CEE

    Erhard, if puffy shirt of ego, was nonetheless right. est, is right. So, “get” this, nonfriends: You are automata. Arcade bipeds. Badly programmed replicants. Not “ants”, not that, no, no. Human-fucking-beings, Sarge. That humans choose to live like ants and think little more highly, is a very, very thin distinction...but, you’re not a bug. That’s about the nicest compliment I can grant.
    My initial chapbook (pub. 2010), was an upbraid of the Recovery Movement and its lousy Lifetime Batting Average. In the Intro, I denoted “A.A.”, as the first letter of the “childish alphabet”, of Human. The chap was accepted, #ZOOM!!# to download, #BAM!!# to print, so thought to follow up the thinking—a series of 26 chapbooks, each a commentary on Human, as we trolled its alphabet, a letter at a time.
    Well, the best laid plans. You know. But, as I’m very sick these days, and more and more, nonfriends, our time begins short, so wanted you to see—with snippets of framed reference—The Human Alphabet, in its entirety. I’ve been a spoiled kid, a teacher’s pet, yes, and as published poet as well...but, if I’d been allowed, Pu Yi, to dictate as Emperor, from the jump? Here:

    A.A. (refer to my breakout work, 12 times 12 equals Gross)
    To be (from a retired, cannibalized mms, Lock, Stock and Hume-Animal)
    “See?”
    Dee-Dee-deedee, Dee-deedeedeedee, bee-um-bumble-lay (which, is how the damned thing sounds to me; early 70’s music, sucks)
    “EEEEEEE!!!” (as an expression of youthful glee)
    The ‘F’-Word
    “Gee.” (signifying disillusionment)
    “H...!”, as in “aches” (pains, etc.)
    I (that’s a gimme; my favorite human letter)
    J, as the obligatory, drudge part of BJ, HJ, etc.
    Mary Kay
    “’L”, as a place of torment we (and the British) go to, Forever
    Auntie Em
    N, as...well...you’re an intelligent person. I’m sure you understand me...
    “Oh!”
    Urination
    Q(uestioning) (or not, as the case might be)
    Are
    Waffen SS
    the 9 Billion nuances of “Tea”
    You (also pronounced, “Other”; my least favorite letter)
    Vagina
    George Walker Bush (and there’s a joke, here, but I will not go for it)
    X, as in “ended, over, past, sundered, eclipsed, dead, gone”
    “Why?!”
    Sleep and its winks, as salvation (escapism)
    I never got to write but the first two, but, I wanted you to have the letters on hand, a Peter Bagge-”Vomit Glossary” of your very own. You’ll find at least that much of this missive indispensible, letter-concepts to supplement the numbers you increasingly live by, communicate with, which make up that “ordered” nonSelf of the Matrix...numbers which, if I’ve figured this much out, will be All Understood Reality en toto, when you close eyes some near minute and the tax man, thumbs-up posts, and popes and Maher and Miller, fade away....
