover
featured below
But Dawn Powell's novel
is being given the extremely
rare treatment
of being put aside
before finishing it
I intend to return to
The Country Boy
but only after reading
a handful of books by
fellow members
of GAS*
including Atwood,
Trevanian, Salinger
and Natalia Ginzburg
Within the past five years,
this Dawn Powell novel
had been read
from start to finish
and left deep enough
psychic and spiritual
impressions on me
Thus,
I feel guilt-free
about this interrupted reading

*GAS is an acronym for
Genius Author Society
