FROST AND MIKO - WHERE ARE WE?

2011-09-20T05:36:00.000-07:00

Hello Frost & Miko Fans! Ken Jr. aka "Johnson R. Ducks," cartoonist of F & M here.

Well, I am sorry to say that this concludes the posting of "Frost & Miko." Rather abrupt end, eh? There are ten to twenty more strips, half of them pencilled, half of them inked, all of them embarrassing! They feature, as the last bunch have, Hack-boy and Su yapping away and not much Frost & Miko!

We will see...Will I find the time and desire to ink the last few strips? Maybe, maybe not, but this concludes the regular weekly posting of the Frost & Miko comic strip.

I hope you had fun with the squirrel and ostrich on their wacky adventures! After this comic strip, they evolved into PLUS-MINUS of "STOP MAKING CRAP" by HAFJAK DIVIZ. What will their next incarnation be?

Farewell, Frost & Miko Fans! Thank you for reading!

Sincerely,

Ken Jr. alias this and that

FROST AND MIKO - AUTHOR'S NOTE

2011-05-24T06:17:00.000-07:00

Hiya folks,

It's Ken Jr., creator of all things Ganerda, here with some notes regarding your favorite comic strip "Frost & Miko."

Firstly, my humble and sincerest apologies to anyone who has been offended by the strip.

Secondly, posted below is the copyright form for "Frost & Miko." This is the third posting of this document on this blog. The "Frost & Miko" comic strip was written and drawn by myself way back from 1994 to 1996 and was copyrighted then, too. I cartooned the strip in my mid-twenties when I was young, dumb and invincible, when all of life's tragedy was far away, impossible and laughable.

Thirdly, why haven't we posted the whole stack of "Frost & Miko?" Why do we post it from week to week? To keep you coming back to Ganerda's Business!

Lastly, here are some background notes on "Frost & Miko." Like a good cartoon daddy, I love and want to protect my little creations. One of my worst fears was the kidnapping or theft of my cartoon babies. Much of this is expressed in "Frost & Miko."

During the 90's when this strip was created, the scariest monster cartoon eater was the Disney corporation. Working in cartoon animation, I heard of and witnessed many cartoon kidnappings, thefts and murders. All this fear and loathing of losing my cartoon babies went into "Frost & Miko" in the form of "Mickey Rodes." Mickey Rodes is the tied and bespectacled rat character who represents the worst of Hollywood's wheelers, dealers, movers and shakers. He is always trying to take advantage of little Frost & Miko, and that's a good thing because it makes for good strips!

Happy days, thank you for clicking in, and have a grand Ganerda week!

Ken the Juniors

Here's some more Frost & Miko for you. I have been told that this comic strip was done in a small L.A. apartment in the 90's when the cartoonist should have been traveling Europe with his beautiful wife! Was it worth the best years of the cartoonist's life? Read on and decide!

You are inebriated, aren't you...

WORSE MS GRUL
IM OLD
TIME IS RUNNING OUT
EVERY MOMENT COUNTS
THE FEAR IS DRIBBLING AWAY
REPLACED BY A BLAZING PASSION
TO CREATE WHILE STILL FERTILE AND ABLE
BEFORE ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS CRUMBLE
AND SYSTEMS DECLINE
BEFORE MY WORLD TRANSFORMS INTO SOMEONE ELSES
AND WITHIN IT
I BECOME LOST AND A STRANGER
BLIND IMMOBILE AND HELPLESS

Okay Don QuiHAFJAK--So dramatic! Are you going crazy because you couldn't figure out how to program your blu-ray? Just think about--Sylvester Stallone and Harrison Ford. They're healthy active old guys.

THATS A GOOD TIP
WILL DO

Well folks, I have to agree a bit with HAFJAK. I've read the remnants of the run of Frost & Miko. It's cute, but it changed and, for the most part, not for the better.

AHA

Please don't interrupt me. And introduce yourself, so the reader knows who you are.

OKAY
SORRY

The good news is we'll be posting more past artwork here on the blog and on the site--thanks to the amazing Mr. James--and it will be fun and colorful!

Be quiet HAFJAK!

Welcome to the Ganerda's Business Blog! Ganerda Grul here with this week's Frost & Miko!

I SHOULD BURN THAT STACK OF CRAP

HAFJAK aka "Johnson R. Ducks" is a bit embarrassed--years ago, he drew himself into a comic strip, and now I'm posting it here for all to see!

IM MORTIFIED
DID IT TO MYSELF
CANT COMPLAIN
BUT IT BURNS

Don't worry about it HAFJAK. It will all be over soon. We're forty now. Then we'll be sixty. Soon after that we'll be gone. Consider yourself lucky that you recorded parts of your life in your cartoons.

YES
WHAT A LEGACY
SARCASM
SO DAMN EMBARRASSING
SO NARCISSISTIC
SO POORLY RENDERED
SHOULD NEVER HAVE DONE IT
CAN SEE WHY THIS STRIP TURNED INTO
PLUS MINUS AND STOP MAKING CRAP

Yes, see? Frost & Miko was a crucial step towards PLUS-MINUS, part of its evolution.

ENH
NOBODYS READING IT ANYWAY
SO WHO GIVES A CRAP

That's the spirit HAFJAK! Now let's be on our merry way towards the end!

Enjoy the comic strip and HAFJAK'S public humiliation!

STOP READING FROST AND MIKO NOW

Hey!

Ganerda Grul here. Thank you for clicking into the Ganerda's Business Blog. Please ignore that first statement by HAFJAK DIVIZ aka johnson R. ducks, the cartoonist responsible for "Frost & Miko."

STOP READING

He's a bit embarrassed because this week's installment of Frost & Miko introduces a new character: Hackboy. "Hackboy" is based on young 1996 HAFJAK aka Ken Jr.

THIS IS WHEN THE STRIP
NEVER AN ADMIRABLE UNDERTAKING TO BEGIN WITH
TAKES A TURN FROM WHICH IT DOES NOT RECOVER
WHEN A CARTOONIST CAN NO LONGER SPEAK THROUGH HIS CHARACTERS
AND MUST INJECT HIMSELF INTO THE STRIP
IS WHEN THE STRIP FAILS ENTIRELY
SEE ZIPPY THE PINHEAD

(Laughter.) I love seeing you cringe.

BE QUIET

YOU SADISTIC GORGEOUS NERD GIRL

Tee hee! Enjoy the comic strip and the cartoonist's public embarrassment. Yes, public embarrassment~it's what the world wide web and Ganerda's Business is all about.

AAGH

WHAT IS THAT

A tidbit from HAFJAK DIVIZ aka "Johnson R. Ducks," writer and artist of Frost & Miko:

FELLOW GERMOPHOBES AND HYPOCHONDRIACS
DONT DESPAIR
THERES ONLY ONE MORE PAGE OF THIS HYPO PHOBIO STORY ARC
BUT I REMEMBER MY HYPOCHONDRIA FONDLY
SILLY STUFF
FROM 95 TO 96
WHEN THIS STRIP WAS DONE
I USED TO DELIVER MAIL AT A MOVIE STUDIO
DELIVERED IT IN LITTLE GOLF CARTS
TO ALL THE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS ON THE LOT
ON MAIL RUNS I WOULD HAVE CHEST PAINS
WAS IT HEART ATTACK
LUNG CANCER
SOME RARE MYSTERIOUS OTHER UNHEALTHY CONDITION
I WENT TO THE DOCTOR TOLD HIM ABOUT THE CHEST PAINS
HE HOOKED ME UP TO A MACHINE TOLD ME MY HEART WAS FINE
HE ASKED ME QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
ARE YOU EXERCISING LIFTING WEIGHTS
THATS WHEN I REALIZED THE SOURCE OF THE CHEST PAINS
ON EVERY STOP ON MY MAIL ROUTE
I WOULD DO A SET OF PUSHUPS
ON THE MAIL ROUTE ARE MANY STOPS
I WAS DOING A LOT OF PUSHUPS
AW ITS JUST MUSCULO SKELETAL THEN
THE DOCTOR SAID ANNOYED
FEELING SILLY BUT RELIEVED
I LEFT THE DOCTORS OFFICE
AND DREW SOME FROST & MIKO

Well what do you know! Enjoy your Frost & Miko this week and stay tuned. We have received an advanced handbound copy of our new book from Ganerda's Business: Tapetop Turtle: Under the Palm Tree. Hopefully we will post some pictures of that. And of our trip to Bat's Day. Oh my, just thinking about all this stuff is making me want to go back to bed!

