and the life of Rhonda Richoux
I’ve noted your
disappointment
folded the note into
an origami rhinoceros
sealed it
in an envelope
labeled it
“URGENT”
and filed it away
somewhere
in my memory bank
BUT
I’d be happy to
retrieve it for you
tomorrow,
should you
need it again
or should I,
for once,
decide to give a fuck.

I am retired from the public school system. I create magic wands and spells, write mediocre poetry and the occasional freelance magazine article; research local history and family genealogy; I’m an activist and keep in touch with friends, family and archenemies on Facebook, Twitter, What’s App and Word Press. I'm a Fiipina-Cajun troublemaker and trickster. I'm feeling as invincible as Keith Richards these days. Fuck is my favorite word. View more posts

Have mercy, I couldn’t help but laugh but that is deliciously harsh.
