MY CANIS FAMILIARIS BEING

This upcoming May (two thousand and nine - date I wrote hodgepodge of these words) marks the fourth anniversary whence this canine succumbed to the jawboning gimlet eyed grim reaper, where said queen of the “man’s and woman’s best friend” lies in a state of eternal bliss!

Let me interrupt the tail to incorporate an ode (which pee on), she would find flattering.

REMEMBRANCE of HARRIET HARRIS –

VERSE ONE:

Christened as averred one Harriet Kuritsky

on November 13th nineteen thirty five

The youngest of four with only one brother

Whose exit from this world from a terminal illness she did not survive.

The following emotions communicating heartfelt grief

Practically vanquished as like my existence turned a new leaf.

A recurring abysmal grief stricken state

Still consumes my entire being of late

These perpetual tears of sadness seem not to a-bate

Since the grim reaper brandished scythe

Signature sign of a deadlocked fate!

Twas about 11:00 a.m. 2005 that fifth of May

That our dearly beloved mother

Fought tooth and nail to keep death at bay

(As recounted by eldest and youngest sisters,

who elected to remain on vigil that day)

Nonetheless rigor mortis upper hand

Brought a (supposed) painless and swift death

To her diseased and emaciated riddled body gone lifeless and ashen gray.

This only heir still misses his mom more than plaintive words can spell

With his agonizingly pained heart and soul

that rents asunder this psyche pell-mell

No amount of weeping can quiet and quell.

Cathartic for me to give you a posthumous ode

Conveyed in an easy to read poetic code

To help accept finality and permanent loss,

now only retrievable from nostalgic memories

Identified as that childhood home and favorite abode.

VERSE TWO:

Her cremated ashes still remain sealed in the same nondescript box

White, powdery and chalk like material

Devoid of any vestigial semblance to her once living and vibrant self

That unique persona pulverized and vaporized

(Housed former svelte and tall Arthur Murray ball-room dance teacher

A half-century plus prior to demise

Which beauty, charm and grace quickly caught the attention of my father

Who courted and eventually proposed to this young flirt and tease of a gal)

Inert organic matter now represents sole residual embodiment

Reduced to dust and near nothingness

Former corporeal being of blood, bone and flesh

Weighing no more than a dozen hatch marks on the scale

Absence still bears down heavy like some millstone round the neck

Per the black hole void created by defeat with Grim Reaper

Toward this woman who helped birth and nurse me into manhood

Momma’s only grown son still feels ripples of grievous sadness

No matter the years of suppressed anger and rage

In addition to emotional conflicts between us

Which invariably wrought unpleasant relationship

and a legacy of discord writ large across the tapestry of my life.

Force fields from this lithe Brooklyn native shone bright (Whose pronunciation a dead ringer giveaway to any amateur and junior linguist) Lives in the guise of aural spectra

Especially within the hallowed sanctity of Glen Elm domicile And continues to emit indomitable and unfading rays of pure energy and light. Now, even nearly seven plus human years after her passing from the temporal plain, no other dog approached being held

with as much esteem in the pet a file domain. Upon the yearly anniversary whence persona and dogma left me mama, the United States Beagle Corps play Rover Lee (reveille for the novitiate) tapped out with salty dog rag like schmaltz. Oh, she retrieved golden globe trotting awards while touring with Gladys Knight and the Pups. No doubt (especially some of you stray alley cats and junkyard dogs) beg and drool to differ at such holier than thou Canis Major hoopla. Please feel free to offer this, that or the other bone to pick.

This (ahem) boxer of sorts feels ready to duke out any pugnacious mutt. Specialists (such as the reputable Morris the cat) scooped, scoured and sniffed out the figurative poop deck to accumulate a veritable truckload of faded yet indisputable circumstantial paw prints.

Testimonials left a clear cut territorially marked trail (to whit and far as this nose can smell), that countless canine studs boarded the greyhound gravy train to make the trek for the express purpose to become the lucky underdog and sire offspring. The progeny borne forth from such an invaluable “bitch in heat” would be deemed more precious and valuable than the most rare gem or jewel east of Eden or this side of paradise.