Sweet dreams, and thank you for your time and interest,

FROST AND MIKO 47 AND COPYRIGHT FORM

2010-05-15T09:27:00.000-07:00

Thank you for clicking into the Ganerda's Business blog!

Please start your weekend the right way--with Frost & Miko!

Also, as an avid reader and dedicated librarian, I must recommend "Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and his Revolutionary Comic Strip" by Nevin Martell. I must confess, I thought the biography was just going to be a puff piece--"Isn't Calvin and Hobbes great? Isn't Bill Watterson great? He was born here, and his favorite color is yellow--Isn't that great?" and so on. After reading the adoring prologue and the gushing epilogue, I agreed that Watterson and his comic strip were great, and I did not need to read 250 pages to know that. Walking to the library, before parting with the book, I perused it for interesting tidbits and was dumbstruck upon reading about his conflict with licensing and merchandising!

I do not want to spoil it. I will only say that Watterson's true life story reads like "The Fountainhead" for our branded and logo covered new millennium.

Fans who wonder where Watterson and his comic strip went, please look for "Looking for Calvin and Hobbes." And Enjoy your Frost & Miko!

Have a lovely weekend,

Hello and thank you for clicking into the Ganerda's Business blog!

How about some updates before you wolf down this week's savory serving of Frost & Miko?

Piermoy and I are done with "Tapetop Turtle: Under the Palm Tree." It is on its way to being bulk printed as we speak. This book was quite difficult to birth! It was supposed to be the first book out of Ganerda's Business, but a lot of things are supposed to be and aren't--so "Tapetop" will wind up being the second of the three books that will be emerging from this business. Thanks to Tiffany and the diligent crew at Regent Publishing Services, our second bouncing baby book will be delivered just in time for San Diego Comic Con International 2010! Thank you Regent!

I am proud to announce that The Speck will soon return! Not one, not two, but five big honking chapters have been written of everyone's favorite shrinking hero. HAFSLACK just has to type them into the computer. Keep your magnifying glasses out to see the next exciting chapters chronicling the exploits of the Speck!

Calling all Goths! On May 1, 2010, Ganerda's Business and VFK Fewings, writer of the epic "Stonemasters" vampire series, will be at Bat's Day in Anaheim. HAFJAK DIVIZ will be there signing copies of his book "STOP MAKING CRAP!" I will be there too, proudly fulfilling my role as this business's trademark character. Many thanks to the Big Lou for telling us about Bat's Day!

That's it! Now please tuck into this week's crunchy yet sweet black and white treat Frost & Miko!

Thank you for your time and interest,

GANERDA-HAFJAK MINI INTERVIEW

Ganerda: HAFJAK? What's up with this "Hypo Phobio" character?

HAFKAK: DUNNO--GUESS STRUGGLED WITH THOSE ISSUES WAY BACK IN 96

Ganerda: 1996? Did you say 1996?

HAFWAK: 1996--I SAID 1996

Ganerda: You wrote and drew this strip in 1996?

HAFSAK: I WROTE AND DREW THIS STRIP AND COPYRIGHTED IT IN 1996

Ganerda: Did you say 1996?

HAFWIT: WHY CANT YOU HEAR ME--IM TYPING AS LOUD AS I CAN--1996

Ganerda: What issues were you dealing with?

HAFJAP: HYPOCHONDRIA--GERM PHOBIA--CRAPFOODOBIA--DISTILLED ALL MY FEARS INTO THIS WRECK OF A CHARACTER AND LAUGHED THEM AWAY

Ganerda: So you could say that cartooning cured you?

HAFFAG: CARTOONS CURE ALL

We are overjoyed to present to you yet another installment of those doodle darlings "Frost & Miko!" These comics were written and drawn in 1996 and are finally being presented to you in the new millenial year of 2010 A.D.! Soon it will be 2020 A.D. What will be offered to you from Ganerda's Business then? In the year 2000 A.D., Ganerda's Business was only a bunch of formless thoughts and unnamed desires floating in one's subconscious mind. Now, our second book is going to print, and our blog is busy infecting the world wide web! Please forgive my moment of pride, but this business has not only squirmed its way out of the primordial ooze. It is now sprouting wings!

Hello, and thank you for clicking into the Ganerda's Business Blog!

I hope that you have some wonderful plans for the weekend. I do. I and Piermoy are on the quest to finalize his book "Tapetop Turtle: Under the Palm Tree." It's always the last ten percent of a project that is the most exhausting. When the end is in sight, it is all one can see, think about or desire. Hopefully, this weekend will conclude the lovely labor on "Tapetop Turtle," a story for all ages. We will actually be able to let children peruse this book at the cons! It was not so with the bombastic and battering "STOP MAKING CRAP."

But bless that HAFJAK DIVIZ! He is hard at work on a small PLUS MINUS animation written, directed and co-animated by Jammin James C! It is coming along quite nicely, and it is very fun to see drawings of PLUS MINUS come to life.

Meanwhile, here is another comic strip crumpet of "Frost & Miko." Enjoy it with tea!

We are Ganerda's Business, the business that keeps giving!

Thank you for clicking into the Ganerda's Business blog where Frost & Miko frolic for you every week!

I hope you are enjoying "ADVENTURES OF THE SPECK" by HAFJAK DIVIZ. It reads to me like a comic book movie in poetry form! The next installment is titled "DRAGON," the conclusion to the three part chapter "ON THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD PLAYING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS." I can't wait to read it!

Wonder Con is fast approaching. We will be there at the Moscone Center on April second! I will be making my appearance as I usually do--two-dimensionally.

Piermoy is working diligently on "Tapetop Turtle: Under the Palm Tree." His book will be ready for San Diego Comic Con 2010!

It is year of the Tiger, folks, and I, Ganerda Grul, Librarian and Publisher, feel strong, striped and sharp of claw! This year is going to be GRRRRRRRREAT!

Enjoy the comic strip, and thank you once again for your time and interest,

Hello there and thank you for clicking into onto and towards the Ganerda's Business Blog!

We are a tad frantic over here at Ganerda's Business, but it's good frantic, like a caffeine and sugar buzz from a really decadent coffee beverage.

Here is a Ganerda's Business news update:

We will be attending Wonder Con 2010 in April!

Piermoy--yes, yet another alias dear reader--is hard at work on his book "Tapetop Turtle: Under the Palm Tree," the second book from Ganerda's Business. "Tapetop Turtle" is the polar opposite of "STOP MAKING CRAP" by HAFJAK DIVIZ and will be printed up in time for San Diego Comic Con 2010!

Last but not least, here is another piping hot plate of "Frost & Miko" for you, fresh from 1996!

