A great cloud rose up over the horizon
and a little leaf or something like a leaf fell down out of the sky.
'Spiraled right around, it did...falling and falling, slowly, slowly
circling, until it landed on the honey-grubber's face. Honey
grubbers hate it when leaves fall on their faces, you know.
“Chippy-hand!” cried the
honey-grubber as the leaf tickled that big old nose of his and he
lashed out with nails that were so filthy and hands darkened with sin
and toil. Hellish, hellish honey-grubber. The dirty nails of his
hand tore the flesh off his nose and the leaf-like object was
bloodied. “Bastage chippy-hand!” he cried and the tears welled
up in his filthy, waxy eyes.
The honey-grubber rolled to his feet
and wiggled that pooch like a see-saw hobby horse. When a pooch
gives a jiggle you never know where it might end. Hobby-horse like a
see-saw? You know what I mean? You know exactly what I mean and I
think that you like it, too...just look at that pooch wiggling like a
see-saw hobby horse. The honey-grubber takes those filthy hands and
rubs his palms across his pooch. A little blood trickles off that
face of his, where the leaf-like object had landed and where his
dirty nails had torn.
If you look closely, you can see right
inside the honey-grubber and maybe spot a little bit of light. Go
ahead. Look closely. Don't get too close, though, because his
breath is like a stinking anus or maybe, at best, like the stench of
a full colon – fresh, but still horrible. If you lean in to see
the honey-grubber's wounds, you can almost see yourself reflected
back in his eyes, and you feel his body heat and you can smell his
stink and you can tell that his chest is rising and falling as he
breathes out that foul air.
And he looks at you. And he stares.
And his face bleeds where he tore it.
And you know you are inside of him.
And he in you.
And the great cloud blows off, past the
horizon, leaving a gray patch in the heavens where the honey-grubber
trains his gaze. And it is pale and it is moist.
And that leaf or something like a leaf
is on the ground, and it is blown by the wind and blows right away.
It blows right away.
