Just Fuggedaboutit

Here is the thing; liberals, democrats, moderates, conservatives, aren’t they all the same? Doing the same old act, promoting an agenda, be it that of rightist or the leftist. One unable to bear the stench of another or vice versa.

Because here I am walking inside a slushy bookstore on phase V, and Voila! all heads roll as the Devil trots in.

I saw a middle aged mother wrapping her (queen-sized) arms around her little tyke, who seemed wide eyed and hopelessly scared, against her breast, and whispering. Here cometh the dark man, sonny, you better behave to your mama now.

And the rest of them turning around, looking in unison, their eyes probing anxiously. And I especially noted that narrow hipped, bandana wearing, clad in tight tops chic now able to look right through his boyfriend as her eyes never strayed off me. As if I would explode any second.

And for a moment, I wish I had. If you catch the drift.

Because here is the thing; I have a beard, a really small one.

Hey guys, take it easy. I aint wearing that bloody jacket you know. Yea, that one with a little red wire strung inside. No thank you, not me.
 
Or is it the Governor? Come on, you gotta be kiddin me. I didn’t shoot him!!!

Here’s what I am here to do; buy couple of Stephen King’s and a latest one from Kazuo Ishiguro, if I am lucky. And then walk off this place, and get a bottle of bourbon from across the street, distilled of course, and have Sam’s happy time.

Within the next fifteen minutes, I was walking out of the bookstore, and it was a relief, which kinda worked both ways, I am sure. 

Once across the street, the guy at the counter gives me a queasy look, wordless in his admonishments of my incorrect political innuendos.

My hand reached for my beard, feeling it and wondering. But hey, isn’t it a touch too small to matter.

But whether it mattered to God or not, it did matter to him. Because he continued to look petrified. Both work in strange ways I suppose.

But never mind, because with luck, I will outlive the stare. Grab the stuff, pay up, and Auf Wiedersehen, pal.

But hey, I wondered. What exactly is wrong with these people? I mean, when was the last time I actually thought about who shall dangle by the proverbial noose come the sunrise tomorrow, or about moderates, liberals, conservatives, apparently trying to drink from the same stinking pond, which given their moral shortcomings, will never happen. Or when was the last time I actually worried about being blown to kingdom come by a divine wacko?

Probably never.

Or how about the all time favorite; the blasphemy laws, which has attracted more curiosity than the constellation of Taurus apparently. 

I mean all that jazz for one lifetime!

And at last, quoting the good old Mafiso wiseguy, I say to myself; Just Fuggedaboutit.
