![]() Ghost TruckA Poem by Brett HernanYou know that you are living in a haunted house when you cannot find a single pair of all of the scissors And you are alone.
As you enter a doorway, upon recollection of this thought, just read before, as though it is essentially... your own thought. As the realisation appears, Invisibly, from the corner of your eye. Around that corner. That no-one ever goes. Round, around. Around, something goes! Leaps upon your shoulders, from behind, as you open the bathroom door and the ghost reaches around your throat, in equal proportion to a widening size, one as to be the same as that of
the door way you're widening. It opens only a crack, then the spooky is thrown off. Again, and as always. Having learned the Art, at 15, of crashing cars in such a manner that every passenger was killed, bar himself. The first flat he moved into was haunted, and if it wasn't, it certainly should be by now. So you see? 'Off-Ghost' Never, without it. And then later, you find all of the pairs of scissors.
All of those trucks carrying their heavy loads to all of those
various destinations throughout every part of the land, to be taken
to distributors and warehouses and welding shops and loading bays of
supermarkets, throughout the entire length and breadth of this entire nation institution in its entirety! And it goes on all around the Earth, (to a greater or lesser extent, in
various places) Those trucks... Each day, taking, to the families... the distribution weight as opposed to the tire pressure... in each of those 63 wheeled big metal monster vehicles made to do the job that once, men did with the aid of leather bridled trained creatures, huge in size, known as Dragons and Behemoth, (until The Dinosaurs tried to take their places. Guess! That's what killed 'em all off, after all!... They are vehicles. If the entire wight was... the standard 7.5 tonne, inside all of their <[(insert houses/homes here)]> Variously differing interiors of which I had had want to see the inside of only one... but of a single one. Those trucks... Each day, taking, to the families throughout this
nation, inside all of their <[(insert houses/homes here)]> variously differing interiors of which I
had I had Had. I had want to see the inside of just one... of but just that single one! Alone... Alone. The water on the 36 wheelers carry two maximally loaded steel
reinforced shipping containers and are allowed to travel down the
slip road at night, when the witches have greased their broomstick
handles with a poultice of mashed leaves of some unknown weird type
of weed that they refer to as an 'herb'. Of course it would have to become inevitable that some smart 8 year old kid hacker one day figured out how exactly it was possible to steal all the money. I mean the complete lot of it. Every last bit, So really there is no more, because, he's got it all. And he does it! What's he prepared to do? Give them back half? That really was the deal. That always was. The Deal. They make a mashed poultice from out of enough of this stuff. Then, after undressing (If they were ever dressed, as such.)
They, and a friend, (usually special), coat one another with this concoction. Except, for a single strip along their spine, which allows their central nervous system to remain functioning, since leaving it, the skin, clean, clear and bare, it allows their skin to breath, a thin clear line the length of their spine, from neck's nape, hair pinned up, folded curly, golden hair nape to twisted up tailbone, bare and clear, so their spinal cord could have a little action that night....
An ant crawls up my neck. Then up my hand. You’ll never know, now. The witches are adept at sitting quite still whilst flying their broom-sticks. This actual witch's potion, which both, (or more of
them), all with their hands, are mashing it upon one another, until,
completely covered, from head to foot, completely. This sludgy green
oozing goop, slathered pond scum (which it had to be) except for a single strip along their spine which allows
their central nervous system to remain functioning, as it allows their
skin to breath, a thin clear line the length of their spine, and from
neck's hair pinned up, folded nape to twisted up tailbone, bare and
clear, so their spinal cord could have a little action too, that night.... An ant crawls up my neck. Then up my hand. You’ll never know, now.
"11.59 P.M. Ladies and Gentle-Men! This, is your Captain Speaking: One minute to midnight. Please, fasten your seat-belts. Thank-you. Today. For coming aboard our luxury 'Sky-mover!' and for flying. With, Fyre-Byrd Airlines! Now, with New! 40% Missile Deflecting

You know what we always say: “Around the World! Around the Bend! Fyre-Byrd!" *NOW WITH NEW NON RADAR DETECT- NEW NON RADAR DETECT* An ant crawls up the side of my neck. Then up my outstretched thin white arm. You’ll never know, now. Radars have yet to pick up. These witches on their broomsticks covered in a greasy/ waxy substance, the distilled core essences of the ultra weird comic book 'strange herb' Officially: 'A green, greasen/waxen goop.' Were it to get inside Their mouths..! Wine tree leaf sap Which, being afforded each witch consumption through their skin caused them not to be poisoned as they should, most certainly be, through even tiniest filament particles. Were it to drop ... and And, I'm never. 'No, thank-you.' 'I am never going into every living room. In all of all of those houses.' "So, wha..?" This causes the witches to be able to actually fly. (Keep it quiet!) (Oldest one in the book..!) "No. Thank-you." © 2017 Brett Hernan |
