I seriously need a government grant to waste Time and Space






When I was a child who wandered in the shadows of burnt out buildings in The South Bronx, I wanted to be The Doctor, last of the Time Lords, thanks to a ‘cultural wasteland’ called Television, home to Death Valley Days starring a cowboy who rode into our wasteland of a town in his real life role as President of The United States of America.

 

Just say no, urged The First Lady on TV, my first drug of choice.

 

I tuned in, dropped out and went where no man one has ever…

A Long Time Ago in comic book land


Rumbling Path train made superior the symphony of rain over The South Bronx and cat sheltered under brick archway on hilly street of autumn brownstones and futuristic architecture looming in horizon of yet another Renaissance where spirits blend like vivid Northern Lights into the better aliens of human imagination.

 

Homesickness has moved into the past and what do I write on in this Wonder Land?

 

Whatever, the cat said by brushing alongside my legs.

 

Whatever, I replied by scratching the cat’s head.

 

Whatever forever quickly I write on the day.

 

No proxy for Mouse on PC that freezes up.

 

Frozen thoughts indeed on Word98.

 

Still work wild ideas on it in 2014.

 

Got God Particle?

 White middle-classers grunted black talk to make me feel at home at NYU.


 

Talk to me in English, said half-breed Hispanic without expression.

 

“Dude, can you score us some blow,” asked one student, a worshiper of a Saturday Night Live comedian dead so many years from drug abuse/overdose  

 

Why me, I asked just to make sure my homework assignment to create a tour book for my town was really, really difficult. “You’re from The South Bronx,” said Moose from Archie Comic Books come to real life of surreal horror, Hitchcock style. Smells like teen stupidity was fed to him and it was zombie children’s’ portions of brains.

 

Duh.

 

I spent time enough in the prison of poverty and they want me to violate parole.

 

Stay out of trouble, warned law enforcer who brought my belongings to dorm.

 

Trouble comes to some, me double and in threes by 60 Minutes. Tick, tick…

 

If I had nurturing parents in the suburbs like Bill Gates, I wouldn’t have to deal with hunger for higher education in the city of illegal guns and roses.

 

To become one bright spirit of The Silicon was my American dream in childhood. Like the kid in a Star Trek Episode, I wanted A Piece Of The Action. I wanted to jump over white picket fence with Lassie greeting me with joyful barking. Mom! Dad! I’ve been accepted to MIT!!! Full scholarship!!! USA! USA! USA! Land of Opportunity!

 

 “Dude, get us Coke! We got money! We’ll pay you,” they pleaded pleased to meet me. I wanted to shout out EXPLETIVE DELETED like a president in private at stubborn members of both parties but instead I politely just said no to drugs.

 

I have homework to do late into the evening. Have to burn midnight oil of creativity.

 

And assignments to secure future keep coming to no end…

 

Wang Dong is on The FBI’s most wanted list for cyber theft of intellectual property.

 

The way to get Wang Dong tonight is by using a cyber snake stick with a little cyber noose. Once roped, drag Wang Dong into his backdoor and watch his surprise.

 

It sounds dirty but that’s exactly what they do in Cyber Black Ops: dirty fighting.

 

This isn’t your Granddaddy’s Man From U.N.C.L.E

 

This is a real life upgrade of It Takes A Thief. Imagine my surprise when I got caught. Now cyber cops want me to steal intelligence from real nasty bad guys. I nearly cried.

 

I haven’t felt this proud to be American since I was a kid.

 

God blessed the USA all right by me.

 

And no laugh track need apply.
