Soma, Chapter 4

I die.

Soma, Chapter 4: Things.

Bullet: Goes through my skin, right on the part where pop kissed me when I was four, a Desert Eagle .44, parting the Red Sea with chunks.

Skull: I feel two Desert Eagles on my head.

Air: Vibrating, interpreted as, I don't know, but it was two to the head bad. A voice in the vernacular.

Air: Vibrating, interpreted as, What'd I do? I ask, knowing. My voice, recognizable.

Hair: Dreadlocks, trying to wipe the tequila, blood, and oil off his head, like a woman, like the woman in the Bible, hoping that begging stops him. So thick it's not liquid. Or was that Jesus? Did Jesus wipe his hair, like a man, or was it the woman? Is that filthy concoction my perfume to this man?

Palm Tree: Explodes, a pyrrhic victory.

Air: Vibrating from fire, rocket launchers, bullets. A Macbeth quote comes into my mind, "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Rims: Shot off by two .44 Desert Eagle bullets travelling very fast.

Nokiapple Cell Phone: Powering down, transmits: Goodbye, honey. I love you. My wife's voice, air, vibrating, converted into digital waves. I don't think about what this means until later.

Virgin Verizon Cell Phone: Powering down, transmits: Goodbye, honey. I love you. My voice, air, quivering, converted into digital waves.

Virgin Verizon Cell Phone: Powers up, transmits: Conversation, mostly entailing how much I love my wife, and how I'll be back soon, hoping I can see her before it's all over. I'll spare you the details.

Prayer: I pray to God that I may see my wife before it's all over.

My Voice: Air vibrates, insufficient for anyone else to hear, even my bodyguards. I interpret it as, "I love you. I love."

    Feedster Spin Spam Blog Strategy, Miss Point Entirely
    Now, young Scott Johnson over at Feedster has managed to get himself a spot over on MediaPost where he's talking about the problem of spam blogs or "splogs", if you're a complete wanker.