ADVENTURES OF THE SPECK 5 A SERIAL POEM BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-31T11:13:00.000-08:00

ADVENTURES OF THE SPECK 5

ON THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD PLAYING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS

A CHAPTER IN THREE PARTS

PART TWO

DUNGEON

MY NAME IS TATE TYNEE

AKA THE SPECK

I WAS BORN WITH THE STRANGE ABILITY

TO SHRINK IN SIZE

RIGHT NOW I AM THE SIZE OF A CHILD

A LITTLE OVER THREE FEET TALL

AND I AM IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR

ITS DARK IN HERE

I ROLL INTO A FETAL POSITION

CLOSE MY EYES BREATHE DEEP

GIVE MYSELF A FEW MOMENTS

SO THE ADRENALINE IN MY BLOOD CAN BURN OFF

I NEED MY HANDS TO STOP SHAKING

I LISTEN TO THE CARS ENGINE

THE ROLLING OF THE TIRES

THE DRIVING OVER BUMPS

THE STOPPING AT LIGHTS

THE TURNING OF CORNERS

MY HANDS BECOME STILL AND STEADY

ITS A BIT CRAMPED IN THE TRUNK

I GIVE MYSELF SOME SPACE

BY SHRINKING TO A FOOT TALL

I SIT UP IN THE NOW CAVERNOUS DARKNESS

CROSS MY LEGS AND REACH INTO MY BACKPACK

MY BACKPACK AND CLOTHES SHRUNK WITH ME

BECAUSE I CAN SHRINK THINGS TOO

HOW DO I DO IT

I DO IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN BLINK YOUR EYES

I PULL OUT MY FLASHLIGHT CLICK IT ON

SEARCH THE TRUNK FOR CAMERAS

YEAH

ONE GUY HAD HIS TRUNK SET UP LIKE THAT

WITH A TINY SURVEILLANCE CAMERA

BEING SEEN BY IT LED TO A RATHER UNSETTLING EXPERIENCE

I SWING MY TORCH AROUND

NO CAMERAS

THIS GUYS GOOD THOUGH

THE TRUNK IS IMMACULATE

LINED WITH PLASTIC SHEETING

TO CONTAIN AND DISPOSE OF

ALL EVIDENCE OF ME AND MY ABDUCTION

I FEEL A BIT ILL

AM I HUNGRY

I PULL OUT A NUTRITION BAR CHOKE IT DOWN

DRINK SOME WATER FROM MY THERMOS

NOT TOO MUCH

DONT WANT TO HAVE TO PEE

THE CAR IS MOVING SMOOTH AND STEADY

MY DRIVER TONIGHT IS ON HIS BEST BEHAVIOR

DOESNT WANT TO ATTRACT

THE ATTENTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT

WHILE HES GOT A KID IN HIS TRUNK

IM NOT A KID BY THE WAY

IM 37 YEARS OLD

HAVE AN UNRULY CROWN OF WHITE HAIR

I LOOK LIKE THE GEEKY CLONE OF JIM JARMUSCH

THE LONGER WE DRIVE AWAY FROM

THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD

THE MORE RESPECTABLE I THEORIZE

MY ABDUCTOR TO BE

ARE WE ROLLING INTO THE SUBURBS NOW

OR DOES HE LIVE IN A MORE POSH NEIGHBORHOOD

OR IS HE REALLY CAUTIOUS

AND WERE DRIVING TO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT

CITY OR STATE

WE WILL SEE

ALL I SEE NOW IS MY TORCH

BLAZING IN FRONT OF ME

LIKE A CAMPFIRE ON SOME HUNTING EXPEDITION

THE NUTRITION BAR WHETTED MY APPETITE

WANT MORE TO EAT NOW

BUT DECIDE AGAINST IT

DONT WANT TO OVERLOAD MY BODY

AND SUFFER CHEMICAL CONSEQUENCES

SLEEPINESS SLUGGISHNESS SICKNESS

INSTEAD I REACH INTO MY BACKPACK

FEEL STUPID AND ASHAMED

FOR WHAT I REACH FOR

DO IT OR DONT MY MIND COMMANDS

I PULL OUT THE NEWSPAPER

CHECK MY HOROSCOPE

SOMETIMES WHEN I FEEL LOST THREATENED AFRAID

AT MY WITS END

RUDDERLESS

I READ MY HOROSCOPE

I CONSIDER IT A BAD HABIT

BUT INDULGE MYSELF

SOMETIMES THE RANDOM INSPIRATION HELPS

TONIGHT IT DOESNT

THE HOROSCOPE JUST SAYS SOME CRAP

ABOUT TAKING SOMEONE SPECIAL

OUT TO DINNER

I STUFF THE PAPER BACK IN MY PACK

AND FOCUS ON REALITY

MAYBE MY ABDUCTOR IS DRIVING IN CIRCLES

OR IN SOME STRATEGIC ROUTE

TO LOSE ALL POSSIBLE PURSUERS

MAYBE HES DRIVING TO SOME REMOTE LOCATION

TO TORTURE THEN OFF ME

MY FULL CODE NAME IS THE SPECKTATER

AND THIS IS THE SPECKTATING PART

WHEN I JUST SIT AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN

I BETTER NOT FALL ASLEEP

I DO SOME PUSHUPS AND SITUPS TO WAKE UP

THEN I SIT CROSSLEGGED AND TRY TO QUIET MY MIND

I TRY AND SUCCEED

ALL THERE IS FOR A LONG WHILE

IS THE PURR OF THE ENGINE

AND TIRES ROLLING ON ASPHALT

THE CAR TURNS LEFT

CLIMBS A CURB

PAUSES

MAYBE FOR A GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN

THEN IT PULLS SLOWLY FORWARD

STOPS

THE E BRAKE IS PULLED THE ENGINE TURNED OFF

THATS IT

WERE ON

ZIP UP PACK

PUT ON SHOULDERS

EXPAND TO CHILD SIZE AGAIN

RED CAP ON TIGHT

HIDE MY WHITE HAIR

SHOULD JUST DYE IT

FETAL POSITION

DONE

COME ON YOU LOSER

I DONT HAVE ALL NIGHT

PREP FOR ATTACK

TRUNK OPENS

YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE

HOW MANY OF THESE DUNGEONS EXIST

NOR WOULD YOU BELIEVE

HOW MANY OF THEM IVE BEEN IN

STILL THE SIZE OF A CHILD

I CRAWL OUT OF THE PILLOW SACK

THE ROOM IS PITCH BLACK EXCEPT FOR

A THIN BAR OF LIGHT

EMITTING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY

DUNGEON CHAMBERS DOOR

I PULL OUT MY FLASHLIGHT CLICK IT ON

NO CAMERAS IN THE ROOM

I CLICK OFF THE FLASHLIGHT

EXPAND TO TRUE SIZE AND SUIT UP

THE DARKNESS DOESNT HINDER ME

IVE DONE THIS BEFORE

HELMET GLOVES JACKET

READY

I TURN ON THE HEADLAMP MOUNTED ON MY HELMET

FURTHER EXAMINE MY DUNGEON CELL

ITS BARELY WIDER THAN MY SHOULDERS

AND AS LONG AS A COFFIN

I WAS DELIVERED TO THIS CHAMBER IN A PILLOW SACK

PILLOW SACK SERVES TWO PURPOSES

HOOD AND BED

OTHERWISE THERES NOTHING ELSE IN HERE

EXCEPT A PLASTIC BUCKET

AND THE OVERPOWERING SCENT OF DISINFECTANT

ON THE WALLS AND FLOOR ARE MANY STAINS

IN THE CEILING IS A SINGLE LIGHT

A HALOGEN LIGHT BY THE MIRRORED LOOK OF IT

THERE ARE NO WINDOWS OR VENTS

ONLY THE DOOR IN FRONT OF ME

IN THE DOOR IS A PEEPHOLE

A GLASS AND METAL ONE

IM SURE IT PEEPS IN AT ME AND NOT OUT

I CLICK OFF MY HEADLAMP

WHEN MY CAPTOR OPENED THE TRUNK

THE LIGHTS IN HIS GARAGE WERE OFF

HE HAD NO WEAPON

ONLY THE PILLOW SACK

HE STUFFED ME INTO IT

ME READY TO SHRINK AND VANISH FROM ANY THREAT

THEN CARRIED ME INTO THE HOUSE

AS FAR AS I CAN SURMISE

WE ENTERED A CLOSET

IN THE CLOSET FLOOR WAS A TRAPDOOR

UNDER THE TRAPDOOR WERE CREAKING WOODEN STAIRS

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS WAS ANOTHER DOOR

THAT LED TO THE DUNGEON

WHERE IS MY CAPTOR NOW

IS HE HOLDING ANYONE ELSE CAPTIVE

FROM THE SIZE OF MY QUARTERS

I HYPOTHESIZE THAT THIS GUY

HAS HIS DUNGEON SET UP

WITH SEVERAL NARROW COFFIN LONG CHAMBERS

BLOODY HELL

I SHRINK DOWN TO SPECK SIZE

AND ENTER THE SLICE OF LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF MY DOOR