Before the advent of insemination and subsequent birth of one or more puppies, the biological frenzied phenomena triggered auctioned bids to be placed on this longest domesticated animal. News of impregnation spread like wildfire. As the impending due date loomed ever closer, an immediate hushed lull descended upon the crowded air of the barely visible esplanade. Harriet (from the months of earlier precocious poetics and guided laser precision of mechanical engineer and soon to be proud papa Boyce) made whimpering sounds in quick succession with the approach of Labrador day. Complete dilation and miraculous genesis would be very close at paw. Although a true-blooded (yet not necessarily young whipper snapper) trooper, Harriet possessed an amazing tooth and claw tensile strength. No matter the presence of that bite the post person in the calf esprit de corps, a growling rumor circulated that mine mutter denigrated as some lady and the tramp.

When biology in tandem with Mother Nature decreed, she aggressively bore down with ear splitting yelps and wails. The spasmodic painful contractions forced an impulse to chump down on the figurative bullet, and any helping hands that might find themselves in the zone whence teeth did snap shut like a vice. An ordinarily gentle and playful creature (who liked to keep a long leash on life), Harriet licked one adversity after another, yet that indomitable will power inevitably got clamped tight from the invisible steel trap of death.

Before reduced to this grim forecast, the life force within yielded progeny to carry the gene pool and lineage. Whenever her facial muscles relaxed every now and again, the slackened oral tissue revealed a brightly colored strip of blood red gums. A trickle then rivulet of foamy saliva dribbled then flowed out. Nature set the pace and tone whence gestation would commence and be complete. Between advent of expectant motherhood, and expulsion of scrawny sac of new life, a cycle of cleaving, loosening and moaning (possibly akin to being impaled by a terrible swift sword) would ordain that vigilance be maintained.

Elimination of that nutrient rich amniotic bag would signal the finality of labor! An indistinguishable and amorphous mass of wet fur exited (or more accurately got expelled) from the womb. This issuance hardly registered an audible whimper from one haggard and tired older pup. That DNA double helix material tapestry and weave encoded a uniquely embedded behavioral and chromosomal genetic schematic for eons of predecessors harkening back to the days when humankind lived a brutish, nasty and short Hobbesian existence.

In essence, the general salient strengths and traits that demarcated these particular household pets (that essentially became beloved on a par like another part of the royal family – with the red carpet treatment to boot) came into fruition approximately when the arbitrary arrival of “modern man and of course woman” usurped control of fire from Prometheus.

Now, fast forward millions of years to bring this wayward writer back on track to resume his shaggy dog tail. As always, Harriet aspired to work officially, quickly and swiftly to maneuver herself in a strategic pose to nurse and wash her prized progeny. Despite her deathlike exhaustion, she mustered every last drop of energy to nuzzle each pup.

She gingerly crimped (with the aid of those knife blade edges of canine teeth) to grasp hold of the loose pocket of flesh encircling the neck. Rather than carry this motion out with intent to harm, the maternal survival of that brood got carefully nestled adjacent to the milk ducts where they could nurse and suckle to their delight. Tis the reflection of thine bark a role ruff alpha from the ruffian pack that offers to shear his puppyhood days to present papa pooch with an intent that the reader can sink her/his teeth into with fur vent bone a fido interest.

