I got candy

Thinking about this proposal I had to make this morning woke me up at four in the A damned M. I thought some of my competitors sounded a bit tentative last night. I was seeing something less than confidence. We aint scared of nuttin. We can machine stuff to one ten thousandth of an inch. That's 30 times slimmer than a human hair. Fuck, you can barely measure it. Blow on it and it changes. I called the owner this morning, woke him up, said if I can get another 10% can I have half of it? He said, I'll give you a third and if you lose this you cocky fuck you're my new janitor. I said, long as it pays good, he says, it won't. Probably should have shut up then but I added, you want wimpy we got a drawer full of applications....hung up carefully so as not to rile him. So....I raised it 12%. Hey, it aint stealing if I make him richer. Roll dem bones and call me daddy.

So, I turned it in all nice and neat with a bow on it and left. This shindig was supposed to last all day today but they had more time on their hands than they had substance and content.

I'm playing hooky. Not hockey, not hokey, hooky. It's a day to live for, a balmy, breezy, beauty and the humidity is hovering right around 50%, same as my humility. I drove through downtown on the way home, the long way, through old neighborhoods with a crisp clear cerulean sky overhead. I'm going to sip from the straw of life today, hell, I'm going to slurp at it, gobble from the goblet, chug from the chalise, lick at life's labia. Bury my face in it and inhale the sweet scent. The world is my pussy and I'm going to eat it up. Make it cum. A lookout, lookout, the Candyman, here he cums then he's gone again kinda day. I got candy little girl.

I feel like I can grab all that which is usually just out of my reach. You know how you can barely touch it and if you roll it just right it comes to you. Sometimes it squirts away? Not today, I'm grippin'.

I'm home, the window is open and the 72 degree air is in my nostrils and there are breezin' leaves and the hood is all quiet so I might just scream out this window just to make my neighbors wonder exactly what the fuck is going on over here. Maybe I'll call out my own name.

Might be a good thing I didn't get a good night's sleep. I have that look in my eye today.