I HATE SHRINKING TO ANY SIZE UNDER SIX INCHES

EXISTING AT THAT SIZE IS LIKE

HARDLY EXISTING AT ALL

BUT ITS THE ONLY WAY OUT

I JOG UNDER THE DOOR

WHEN ONE IS THE SIZE OF A SPECK

DUST BECOMES AS DENSE AND HARD TO TRAVERSE AS BEACH SAND

PEBBLES BECOME BOULDERS

A DOORS THICKNESS BECOMES A ONE HUNDRED YARD DASH

RUN SPECK RUN

ADVENTURES OF THE SPECK 4 A SERIAL POEM BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-30T12:10:00.000-08:00

ADVENTURES OF THE SPECK 4

ON THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD PLAYING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS

A CHAPTER IN THREE PARTS

PART ONE

THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN

I SAY TO THE GOOD PEOPLE

BUT IM A FULLY FUNCTIONING ADULT LITTLE PERSON

IM GOING HOME FROM WORK

I WAVE GOODBYE TO THEM

THEY HESITATE

PARALYZED BY CONCERN

THEN THEY TURN AND GO BACK TO THEIR BUSINESS

THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE

EVEN HERE IN THE WORST PART OF TOWN

THE GOOD PEOPLE

THEY RISK THEMSELVES

AND COME OUT OF HIDING FOR ME

ITS MY SMALLNESS THAT DRAWS THEM OUT

MY NAME IS TATE TYNEE

AKA THE SPECK

I WIELD THE FREAKISH ABILITY TO SHRINK IN SIZE

RIGHT NOW

I AM SHRUNK TO THE SIZE OF A CHILD

A LITTLE OVER THREE FEET TALL

MY WHITE HAIR IS CONCEALED BY A RED CAP

A LA HOLDEN CAULFIELD

TO MOST

I LOOK LIKE A LOST KID

ON THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD

FROM MOST

MY LOST KIDNESS BRINGS OUT PROTECTIVE

PARENTAL INSTINCTS

THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE

MY KIND OF PEOPLE

THEY APPROACH ME WITH THEIR COURAGE AND CONCERN

IT FILLS ME UP WITH THE STRENGTH

TO CARRY OUT TONIGHTS DARK TASK

UNFORTUNATELY

TONIGHTS TASK IS NOT TO FIND GOOD PEOPLE

IM OUT HERE ON THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD

PLAYING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS

SPECK STYLE

LIKE I SAID

IM CHILD SIZED RIGHT NOW

MY SPECK STUFF

WHITE LAB COAT HELMET JACKET

THEYRE IN MY RED BACKPACK

MATCHING MY RED PACK AND CAP

IS MY RED T SHIRT

ON IT IS MY LOGO

THE LOGO LOOKS LIKE AN S SHAPED EXCLAMATION MARK

UPON CLOSER INSPECTION

IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE A MAN SHRINKING TO THE SIZE OF A

SPECK

ILL POST A PICTURE

IM ALL DRESSED IN RED

FOR TONIGHT

I AM BAIT

AS RED AS RAW MEAT

CHILD SIZED

I WALK AMONG THE PROSTITUTES AND PIMPS

ADDICTS AND DEALERS

AND THESE ARE THE GOOD PEOPLE

CURSED WITH HARD LUCK AND HARD TIMES

STILL

SOMETHING IN SOME OF THEM

MANAGES TO SHINE AND REACH OUT

AS I WALK BY

LIKE I GIVE AN S ABOUT ENDING SENTENCES WITH PREPOSITIONS

IM NOT EVEN USING PUNCTUATION

CRY TO YOUR ENGLISH PROFESSOR

I WEAVE IN AND OUT

OF POPULATED AND UNPOPULATED AREAS

IN BRIGHTER PEOPLED PLACES

I SHOW MYSELF

DROP MY SCENT

THEN I HEAD INTO DARK EMPTY SPACES

FAR FROM THE HERD

OFFERING OPPURTUNITY

HOPING SOMEONE IS CHASING THE LURE

TAKING THE BAIT

WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN

HOPEFULLY SOONER THAN LATER

WOULD LIKE TO RETAIN AS MUCH ENERGY AS POSSIBLE

FOR THE TASK AHEAD

AND NOT WASTE IT ON WALKING

DIMINUTIVE

I TREAD INTO DARK ALLEYS

DEEP DEAD ENDS

CREEPY CORNERS

THERE

PARKED IN THE DARK

IS A DECREPIT LOOKING VAN

ALL PRIMER AND GRIME

IS IT INHABITED OR ABANDONED

IS IT A STEEL NEST OF EVIL

IT CERTAINLY IS A SERIAL CRIMINAL CLICHE

I APPROACH THE VEHICLE

KNOCK ON ITS DENTED DOOR

KNOCK HARD

KNOCK LONG

NO RESPONSE

SO I START KNOCKING A DRUM SOLO

ON THE RUSTED WRECK

DOOR IS MY BASS

REARVIEW IS MY SNARE

DOOR DOOR REAR

DOOR DOOR REAR REAR

DOOR DOOR REAR

THEN I SPY HIM IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE

HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN STALKING ME

HIS HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF

HIS ENGINE BARELY AUDIBLE

BEWARE SPECK BEWARE

THE QUIET ONES ARE MORE LETHAL

THAN TEN NOISY ONES

I TURN FROM THE DECREPIT VAN

AND WALK DEEPER INTO DARKNESS

I BARELY HEAR HIS CAR DOOR OPEN

IM READY FOR YOU I WHISPER

AS THE SHADOWS CONSUME ME

HE IS WALKING BEHIND ME

ADRENALINE JOLTS THROUGH MY BODY

MY HANDS SHAKE WITH FEAR AND FURY

I PLACE THEM IN MY POCKETS

HIS FOOTFALLS ARE AS QUIET AS A CATS

I HUNCH OVER AND SHAKE PRETENDING IM COLD

PRETENDING IM SMALL AND HELPLESS

PREP FOR GUN KNIFE ATTACK

HE SWOOPS DOWN ON ME

AND I AM IN HIS CLAWS

ALL I CAN THINK IS

THROW ME IN THE TRUNK A HOLE

I DONT WANT TO HEAR YOUR SHT

HIS GRIP IS STRONG

HIS BELLY PLUSH

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU DONE THIS I THINK

WAS IT YOU I THINK

AND THE FURY ALMOST TAKES ME

MAKES ME WANT TO EXPAND AND SLAM HIM DOWN RIGHT THERE

IT TAKES EVERYTHING IN ME

TO RELAX AND REMAIN A RAG DOLL IN HIS GRIP

HE CARRIES ME BACK TO HIS CAR

HIS GLOVED CLAW OVER MY MOUTH

HIS LONG COAT FLAPPING

THE BILL OF HIS CAP LOOKING LIKE SOME PREDATORY BEAK

HE IS OILY AND CUNNING

DOESNT WANT A KID YELLING SCREAMING

BEATING ON THE WINDOWS OF HIS CAR

MAKING A SCENE DRAWING ATTENTION

I AM SWALLOWED WHOLE

INTO THE TRUNK OF HIS CAR

THE TRUNK DOOR CRUNCHES DOWN

AND WE SOAR OFF AND AWAY FROM

THE BIG BAD BOULEVARD

THE WONDROUS RANDOM BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-28T05:54:00.000-08:00

