-REPORTS OF A BIZARRE, HYPERAGGRESSIVE VEHICLE, OR, POSSIBLY, A PERSON DRESSED AS A WAR MACHINE OF SOME KIND. WE GO LIVE TO THE PARKING LOT OF-
the bigass pickup truck
adorned with the Samsara Armaments logo
not a company vehicle
just a private citizen
branding his shit with the insignia of his favorite death merchant
-LIKELY A MISIDENTIFICATION OF A REGULAR CAR OR TRUCK MERELY DECORATED WITH THE NAME OF AN ARMS MANUFACT-
tubby middle-aged man
wife and brat
detrucking in the department store parking lot
I’m there, too, and curious what tubby’s got inside his truck
I tend to stare
but few can hold my gaze
which strikes like a bee
when you thought you were a safe distance from the hive
now you feel it smarting above your brow
I’m a hive you best not stare at
in this sense
but no
mostly
I just catch glances
which are quickly averted
but every so often a tough guy will lock sightjellies with me
and then I gesture
sometimes obscenely if I think it will escalate things
but usually the tough guys back down
when they actually
fucking
SEE
me
‘cause
well
I am a sight
I do like to put my work on display
but I’m also rather conceptual in my appearance
if you’re focused on your usual business
you’ll more than likely walk on by
dismissing me as some defective aspect of the advertorial hellscape
or a member of the walking wounded recently voided from some defunct division of some corporate cancerplex capriciously cutting costs
even if I’m crying
just like that song
not that I remember ever shedding tears
you have to be born to do that
right?
I think that’s how that works
I fake cry if I think it will escalate things
but that only usually works with specific types
in fact
more often than not
crying draws the boringass bleeding hearts
who don’t have anything I’m looking for
and
unfortunately
tubby and his fam
likely don’t have that spark I’m after
either
despite putting out vibes
but I might slash open his truck
see if he’s got an actual arsenal
or is he just another poseur
it’s hit or miss with these self-branded types
their wives aren’t always onboard with the traveling arsenal act
not that I need the weapons
I am a weapon
it’s just amusing to me
to do as I please
to see who’s actually ready for some action
ready for a real conceptual sort like myself
I’m frequently disappointed
which is my way of saying
I’m almost always disappointed
going back years
but the readiness
but the hope
is all
-RAZY FROM THE HEAT. AT LEAST THAT’S THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOME SOCIAL RESEARCHERS WHO ASSERT THAT SUCH BIZARRE ENCOUNTERS AND SIGHTINGS ARE LIKELY TO INCREASE AS GLOBAL WARMING PUTS MORE HEAT DOMES-AND THEREFORE MORE PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS-ONTO LARGER CHUNKS OF THE POPULA-
