How It Went Down

A man walks into Gaddafi’s with a cactus on his head. This sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it’s not. We called him Gaddafi, but his name was Domingo. We called him Gaddafi because he looked like Gaddafi. The cactus wanted three-for-ten. When you take shorts, you can only take as much as been took, but when you’re taken, then you need to start thinking about what they’re calling theirs & what you’re calling yours. The car that suddenly pulls up is more delivery than package. More end stop than ellipsis. The Dreads sit there & perch there & chill there & lamp there & chill there & rest there, still there, word, they don’t move. Nestor let the Dreads know that nothing was happening, even though he just opened up. Petey says, I heard those cactuses never die. They say that getting shot is a scene study where all your reward circuits go blank. You only remember the blast, the smoke after the blast, the nanosecond after the smoke, and then you remember the cactus, untouched, sitting on the stoop, still, there.