Brought about my premature birth, or so the story goes. Youngest of four involved in crash test dummy with hit or miss, and run. Vehicle subsequently deemed most fit for scrap metal. What a bang up job the wrecked automobile, which importantly gave life to the following anecdote. Hence, I pieced, stitched, and wove together tidbit of information, and resorted to fabrication only when necessary lack of information available to recount my purported debut into the world of mortals. Though deep into January (thirteenth tubby exact – thirteenth minute of thirteenth second...), the temperature balmy as expected, this part of the world, when mother (the eldest unmarried senorita of well known and wealthy family) found herself with child bearing sooner than expected (based on series of unfortunate events) during most recent holiday gathering. Of course the uncle denies supposedly forced abduction, especially after he swore fealty to president. The explanation, how an April fool's prank involving disappearing pickle went toe dill lee awry equals lame truth. Just like most other kids, yours truly born out of wedlock. Where once "bastard" stigma and/or immediate shotgun wedding demanded unmarried lass to get hitched as soon as possible. Mores (reed more rays) loosened up nsync with rapidity how buck seething with hormonal secretion of dropped his drawers. The immediate supposed father oft times surprisingly discovered none other than grand pooh bah who fathered countless children already. So one more mouth to feed the requisite outcome versus terminating the pregnancy. Thus free of guilt or shame, another healthy baby boy came screaming his little lungs out. No idea (even to this dying day), what reason explained such ear splitting wailing. This inconsolable sobbing abruptly ceased once passed arbitrary infant phase. As a toddler, albeit an exceptionally calm, cool, and collected trademark demeanor got exhibited by the old man recounting fuzzily warm details. At an early age, a distinct preference for solitude prevailed. Additionally, I naturally gravitated toward libraries in general, and books in particular. An instinctive ability to acquire more than one language found much younger self of mine mastering a gamut of various and sundry tongues. Hodgepodge of racial diversity the ideal circumstances for adept preschooler gifted with natural propensity to converse adroitly among many peoples. The following estimated ratios encompassing nationalities that cannot adequately hint at the lingua franca comprising melting pot. Within boundaries constituting motherland (mine), the following surmised distribution attempts to offer an inkling highlighting panoply of population. Within an area

encompassing three hundred and fifty three thousand, and eight hundred and forty one square miles there roughly exists Chinese (400,000), Portuguese (254,000) and Italian (200,000), are the most spoken languages in Venezuela after the official language of Spanish. Wayuu is the most spoken indigenous language with 170,000 speakers. Inherent bent of mine amazing ability to learn (and not surprisingly love) an assortment of languages at a tender age immediately bespoke a golden opportunity to allow, enable, and provide monetary income for thy teenage senorita whose pride swelled with joy once upon a long time ago bringing paid gigs, whereby yours truly touted as some precious possession. The ease with which words tumbled out mouth of little lad (in) aforesaid (hint - see title of this informal communique) South American country would bare require me to break a sweat. Thus numerous wealthy patrons sought brilliant, excellent, magnificent human instrument gussied up performing (without needing to audition) exemplary adulation with concomitant knack to weave blessed gratuity to benign creator specifically take the stage by storm performing, viz prodigal humility: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat or other theatrical renditions incorporating Joseph from the Bible's Book of Genesis. Though Christianity predominantly the largest religion in Venezuela, with Roman Catholicism having the most adherents. The influence of the Catholic Church was introduced in its colonization by Spain. Nonetheless liberal acceptance tolerated regarding loose religious entertainment intended for general public. Countless questions (about evolution of Homo sapiens) loomed large within maturing inquisitive mind recollecting piecemeal childhood, (a somewhat storied past – mine) more than half century ago, never could blatant atheism be trumpeted. This skeptical mindset became more problematic, when Church fathers came calling, especially to iterate broadcasts spoken in Latin, that cherished symbolically represented Mother tongue birthing bulwark, prolific gamut of offspring languages. Enemies (envious scions claiming a rightful stake), especially where riches proliferated near milking this cash cow to death.

A diabolical, inimical, piratical,

with words adroit

with the english language.

Temptation to bid fare thee well

bah humbug anguish

cuz down the gullet goes lethal drug

e'en without any farewell hug

after smacking lips polished

off deadly drink from mug.

Within reverie long fostered hankered freedom

at last attained to exit silently

terrestrial real estate oblate spheroid

during hulu heralded century 21,

which would deliver

(ants sir) rectifying eternal senescent deliverance.

Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness

and goodwill toward men/women

served as a mere pretense

extant the global arcade.

Nothing boot charade, enfilade

(albeit with limp poetic/

prosaic pugnacious), facade,

gilded hilariously inside jackass.

Ever since he kickstarted lifelessly,

his noggin oddly plunged quietly

resting as a deceased shutterfly

tonight under vaporous wisps

as somber mood prevailed

amidst the cloistered silence imposed from

the shunted cremated preference

re: symbolic (logical)

figurative burial of Matthew Harris

subsequently reincarnated as soft dust.

Potter's field here I come,

one harried styled swiftly tailored

faceless book earthworm member

joined the rank n file

of his slimy brethren n cistern

when a mortal male

(crushed courtesy cruel

cockamamie crime) ceased

to live June twenty first

two thousand twenty three.

