A Bukowski Christmas

mom groans

she's on her new 800 dollar chair
it has a remote that controls it
up or down
footrest up or
down

it goes rrrrr
as it lifts

rrrrrr
it goes down

rrrr

"stupid thing," mom says
it lifts her up, then drops her
down

"mom," i say, "just press the button, the button there...?"

"it's not working!" mom blinks angrily at the lit up remote
turns it around
presses buttons

rrrrrr

"mom, just..."

rrrrrr

"do you want me to do it?" i reach for the remote

rrrrrrr

"mom! just... you have it upside down..."

"oh, I hate this thing..."

rrrrrrrr

rrrrrrr

rr

"okay, that's good" mom smiles
slightly

jesus 

we're going to have
a good xmas

i guess

mom's been saying "i guess" a lot

as in, thanks for coming over
i guess

a few days ago i saw her naked ass through the opening in her hospital gown and i was very
scared
i walked to the other side of the room shivering as the p.t. guy helped her
so i wouldn't have to see her
ass

now she's recovering back at home

we're going to try to have
a good xmas

just the two of us

"oh no!"

she has dropped a dilaudid
tiny pill on the stained carpet
she says those are
"like gold"
(jesus how many times have i heard that phrase 1000000? fuck)
yet i laugh

she holds her knee
grimaces
we talk about her asian surgeon
(asians are the best)
he's a good man
goes down to gaucamole
to help children
and gets a side of chips presumably

we're going to try super hard to have
a good xmas

just mom and me
but mom's ordered lots of feast food
the best being special food from
qvc
sign of quality


but i already have plans for xmas

i'll go home
after bobby chez cakes of crab
and make my own xmas
dammit

with some gin
hookers
cock ring

thank you jesus

rrr