YO
THIS IS AN OPEN POEM THAT I WILL ADD TO
YES
AT RANDOM

SAW A WOMAN ON A PINK MOTOR SCOOTER
SHE HAD A TRIM FIGURE CLAD IN
BLACK HELMET
PURPLE SCARF
BLACK OVERCOAT
DARK BLUE JEANS
AND BLACK HIGH HEELS
REALLY
3 INCH HEELS
AND RIDING A SCOOTER

IM GLAD PERIODS HAVE REPLACED
THE PARENTHESES AND HYPHENS ON PHONE NUMBERS
MAKES PHONE NUMBERS LOOK SLEEK AND STREAMLINED NOW
A LITTLE MORE ARTFUL AND LESS TECHNICAL

MY YOUNGER SON WAS WATCHING
PEE WEES BIG ADVENTURE
THAT PART WHEN THE GIGANTIC COMPLICATED CONTRAPTION
IS MAKING HIS BREAKFAST

MY BOY MARVELED AT ALL THE TOYS
BOOTS AND ODDITIES WHIRRING AND SPINNING AROUND
TO COOK THE MORNING MEAL

THE BREAKFAST WAS FINALLY PRODUCED
A SHORT STACK OF GRIDDLE CAKES
WITH EGG EYES A STRAWBERRY NOSE
AND A BACON MOUTH

PEE WEE THEN POURED MR T CEREAL ALL OVER IT
AND BURIED THE PANCAKE FACE

AWWWW MY BOY GROANED
LIKE A GUY WATCHING HIS FAVORITE FOOTBALL TEAM
FUMBLE A PASS AT THE SUPERBOWL

HOLY S
SAW HER AGAIN
THE PINK SCOOTER WOMAN IN HIGH HEELS

SAW HER GOING WEST ON CULVER AND OVERLAND
SHES MYSTERIOUS IN HER HELMET
IT COVERS HER ENTIRE HEAD AND FACE
WHO IS SHE
WHATS HER HERITAGE
WHATS HER HAIR LIKE
DOES THE HELMET MESS IT UP

SHE LOOKS LIKE A POWER RANGER SUPERHERO

TODAY HER ENSEMBLE WAS
BLACK HELMET
WHITE TURTLENECK
PINK PUFFY VEST
DARK BLUE STRAIGHT LEG JEANS OVER
OF COURSE
HIGHHEELED BLACK LEATHER BOOTS
THE HEEL TODAY
TWO INCHES HIGH

I LOVE YOU PINK SCOOTER WOMAN
MAY THE GODS OF TRAFFIC NEVER DAMN YOU
TO A COMMUTE ON THE 405
OR DENY YOU CONVENIENT PARKING

IVE SEEN MY SPIRIT ANIMAL AND OF COURSE ITS A LONE WOLF BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-28T05:14:00.000-08:00

READY FOR SOME HAFJAK MUMBO JUMBO
OKAY

YOU EVER SEE THAT MOVIE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW
GOOD STUFF
DIRECTED BY WES CRAVEN
STARRING BILL PULLMAN AS A SCIENTIST ACTION HERO

I DUG IT
SURPRISED ME HOW GOOD IT WAS
ESPECIALLY THE END

ANYWAY

THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE WAS
THE GOOD GUY AND THE BAD GUY
HAVE THESE VISIONS OF THEIR SPIRIT ANIMALS
ANIMALS THAT DEFINE EACH MANS SOUL

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING

HERE COMES THE MUMBO JUMBO

IVE TOTALLY SEEN MY SPIRIT ANIMAL
SEE HIM EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES

WHAT I SEE
IS BLACK AND BLURRY
ITS THE SILHOUETTE OF A DOGLIKE CREATURE
COULD BE A COYOTE A DOBERMAN A WOLF

ITS LEGS ARE LONG
ITS EARS POINTED AND PRICKED
IT IS ALWAYS RUNNING

ITS EYES LOOK FORWARD
SCANNING THE HORIZON
ITS HEAD IS ALWAYS POINTED TO THE RIGHT
AND LIKE I SAID
ITS ALWAYS RUNNING

WHERE IS IT
IT RUNS AGAINST A BACKDROP OF INDIGO BLUE
THATS ALL THE DEFINITION I CAN SEE OF ITS WHEREABOUTS
A PATCH OF RICH INDIGO BLUE
LIKE A VAST DESERT PLAIN
ILLUMINATED BY MOONLIGHT

AND LIKE I SAID
ITS ALWAYS RUNNING
LOPING
GALLOPING

YEAH I KNOW
TOTALLY CLICHE
A LONE WOLF RIGHT
WHAT B S

THE IMAGE OF THE LOPING WOLFLIKE SILHOUETTE
IS ALWAYS THERE IN MY MIND
SOMETIMES ITS COMFORTING
THE CREATURE IS ALIVE HEALTHY AND ACTIVE
SOMETIMES ITS GRIM
YOU KNOW
LONE WOLF
ITS ALONE

BUT ITS ALWAYS THERE
TROTTING ACROSS MY MOONLIT CONSCIOUSNESS

I WISH I NEEDED DRUGS TO SEE IT
BUT I CANT TAKE DRUGS
I CANT DRINK SMOKE OR INJECT
IVE ALREADY GOT IT
WHAT DRUGTAKERS SEEK

IVE SPOKEN WITH DRUGTAKERS
THEY ENVY ME AND I THEM
THEY ENVY MY EVER RUNNING MIND
I ENVY THEIR STILL AND QUIET MIND

BUT WE ARE THE SAME
WE ARE BOTH ADDICTED
WE HAVE BOTH CHOSEN OUR POISONS
WHICH ELATE AND DESTROY US

YEAH
THAT SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW
WAS A PRETTY GOOD MOVIE
I WANT TO FURTHER RESEARCH THIS SPIRIT ANIMAL THING
IT EXISTS IN EVERY HUMAN CULTURE AND MYTHOLOGY
FROM CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS
TO SOUTH AMERICAN DRUG RITUALS
TO AFRICAN FABLES
TO ANCIENT GREEK MYTHS
TO NATIVE AMERICAN SPIRIT DANCES
TO AMERICAN POP CULTURE SUPERHERROES

AT THE DEALERSHIP DRESSED IN BLACK BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-25T21:58:00.000-08:00

WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY

GETTIN THE CAR TUNED UP

I USUALLY DONT HANG AROUND THERE WHILE THE CAR GETS FIXED

I GIVE THEM MY CEL NUMBER AND WALK AROUND

WELL

I WALKED AROUND

DID SOME ERRANDS

WOUND UP BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP

THEY HADNT FINISHED MY CAR

I DECIDED TO STICK AROUND

BUT RATHER THAN WAIT IN THE WAITING ROOM

WITH PEOPLE AND TV

I SAT OUTSIDE AND GOT SOME SUN

WROTE A BIT THEN LOOKED UP

SAW A MAN

HE WAS CLAD IN BLACK FROM HEAD TO TOE

BLACK COWBOY BOOTS BLACK JEANS

BLACK DRESS SHIRT BLACK SUNGLASSES

AND HIS HAIR

THERE WAS NOT MUCH LEFT OF IT

WHAT REMAINED HE HAD GROWN INTO THIN WISPY STRANDS

AND HAD DYED THEM BLACK

THROUGH THEM COULD BE SEEN

HIS PALE PINK SCALP

THE WISPY STRANDS FRAMED

A VERY OLD WRINKLED FACE

I PLACED HIM AT ABOUT SIXTY PLUS

HE WAS HUNCHED A BIT

WRINKLED

WALKED STIFFLY

BUT FOR THE MOST PART

WAS QUITE TRIM AND SPRY FOR HIS AGE

I DUG HIS INDIVIDUALITY HIS ECCENTRICITY

HIS FASHION SENSE

THAT HE HADNT GIVEN UP

HADNT SHAVED HIS HEAD

PUT ON A GOLF SHIRT AND SOME DOCKERS

AND CALLED IT A LIFE

BUT I HAD TO ADMIT

THAT THE PATHETIC QUOTIENT OF HIS APPEARANCE

WAS FAR TOO GREAT TO IGNORE

OUR GAZES LOCKED FOR A MOMENT

THEN BLACK CLAD 60

WAS OUT OF MY SIGHT AND IN THE DEALERSHIP

MY PHONE RANG

IT WAS THE SERVICE GUY

I NEEDED TWO NEW FRONT TIRES HE SAID

HE COULD HAVE THEM ON AND ALIGNED BEFORE CLOSING

HE TOLD ME THE PRICE

I CRINGED INSIDE THEN SAID OKAY

I DECIDED TO WAIT IN THE WAITING ROOM THIS TIME

I SAT SETTLED TOOK IN MY SURROUNDINGS

THERE WERE SOME BEAUTIFUL WOMEN THERE

NORMAL BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

WHO SPEND SATURDAYS DOING ERRANDS

LOOKING SO PRETTY BEING BORED IN WAITING ROOMS

I WONDERED WHAT THEIR JOBS WERE

AND TRIED TO DEDUCE BY APPEARANCE AND ACTION

WHETHER THEY WERE MARRIED OR SINGLE

COULDNT DEDUCE MUCH

THEY WERE ALL QUIET AND STILL WATCHING TV

THE RED CARPET PART OF A HOLLYWOOD AWARD CEREMONY WAS ON

THEN CAME IN JIMMY GOLD

JIMMY GOLD IS FAMOUS IN MY MIND

HE WORKS AT THE DEALERSHIP

HE CAME IN TO THE WAITING ROOM

TO TALK TO A CLIENT ABOUT A WARRANTY FOR HER TIRE

HE WAS CLAD IN BLACK FROM HEAD TO TOE

EXCEPT FOR HIS WHITE WORK SHIRT

HIS HAIR GREW THICKER THAN BLACK 60S

BUT JIMMYS HAIRLINE HAD RECEDED SIGNIFICANTLY

DESPITE THIS HIS HAIR WAS STILL ROCK STAR LONG

PULLED BACK INTO A PONYTAIL

HE WAS STILL HANGIN IN THERE WITH THE HAIR

BUT HE NEEDED A DYEJOB

NEARLY AN INCH OF HIS WHITE ROOTS WERE SHOWING

MATCHING THE ROOTS WAS THE WHITE STUBBLE ON HIS FACE

THE STUBBLE ON HIS JAW WAS NOT JUST LIGHTLY SALTED WITH WHITE

HIS ENTIRE BEARD WAS WHITE

I STARED AS HE ARGUED WITH AN ORNERY MUSLIM WOMAN

OVER A TIRE

I PLACED HIM AT ABOUT 50

BLACK 50

WHAT ARE YOU JIMMY GOLD

AFTER THE DAY JOB

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO BE

ROCK STAR ACTOR WRITER FILMMAKER

OR HAVE YOU GIVEN UP

AND ARE JUST THE DEALERSHIP GUY

WITH THE FUNNY NAME AND THE PONYTAIL

JIMMY AND HIS CLIENT EXITED THE WAITING ROOM

TO YELL AT EACH OTHER OUTSIDE

THE SARI WOMAN AND BLACK CLAD 50

I CLOSED MY NOTEBOOK

FEELING PECKISH I WALKED TO THE VENDING MACHINE

THROUGH THE GLASS

I SAW THE USUAL MASS PRODUCED CRAP

JUNK THAT SHOULDNT BE EATEN BUT TOSSED INTO THE GARBAGE

IN THE GLASS I SAW MY REFLECTION

THIS AFTERNOON

I SAW THE 60 YEAR OLD MAN IN BLACK

THE 50 YEAR OLD MAN IN BLACK

NOW IN THE GLASS

I SAW THE 40 YEAR OLD VERSION

HE WAS CLAD IN BLACK FROM HEAD TO TOE

T SHIRT WAS TOO TIGHT

HE WASNT DYING HIS HAIR YET

BUT DESPERATION MAY DRIVE HIM TO IT

CROWS FEET

YES

EYEBAGS

UH HUH

WHITE IN THE MUZZLE

MUCH OF IT

WHITE HAIRS PEEKED OUT OF THE COLLAR OF HIS TEE

OUT OF THE FRONT

AND THE BACK

EEYEW

HIS ARMS WERE OKAY

BUT HIS SAD OLD PAUNCH WAS BARELY IN CONTROL

IN HIS HAND HE HELD A NOTEBOOK

ASPIRING WRITER

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO BE

AFTER YOUR DAY JOB BLACK 40

AND WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE UP

BOY OH BOY

YOU PROBABLY HAVE A PATHETIC BLOG NO ONE IS READING

AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME YOURE A POET

ANYTHING BUT THAT

SKIP THE VENDING MACHINE FOOD BLACK 40

THOSE BLACK BANANA REPUBLIC SALES RACK PANTS

BARELY CONTAIN YOU

I LAUGHED TO MYSELF

SKIPPED THE VENDING MACHINE CRAP

AT THE CASHIERS I PAID TOO MUCH

THEN GOT IN MY CAR AND DROVE OFF

ILL BE BACK

SOONER THAN I KNOW IT

AFTER SOME TIME AND MILEAGE

ILL BE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP DRESSED IN BLACK

WRITTEN ON THE WAY TO THE DAYJOB

ALCOHOLIC WRITER PRAYS BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-23T01:19:00.000-08:00

