There was a WOMAN
Con/Jur/d, 5/9/2025
There was a woman, who asked
why do you go by the nomenclature
Dr. Con, do you want to be known as
a “Con Man?” and we’d been together
too many years by then, and some say
and they wouldn’t be entirely wrong, 1
year had been too many, but they
failed, to grasp, despite our, half-assed
efforts, we had not succeeded
in our ambitions, she to remove herself
from the normative GAZE despite hospitalization
for anorexia, a long term heroin habit, now
reduced to cigarettes and alcohol, after
the CURE failed to stop her heart, leave her
WANDERING in the land of the ANCESTORS
we had failed at a wife and a child, having
disappointed the WIFE and we all thought
IT BEST
she took the child, and there we were, 2 DRUNKS
who had been pretending too long, this is what
love looked like, one of the first times we had SEX
she had said, YOU can kill me if you want, and NO
we didn’t want to help her try again, DEATH BY
BOYFRIEND, was not part of this arc, however
the last bit of the SAVIOR complex, was activated
TRANSFORMER like, or DIGIMON like
certain parts of the character-armor, reassembled
(later -- after the nastiness -- she accused us of the most
egregious crimes, bitter on our lack of follow through)
bound us there, bored with each other’s stories,
we argued like a scam letter, spamming each other
platitudes, buried in drama we forgot,
YOU CAN ONLY BE HAPPY
NOW, not in some mythic future, free of conmen
allthewayupandallthewaydown
although, her liver has collapsed and she has achieved
transcendence on her own, we’ll answer now:
meant to be a joke, taken from an unfinished manuscript
the full name was Doctor Concrescence, after Whitehead’s
concrescence as the coming of GOD, into the universe,
the over LAPPING LAPPING LAPPING waves of
FUTURE/PAST building this, THIS-THIS
where you are right NOW, subject to the waves of
GRAVITY LIGHT RADIATIONS and
JOY
the DOCTORS of old, the idealized CONFIDENCE
trickster, with pill, scalpel, and manner, committed
repairs upon the levies and rocks impeding these WAVES
joyfully
LAPPING LAPPING LAPPING
at us right now, and never at any other time
let them.Much love,
Con/Jur/d, 5/9/2025
