A Pocket Full of Poison
This is just a small addendum to the madness I’ve been describing around the tainting of my food. Someone was putting crap in my curry and it wasn’t me. It was a toxic shooter to the already deadly carpet fumes and anthrax that I had been cursed with earlier in the year.
My enemies were in my face on my spoon.
The evil rose like mercury in a thermometer in the ass of a turkey in the oven.
These food fights are annoying enough. There was never any peace. The unknown nasty crackers who were doing this to me were with me twenty four hours a day. Every time I took a drink out of the bottle they pissed on me.
My fiancée looked at me with pity. She shook her head.
She survived the Mexico City bombing (as she said) or earthquake in the 1970s. People were eating hubcaps off of smashed automobiles during that crisis.
“I’ve had worse” she said. And you know she had.
It’s such a basic thing, the trip to the refrigerator to find something to eat.
When it is messed with it completely changes your world. Your shopping habits and your sense of safety get scrambled up like duck eggs.
It is a basic and insidious form of intimidation.
Your jelly isn’t safe in its jar.
It teaches you that your castles are made of Play Dough.
You live in a condo with walls as thin as Japanese paper. Everyone has a key. Or a match.
· You begin to hate leaving home and become isolated.
· When you do go shopping you buy only what you need.
· You pack up the basic vulnerable items and take them with you. With tremendous malaise you leave the pickle in the jar and the R.C. in the can.
· You are more aware of tastes, sensation and smell in the things you leave behind.
· You have a heightened awareness of both evil in the world and the fragileness of human existence. Every bite bites you back.
· You learn in the most basic of ways to watch your back and cover your ass.
· You start buying lemons and lemon juice because they can detoxify most poisons. You have to look at the skins for needle marks of course if I read my spy novels correctly. They could be vaccinated with Chernobyl Vodka. I had just about enough of vaccines, too.
I suppose some of those changes are positive.
You end up appreciating things more.
I look at the above list and think to myself; “Hey, for the most part this is a better way to live, except for the flashbacks, fear and hyper-vigilance.”
Freedom, as the band the Who sang, “Tastes of reality.”
The freedoms I’ve know usually tastes like they belongs there. In this case, freedom tasted like roasted poop on a stick with a hound dog glaze.
I thought of the book “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss.
I do not like this. Sam I am.
You also have to be aware of tainted health and beauty products, particularly those products that deal with the eyes, mouth and lungs. There are many things that can be squeezed into your toothpaste and dumped in your mouth wash.
This all may sound paranoid to the extreme to you, but in 1998 I was just beginning to learn about the cloud I lived my life in. The safety I had created had the quality of a daydream. The rules I lived by were as arbitrary as the trade winds in late summer and so were the institutions I depended on for justice, safety and ethical reinforcement.
I could get hurt.
That was some kind of news for a mother’s son.
It was a grand pain in the ass.