ALCOHOLIC WRITER LOOKED AT HIS CLOCK RADIO

ITS DIGITAL NUMBERS GLOWED 300 AM

IT WAS WORRY THAT WOKE HIM

IT WOKE HIM OFTEN

HE TURNED

TRIED TO GET BACK TO SLEEP

BUT HIS MIND CHATTERED LIKE A COCAINE MONKEY

ABOUT ALL THE THINGS TO FEAR

ALL THE THINGS TO DO

HE OPENED HIS EYES

EVERYWHERE THEY LOOKED

THERE WAS A MESS OR MISTAKE TO FIX

THIS IS IT THOUGHT THE ALCOHOLIC WRITER

THE WORRY HAS ME AND WONT LET GO TILL DAWN

HE BLINKED

AND SAW AN IMAGE

HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND STARED AT IT

THE IMAGE WAS OLD WORN AND POSTCARD SIZED

IT DEPICTED IN WARM COLORS

A BED IN A CANDLELIT ROOM

KNEELING BESIDE THE BED WAS A CHILD

HEAD BOWED HANDS CLASPED

KID WAS PRAYING

WHERE HAD HE SEEN THE IMAGE

LONG AGO

ON SOME PRAYER CARD

WHAT WAS THE KID PRAYING FOR

HIMSELF

HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS

FOR A TOY

A PLAYSTATION

IT WAS EASY TO MOCK THE SAPPY IMAGE

FOR A MOMENT HIS MIND POINTED AND LAUGHED AT THE THING

THE LAUGHING DIED OFF

AND THE IMAGE REMAINED

WARM BEAUTIFUL AND COMFORTING

AT 3 AM THE AWAKE AND WORRIED ALCOHOLIC WRITER

ASKED WHY NOT

AND IN HIS MIND REACHED FORWARD

TO GRASP THE IMAGE ON THE PRAYER CARD

SUDDENLY

HE WAS IN THE CATHEDRAL OF HIS MIND

HE KNELT IN ITS SINGLE PEW

HE LIFTED HIS HEAD FROM HIS CLASPED HANDS AND LOOKED AROUND

IT WAS WARM AND DIM IN THE CATHEDRAL

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL EMPTY AND VAST

ITS BEAUTY WAS ITS EMPTINESS

NO IMAGES WERE HUNG UP TO INFILTRATE HIS EYES

NO SOUNDS SNUCK INTO HIS EARS

THERE WAS ONLY THE EMPTY VASTNESS

HE COULD NOT SEE AN ENTRANCE OR EXIT TO THE PLACE

NOR ITS BEGINNING OR END

NOT EVEN THE CEILING

ONLY HE EXISTED

WITHIN THE CATHEDRALS CLOUD GREY WALLS

THAT STRETCHED ON UNTIL THEY VANISHED INTO DARKNESS

HE WAS ALL KNELT AND HAND CLASPED

SO HE TAPPED INTO THE UNIVERSE THE WAY HE WAS TAUGHT

CATHOLIC STYLE

HE CALLED OUT TO GOD OR WHATEVER IT WAS

THAT WAS DEEP INSIDE ALL AROUND AND EVERYWHERE

UHHHH

THANKS FOR THE WORDS SAID THE ALCOHOLIC WRITER

THEY KEEP COMIN

I APPRECIATE IT

TRYIN TO WRITE EM ALL DOWN

I FEEL LIKE A BROKEN WATER MAIN

ALL THIS STUFF FLOWING OUT

BUT

IS IT GONNA DRY UP

AM I GONNA FIX MY BREAK SOMEHOW

STOP THE FLOW

WILL THE WORDS LEAVE ME

WITH NOTHING BUT BLANK PAGES BOOZE AND BITTERNESS

HIS FEAR WAS CONFESSED

IT FLOATED AWAY

DISAPPEARED INTO THE DARKNESS

HE FELT RELIEF

ENJOYED IT IN THE SILENCE

THEN HE HEARD A CALM VOICE

HIS VOICE

IT SAID

STUPID

THE ALCOHOLIC WRITER WAS ALL EARS

KEEP BEING STUPID SAID HIS VOICE

IF YOU REMAIN STUPID

NEVER A BLOCK WILL IMPEDE YOU

DARE TO BE STUPID

TO DO STUPID THINGS

TO WRITE ABOUT STUPID STUFF IN YOUR STUPID STYLE

DARE TO BE STUPID

TO STUMBLE AND TRIP

TO PRATFALL IN FRONT OF A CROWD

AND LAUGH WITH THEM

AT YOUR UNENDING FLOW OF STUPIDITY

DARE TO BE STUPID

BE PROUD OF BEING STUPID

BE STUPID WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TIME LEFT TO BE STUPID

JUST KEEP BEING STUPID

STUPID

AND NEVER A BLOCK WILL IMPEDE YOU

NOW GO TO SLEEP STUPID

THE VOICE WENT AWAY CATHEDRAL VANISHED

ALL THAT REMAINED WAS AN EMPTY BRAIN AND A WARM BED

THE ALCOHOLIC WRITER SUNK BACK INTO SLUMBER

SLEPT LONG AND DEEP

IN THE MORNING HE FELL OUT OF BED

STEPPED ON A CLUSTER OF LEGOS

AND RAN INTO A CABINET DOOR

HE TURNED ON THE TV AND HEARD NEWS

THAT NOT ONE NOT TWO BUT THREE WATER MAINS

HAD BUSTED OPEN ALL OVER TOWN

ALCOHOLIC WRITER ATE HIS BREAKFAST

AND JOTTED HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT

ADVENTURES OF THE SPECK 3 A SERIAL POEM BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-22T23:55:00.000-08:00

ADVENTURES OF THE SPECK 3

MY POWER

ME AGAIN

THE SPECKTATER

AKA THE SPECK

THE SHRINKING FREAK

NOW THAT YOU HAVE A VISUAL OF ME

SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION

LETS DISCUSS MY POWER

BEAR WITH ME

LIKE MOST OF MY LIFE

I HAVENT PUSHED MYSELF OR MY POWER TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL

HERES WHAT IVE DISCOVERED

AFTER 37 YEARS OF DABBLING

MY SHRINKING POWER LAWS

LAW 1

I CAN SHRINK MYSELF

LAW 2

I CAN SHRINK THINGS

LAW 3

I CAN SHRINK OTHERS

OKAY

SO LAW 1

IF I CAN SHRINK MYSELF

CAN I SHRINK MY WAIST

SO I FIT INTO SIZE 30 PANTS AGAIN

NAW

I HAVENT REALLY TRIED SHRINKING INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF MYSELF

THATS JUST BIOLOGICALLY WEIRD AND POSSIBLY UNHEALTHY

WHEN I SHRINK

MY ENTIRE PERSON SHRINKS

EVERY HAIR AND CELL

SO DO I WIND UP NAKED AND DOLL SIZED IN A PILE OF CLOTHES

BECAUSE LAW 2

I CAN SHRINK THINGS

WHEN I SHRINK

MY CLOTHES WALLET POCKETKNIFE BINOCULARS NOTEPAD

THEY ALL SHRINK WITH ME

CAN I SHRINK A 747 FULL OF PEOPLE

AND TOSS IT AROUND LIKE A PAPER AIRPLANE

THE LARGEST THING IVE SHRUNK SO FAR

HAS BEEN A MOTORCYCLE

THAT WASNT A PROBLEM

THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS

I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO RIDE THE THING

KEPT STALLING

IN A POLITICALLY CORRECT FIT

I TRIED TO SHRINK A HUMMER

I WAS A BIT DRUNK

I FAILED

JUST GOT A HEADACHE

BUT THE A HOLE DRIVER OF THE HUMMER

I COULD SHRINK HIM IN A HEARTBEAT

BECAUSE LAW 3

I CAN SHRINK OTHERS

AND IM PROUD TO STATE

NO SHRINKING TRAGEDIES HAVE OCCURRED YET

BUT IT DOES FREAK ME OUT WHEN I SHRINK OTHERS

ITS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IT

I NEVER WANT TO HURT ANYBODY WITH MY POWER

WHEN I SHRINK MYSELF BIG DEAL

ITS OBVIOUSLY JUST SOMETHING I CAN DO

AN ABILITY I WAS BORN WITH

BUT WHEN I SHRINK OTHERS

I TRY TO BE AS CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE

LIKE THE DUDE ON STAR TREK WHO OPERATES THE TRANSPORTER

ONE WRONG MOVE

AND HE CAN SCATTER THE ATOMS OF HIS TRANSPORTEES

ALL OVER THE GALAXY

I NEVER WANT SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON MY CONSCIENCE

