The Exterminator


James Croal Jackson

Nicole walked out of Aladdin’s yesterday
which is why The Exterminator is working


12-8. He claims to have trained himself
to have a perfect, photographic memory.


He has Kool-Aid hair and anime eyes.
After the shift a group of us and


The Exterminator go to Brubaker’s
for drinks and we smoke in his car.


He is no different outside of work.
Constant buzzing, endless movement,


dead wings everywhere. He says
he learned his dancing from night


walks at 3 AM, and we all picture
his headphones in the darkness,


sudden hand movements, a quiet flying
his neighbors would never notice.
