The dowager, "No," stifling a petulant tear.
He
wants me to be happy, presumably Samsung and ATT do too, finding some intrinsic
relevance to tackle my pain in a phone of which I grasp about a tenth of its
function, and rather than dwell on my inability to be at my ease with my own
self-worth, I put Mainline Medical’s tilt chair on full speed and smashed into
the plaster paris covering the wall in the hallway, the therapist throwing a
wobbly, and my attendant of too much gargantuan heart blaming the dictator, as
we call the therapist. The man, as a sexual distraction, is over for me, and
has reverted to just being an asshole in the black male category, the favorite
denigration of powers that be in Los Angeles, if Bosch is any indicator, so I’m
still basically libertarian by instinct, if nothing else, as the jaws of life
wait to disarticulate my rotary cuff, tendons and fat leaking bloodily from my
shoulder. This has taken me six weeks to realize there isn’t a male on the face
of the earth whom I’d desire openly who’d in turn want me, but can I fucking
work anyway? No, unless I start from scratch, all over again, and you’ve heard
this all before but I get angry anyway because he refuses to let me say it’s
over or it isn’t because his cure for my depression is contact with him, after
a now muted and petty fashion, and this will go on every fucking day, our shit
in each other’s noses, contingent on his lousy eating habits and my impaction.
The chair keeps me a foot off the ground, if not more. I’ve already written my
death warrant, despite cousin Pam’s consolation. I’ve utilized her for solace,
and she doesn’t understand his tambourine jiggles anymore than I do, up one day
and down the next, and oh yes, he cares, no doubt of that, with my five
wheelchairs in this fuck-ass studio, on a roll here, aren’t I? He cares about
the thousand dollar Samsung, the wheelchair, but making love? The flavor of
this turgid Monday: that’s too easy.
I already told him, after that memorable April 15th, that I’d hate
myself for winding up a nigger’s lover, more recently sent him my diary page telling
him to go fuck himself, nothing sticks, nothing makes him reorient, and yes, if
he yields and I knead my knees into him and pull him down, he’s going in, and
that, conversely doesn’t make any sense to me as the slatterly lass shooting up
flares with him every afternoon, with his untutored but overzealous dedication
to my welfare. I’d be grateful for it if I could work, if I had a reason to
live beyond the fact that he grasps my shins, slides me down the deplorable
mattress, slides my buttocks on the cushion, sits me up, then spins my legs, after
I wash my pubic hair. We’re a literal horse and buggy. Oh, the disabled
community would wave me back in, hello there, what did you expect? Not that I
would let myself be so far subsumed, that hole I blasted in the hallway as much
an omen as accidental. I don’t call this living. Would any of you?
