War, and Yet More Wars by E Lloyd Kelly |
The old man saw them coming when at first, they came on down. Sliding squarely upon regular slimy skating gear, as they are known. The juice, my youth, as picked up and brought in from way up there under his walking boots, that is the truth. Too much of such over on that sided shout, so much so that he could not avoid it on the way out. So, he slid right in on them. As for them, those Larried gentlemen? They were never the same again.
They roped him in with their warm smoking chimney, shining beauty, and splendor. Came he not knocking at their window, and hopping in through their wide-open door? Yes, that was it. They would have seen their mighty men and their godly friends, yes, them. They would have seen them again, like, like no more.
"War, war, and yet more wars," was what they heard coming into the car across the notes of the bar player's guitar. "This is war, between the squares and the circulars." The cubes, however, were somewhere in there among those squares on the river. To be fair to them, they were top-tiered children, but. They were sitting there just like always, yes. They had always been sitting there. Cozying up and over in an old rocking chair and savoring the fouled-up musky air. Not much to do over there other than to screw and unscrew the bottled beer. Just like they already knew that they should never do, yes, my dear. But screwing hard at the screw, that they did. And "pop" came the top of the liquor jar. As they swallowed hard at the bar brawl. Pausing for just a while from singing along to the songs of the pee on no man. He was there playing a gig at the barstool stand. But for a while, he didn't smile.
Neither did any of his raving admirers because they thought he was pausing giving them laughs in fine style and wasting time gazing up at the singing shining star. Those fastened fast to the blanket there, yonder far. But, in reality, it was something quite amazing to him, and me. To the rest of them too, in the end. Because, in looking around, in those places that they did not know before the times of their homely faces. They were to see some possibilities out there. Yes, they did. Out there in those very places near where they lived. There were some trees, the evergreen kinds.
Anyways, there were mighty wooded forests out there, and yet other green trees. A called possibility his lying eyes would have come to see, seen?
"Seen."
"Yeah, man, yardie sin ting, or something."
Then, look, over there is the Lars. Shortened and Circular. Just the way they always are, in particular. They too were there gazing, spending many odd days in, and out. Out in the open looking about, and upward bent. You know, like, they were there bending their necks backward. While watching the stars and tracking the herd.
Things such as someone else's truths. Even worse than that, he could pass them off as the ultimate truth, no? Yes. They were to quickly notice a tooth, and while the Notice families were there giving ears to the mute. They'd picked up a note that said: People spoke just like Pickney, yes, my child. As in childhood children wrote and read, for the most part. They liked to worship stars and throw spikey pointed piercing darts.
They were rather spiritual too, in the natural arts. The Lars, mostly so, so smart they are. Wink-wink. I'm here thinking of linking up the car to the shining star and going right by him to take a spin over the rim, no? Look at him, a real whim, no? Yes, let's go. So, the squares drew themselves nearer. Then go on out there, to go and out-steer them, and her. To make something up for them, somewhere up there.
"Where, when? You mean, like, like, out there?"
"Yes sir, mister pointy finger."
He makes gods for them up there, somewhere up in the air, and sticks them there to linger. Somewhere between the right and the left ear symbols. Other gods too, he made them all new. Other gods than those of theirs whom they, the Lars would have known and worshiped afore-times, from afar. Out of their godly fear and favors to her. The Squares gave such to them to wake them up. Then send them off to the workshop, and to "wonder-working worship," and they did. Didn't they give good godly gifts? Yes Siree, yes, they did.
Meanwhile, the circulars were there, busily majoring around in a round of beer, on the bar of golf. Gulping down the gullible in believing in such. Like, believing lies, even. Lies chiefly, Ben.
"Why, but why?"
"Why! Did you ask my guy friend? Well, listen up while I sell you a pen."
Things like strong and beautiful thighs to show off before their eyes. Tied up in Military things and hung them on a long string. Then neck-laced them somewhere below the teething of the heathens. Then went out further and started building big and scary buildings. Those that were so designed as to get the other wide-eyed void, you know them! Yes, I wouldn't have lied, while sitting down below them on the wrong side. "You mean, those same rounded circulars from the other sides?"
"Yes."
"Yes, I can see you."
Well, nice.
Even his sweet untouched yet touchable mother, yes, maybe. Since I've already given up on the godly goodness of my forefathers' family witness. Or was forced further to give up and to forget the order. Of all of them, even." So ordered by the other orders that were sent down from the other men in Eden to us, and them. The harder they came, the harder we went. Since I've already done all that. Then, I had better be sure to hold fast to the gods I've got yet bought.
In the beginning, was the giver. For this very reason, Steven did quiver. "Even after I'm done dead and gone to bed heaven only knows," the old man yawned and said this to his toes. "Forget the forgotten things earthen, heathens are those." There he goes, savoring the rose. After noting that there was nothing left here in the form of a question to pose. He was to find out yet some more of those, like...
He'd found out that, that said "other man" was still there trampling and walking up and down on his, sorry, I meant to say, "our," on our father's eternal possession. Even then, the very same godly incarnations that he had graciously given. "You know! He gave it unto me on that blessed day when - " "When, on which day?"
"On the very day when he was taking those very things away from you and me.
But that's okay I believe, because." That very same God, oh my god! It's he, (or she.) It's that same God who is going to avenge me against that man who has proven to me without a shadow of a doubt left there in his right hand. Or anywhere else left of their best man. Showing it up as proof for me to see, that he's my mortal enemy.
Yet, it is his gods whom he has given who is going to save me, and get me into heaven? Oh yes! I see. This I do believe though. With all of me, Beau. Because belief is all that I've got left of me, probably. In the meantime, though. Look, out there behind the blunt head-bent bow, the beat goes on, on the rows. On the part of that other man too, look, there he goes. He's out there on the square again. Supervising the works of his mighty men who are still on the beat over there, my friend.
"Right."
Or yet more beating there may be, like. Like how they'll beat you up, all of you. Or maybe, just some of you and your little pup? Yes, that is the truth. Beat you up and take what you have left, if any. Or that which you haven't freely given up to him and Emmy, yet. Even the very last penny, "and what for?" You'd asked her? To pacify him and to get. Like, getting good godly gifts, you bet.
While he was working though. You were there sleeping, bro, yes, my brother. Or talking and singing and boasting and grinning. Blogging, and vlogging, and giving up information unto him, Loggin. How-to information, even. Now, go on in. The door is open so, go. Go on in and give them to him. Those same kinds of things that he uses to build those very strong and beautiful things, to kill. While you're left there with the nothings, still. He, though, continues to build, bro. Yes, building more of his beautiful things, Beau.
He built them with materials that he took not from within, you... you know? Not from within his borders. You already know that they're those very things that you freely gave unto him in proper order. For you to be able to barter. But he was smarter, so, he did cause you to give up the very best of everything, unto him. In the very act of trading the math that evening, while you were left there with the "nothing," still. The trash remains too, and things and ting.