I foresaw how miserable fate worse than death

resolved, albeit at loss to kith and kin

of beloved brother, father to deux

darling grown daughters and husband

since July twenty fifth nineteen ninety six

now left destitute and widowed.

Immune to antics of scallywags,

the grim reaper undertook requisite business

and swung a his scythe with effortless breath

and started coffin.

He exhaled little billows of cold air

while awaiting the hearst

carrying lifeless body

of none other than me doppelganger.

Prior to imagined demise, I took special pains

to select an ideal piloted kamikaze pilot plot.

A mossy glen with a mill by the pond

of my boyhood swimming hole

served like the ideal welcome mat

for the return of this native son

long gone from his family estate of Glen Elm.

At pinnacle of storied fame

death struck (with welcome arms) unexpectedly

while dodging the madding crowd

off hucksters, punsters,

and xenophobic bummers

jostling to get a glimpse of renown author,

where paparazzi seemed

destined to track me down.

As the advocate of countless essays

on inalienable rights

for all creatures large and small,

no pause from the hounding

local populace offered peace of mind.

Until now!

The prospect of dying

never scared this non-believer.

Cessation of consciousness

essentially served completion of life

in corporeal form

and reconstituted physical being

into grist for other organisms to flourish.

Karma and glorious unique characteristics

comprising each of our respective charisma,

dogma, and persona

(generally comprising an enigma

to the world) absorbed

after contract with cosmic creator lapsed.

Brief occupancy on this terrafirma

as inscribed in genetic code

(merely a blink of an eye

in the universal schema)

gave this now deceased dreamer

notion to maximize enjoyment of each day.

One need not globe trot

(and boast of espying exotic places),

but could experience inner harmony

by imbibing the present.

Simple pleasures that abounded

in the wild or evoked via creative imagination

of august writers supplied

ample sustenance for satisfaction.

Contemplative and introspective mien

prompted Eros to be discerned

in the grand canyon of Mother Nature

in tandem with personal motive

to indulge like-minded thinkers

since the beginning of time.

Any given day frequently found thoughts

turning over every figurative

jagged rolling stone

when the veiled, shrouded, cloaked...

characterization invoking angel of death

might silently spring a surprise visit,

which metaphysical thought

interestingly enough gave sigh of relief.

Why?

Upon termination of enjoying existence

in living color, the eradication

of this pet peeve of mine i.e.

anxiety/ panic attacks

interwoven with inxs

of obsessive compulsive behavior

would dissolve into basic elements

of earth, wind and fire.

No iota amount of matter

marshaled the non-entity dimension

would assume command.

Those former psychological trials

would thence be relinquished

from their parasite role

and recompose cells

of one mortal man (me)

into matter to be recycled

into raw materiel

for other organisms to feast upon.

Basic constituent cells

of Homo sapien in question

would become necessary seeds

for some other manifestation

for plant or animal development.

Godaddy maggots sans fancy feast,

Gestation as an embryonic fetus,

Hence, nothing could mollify measly

mumbling linkedin kibitzer,

albeit progressive matchless

who unwittingly opened

the red box of Pandora.

Molecular features

would assume novel combinations

thru said degradation of flesh,

yet improvisation of biology

would wield wasted corpse

that once epitomized an articulate,

After reading the novel titled

Broken English by Paul L Gaus...

accentuating, exhibiting, incorporating...

the Amish, whose long history of farming

with horses and mules, dates back

to when horse-drawn plows

first used to break up the earth.

While some newer Amish farms

use tractor-drawn equipment,

many Amish farmers still prefer

to use horse-drawn implements.

gagging me with unremitting yoke.

Hence, I experienced being woke

at mine incompatibility

inured my entire life

to the abstract codas, credo, dogma,

constituting western civilization.

How quaint to bare witness, where townsfolk

congregate to resolve community conflicts

suspicious should an hyperconscious,

and pugnacious "English" poke

unencumbered with materialistic trappings

whereby assignments delineated

governed jump-started

while women linkedin to domestic role,

know their role from cradle to grave.

Aside from delineating

responsibilities predicated

enables and provides

self reliant lifelong skill sets.