COULDNT BEAR IT

SO IM VERY CAREFUL WHEN SHRINKING OTHERS

SO HOW DO I DO IT

HOW DOES THE SPECK SHRINK

I DONT KNOW

I JUST DO IT

LIKE WALKING BENDING MY ARM CLENCHING MY FIST BLINKING MY EYES

I JUST DO IT

HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO IT

IF I THOUGHT ABOUT IT

I PROBABLY WOULDNT BE ABLE TO DO IT

WHEN DID I START SHRINKING

WHEN DID THE ABILITY FIRST MANIFEST

WHEN I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLE

TO EMPATHIZE

SO ITS ALWAYS BEEN THERE

DEVELOPING WITH ALL MY OTHER SKILLS

I FIRST SHRUNK FOR MY FAMILY

WHEN I WAS 2 OR 3

I REMEMBER MY MOTHER COMMUNICATING TO ME SOMEHOW OR OTHER

THAT I WAS GROWING TOO FAST

I WASNT HER LITTLE BABY ANYMORE

SO I SHRUNK

MY LITTLE BODY WAS GROWING

BUT I CONCEALED THIS GROWTH BY SHRINKING

IN HER ARMS

I WOULD SHRINK A BIT MORE

AND SHE WOULD ENJOY THE SENSATION OF HOLDING ME

SMALL AND INFANT LIKE AGAIN

MY STUNTED GROWTH HOWEVER ALARMED MY STEPFATHER

HE WAS QUITE WORRIED ABOUT ME

I GAVE MY MOTHER A FEW MORE MONTHS OF MY INFANT SIZE

THEN I GRANTED MY STEPFATHER RELIEF

BY ONE NIGHT EXPANDING TO MY TRUE SIZE

HE STILL TELLS THE STORY

OF HOW I SHOT UP FOUR INCHES AND GAINED TEN POUNDS OVERNIGHT

HE WAS OVERJOYED BY THIS

HIS JOY PLEASED MY MOTHER

WHO WAS BECOMING ALARMED BY HIS ALARM AT MY SMALLNESS

IT WAS THEN THAT I DECIDED

TO KEEP MY SHRINKING POWER A SECRET

I DID NOT KEEP IT A SECRET FROM MY SISTER

SIBLINGS CAN PROTECT THEIR PARENTS BY KEEPING TRUTHS SECRET

BUT SIBLINGS DO NOT KEEP SECRETS FROM EACH OTHER

WE ARE IN THE TRENCHES TOGETHER

WE ARE GROWING FIGHTING AND UNSETTLED TOGETHER

WE LOOK IN EACH OTHERS EYES AND KNOW THE TRUTH

WHILE POOR TIRED ADULTS ARE ALL TOO EAGER

TO BELIEVE CONVENIENT LIES

I NEVER KEPT MY SHRINKING POWER SECRET FROM MY SISTER

I COULDNT HAVE

FROM THE MOMENT SHE WAS BORN

I WOULD SHRINK TO HER SIZE AND PLAY WITH HER

I WOULD SHRINK EVEN FURTHER TO PLAY FOR HER

THERE ID BE

UP ON HER HIGHCHAIR FEEDING TRAY

JUMPING AND TUMBLING AROUND

A LIVING DOLL

AS TALL AS HER CUP

BRANDISHING A SPEAR SIZED SPOON

HER BIG BROTHER SHRUNKEN AND TINY ON HER TRAY

GOOFING AROUND FOR HER AMUSEMENT

SHES ALL GROWN UP NOW

SHE COLLECTS SMURFS

ALL THESE PLASTIC SMURFS

SMALL AND DRESSED IN DIFFERENT OUTFITS

ENGAGED IN DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES

SHE A BIT OBSESSIVE ABOUT THEM

KEEPS THEM CLEAN AND ORDERLY IN A GLASS CASE

DID I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT

OR DID SHE JUST LOVE THE CARTOON

ONCE AGAIN BY HAFJAK DIVIZ

2010-01-20T06:40:00.000-08:00

ONCE AGAIN

I FIND MYSELF DOWN ON ONE KNEE BEFORE HER

AS I WAS WHEN I PROPOSED

NEARLY FOURTEEN YEARS AGO

IN FRONT OF LULUS ALIBI

A CAFE ON SANTA MONICA AND SAWTELLE

LULUS IS GONE NOW

WERE STILL HERE

WERE IN OUR ROOM

THE ROOM IS WARM YELLOW WALLS

DARK BROWN FURNITURE

A BUMBLE BEE THEME

BORN OF MY MOTHERS NICKNAME FOR HER

SUEBEE

SHE SITS ON THE BED

IN FRONT OF HER LAPTOP

OUR BABY LAYS IN HER LAP

OUR SONS PLAY

ONE QUIET ONE SHOUTING

ONCE AGAIN

ANOTHER DAY HAS TAUGHT ME

HOW THANKFUL I MUST BE FOR HER

I ABSORB THE SIGHT AND SOUND OF HER

THEY ARE LIKE A DRUG TO ME

THE CASUAL BEAUTY OF HER UNTIED HAIR

PAJAMAS AND BARE FEET

HER EASY BEAMING SMILE

AND HOW CAN IT BE

BUT MORE GOOD NEWS FROM HER LIPS

IT SILENCES MY CHATTERING BRAIN

MELTS THE TENSION IN MY MUSCLES

ONCE AGAIN

ON MY KNEE

I THANK HER

THANK GOD

THANK IT ALL

THANK EVERY TWIST AND TURN OF FATE

THAT BROUGHT HER TO ME

SHE STOPS ME

THERE IS A REVERSAL

THEN SHE IS THANKING ME

AT FIRST IT SOUNDS

LIKE SOME GIBBERED FOREIGN LANGUAGE

THEN I ACCEPT IT

AND FILL UP

FILL TILL BURSTING FULL OF STRENGTH

AND IM READY TO

ONCE AGAIN

SERVE HER ANOTHER DAY

I GET UP OFF MY KNEE

GO TO THE FRIDGE

AND NUKE US SOME BURRITOS

ANOTHER SMALL MOMENT

MADE LUSCIOUS AND ETERNAL

THE ILLNESS I PREFER

IS NOT A GOOEY COLD

BUT A BLAZING HALLUCINATION INDUCING FEVER

OH YEAH

YOU EVER SEE THAT MOVIE ALTERED STATES

DUDE GOES TO A JUNGLE IN SOUTH AMERICA

TO INGEST A DRUG

AND HAVE A REVELATORY EXPERIENCE

THATS QUITE AN ADVENTURE

ONE ID LIKE TO TAKE SOMEDAY

FOR NOW

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PICK UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL

GIVE EM A HUG

REEL AS THEY SNEEZE DIRECTLY INTO MY FACE

AND REVELATORY EXPERIENCE

HERE I COME

I SAW A TV SHOW ONCE CALLED GOING TRIBAL

THE HOST VISITS PRIMITIVE TRIBES ROUND THE WORLD

LEARNS THEIR WAYS

IN ONE EPISODE

HE VISITED A REMOTE AFRICAN VILLAGE

TO PARTAKE IN A LEGENDARY DRUG EXPERIENCE

IN A HUT

WITH THE VILLAGE SHAMAN

THE HOST DRANK AN ELIXIR

PUKED IT UP

ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND

HE WOULD HAVE VISIONS

OF EVERYTHING HE HAD EVER DONE WRONG

OF EVERYONE HE HAD DONE WRONG TO

HE WOULD EXPERIENCE

A WRINGING OF THE CONSCIENCE

A CONFESSION OF CRIMES

A CONFRONTATION WITH HIS ESSENCE

AFTER 3 DAYS OF THIS

IF HE SURVIVED

HE WOULD EMERGE FROM THE HUT

WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO BE A BETTER PERSON

OF HOW TO BETTER SERVE HIS WORLD AND THE PEOPLE IN IT

THIS IS WHAT A FIERY FEVER IS LIKE FOR ME

LIKE A BEAUTIFUL BURNING TRIBAL RITE

LIKE A HENDRIX JIM MORRISON PEYOTE HEADTRIP

FOR FREE

ALL YEAR LONG IM RUNNING

RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING

THEN A FEVER INFECTS ME

BLAZES THROUGH MY VEINS

KNOCKS ME DOWN

FLAT ON THE FLOOR

UP ON THE CEILING

PLAYS MOVIES OF EVERYTHING

IVE BEEN RUNNING FROM

RUNNING TO

RUNNING FOR

THE MOVIES SHOW ME THE DAMAGE IVE DONE

SHOW ME THE PATTERNS OF MY DESTRUCTIVE HABITS

LEVEL MY SKEWED PERCEPTIONS

CORRECT MY MISTAKEN IDENTIFICATIONS

WHEN THE FEVER REACHES ITS HIGHEST

I KNOW I GOTTA WATCH IT

THROW MYSELF INTO A TUB OF WATER

SNUFF THE FEVER

THEN THERE IS REST

A MORNING COMES

IM OFF AND RUNNING AGAIN

THE FEVER IS GONE

THE FEVER MOVIES REMAIN

THE KNOWLEDGE IS MINE

OF HOW TO BETTER SERVE MY WORLD AND PEOPLE

BUT I KNOW A LOT OF THINGS

MAYBE TOO MANY THINGS

AS I RUN

I BUMP INTO KNOCK OVER STEP ON SPILL OUT TURN OVER

AND MAKE MORE MOVIES FOR THE NEXT FEVER TO RUN
