Reality must be getting ideas from fantasy
The first time I saw a nude woman was when I was a little boy.
She rose from the waters of a bathtub with a beautiful
smile.
The first painting I ever saw of a woman was of a
mythological goddess of love.
The first best friend I had on Earth was a girl named Diana.
I would run downstairs to knock on her door.
We held hands as we climbed the hills of our Eden, Saint
Mary’s Park, where a dragonfly hovered in front of me before it flew into my
hair and where I saw a new butterfly dried itself by sunlight that made wings
more beautiful than any stained glass window of church. We enjoyed freedom to
explore an asteroid of a rock formation on Eagle Avenue.
We learned and laughed on the way to our castle of a school.
My mother worked in a pen and pencil factory but still made
time to draw a smile by teaching me my 1,2,3s and my ABCs. And that helped me
teach my fellow first graders.
One day, the children were released early into the arms of
grimfaced parents.
No one came for me.
I opened the door of our apartment and saw a man take off
his glasses to look at a clock.
He talked about President Kennedy killed in Dallas, Texas.
I didn’t understand Death but this was the end of Eden.
The better angel of our nature, John Glenn, was the next
best thing to The Second Coming Of Jesus.
The great parade for hero astronaut was the last. It was the season
finale of The Space Age Camelot. When I was a kid, I imagined a new century.
I imagined a conversation with my future self.
Reality has other ideas.

The ground was damp with the fragrance of trees in the fall of 1991 and the sun rose on New York City in shades of autumn gold.
It was my first day at the university that vaguely
distracted a heart to be with a painter who wanted to marry me. She wrote my
mission was to make her my wife.
Later in the wintertime, I fell in love early on a Sunday
morning with programs at the computer lab. I made up my mind to switch from art
to the art of algorithms.
The future was about to happen in my past life. I keep
working at perfection.
I go back in time to use creative vision to fuse wrecked
memories of my own 9/11, which is the birthday of the woman I loved, to make
platform to elevate the better angels of human nature in pursuit of higher
education and peace on Earth.
I had a dream for the city that never sleeps and beyond
borders
I submit this to the future of history.
I was here.

When I was a boy, I looked at an eclipse with my bare eyes in The South Bronx of burnt out buildings.
A strange thing happened afterward.
A bright light appeared in front of my bedroom window, as
did a hurricane inside my room that scattered my comic books around, among
other objects.
I was being pulled into the light.
It was sheer force of will that prevented the little boy I
was from disappearing into another dimension.
I wasn’t ready for a new reality.
This is the persistence of my memory.
I recall being gifted in childhood with photographic memory
and creativity.
I remember doctors that wanted to administer a new drug
designed to dissolve a gland in the head of the little boy I was.
I stared into the
eyes of a doctor. He didn’t give me the drug.
The place where it happened was destroyed.
Today, it’s a parking lot of sorts for The New York City
Police Department.
In The New Millennium, a young American man tried to get
inside the building my mother has resided in for decades.
He identified himself
as Mark Wilson, a reporter for The New York Post.
He wanted to interview eyewitnesses to several bright lights
across the building that hovered for a few seconds before taking off at
unbelievable speed.
I studied pictures on his cell phone.
Mister Wilson, I am sure you are reading this, as I am sure
of scientific evidence to prove aliens have been on this gem of a planet for
thousands of years.
One of the aliens is called poverty.
Make with the mild mannered reporter thing and help change
the world for the best.
I am transmitting this final message from a public library
in The South Bronx.
Afterward, I will go out into the street and look into the
eclipse.
I wasn’t ready to leave the world when I was a kid.
I am ready
Now

YOU’RE A SPIC, snapped a highly paid director at the agency that was training me in media manipulation.
I am now in Ed Snowden mode.
I was recruited from a dead end job in a deli at the A&P in The Village where I was also called by the lesser half of a detergent that ends in Span.
A tall woman dressed like a spy in a London trench coat, leathered gloves and a hat over her straw blonde hair appeared like a ninja and gave me a test.
She wanted me to come up with a name for a pizza low in the ingredients that kill Americans by raising blood pressure.
I asked her if she would like me to deliver or would she pick it up.
With a smile, she waved goodbye in the background of Campbell soup cans and walked out to the avenue of the Americas.
Weird.
Strange things have happened to me ever since I showed up in the decade of UFO sightings and The Russians making science fiction science fact by launching a man into orbit around planet Earth equal to a flagship commercial for a little known company called Apple. You know Apple, right?
Here’s to the crazy communists for a rocket launched to the moon called The Dream, the midwife of NASA. Now where was I? I space out sometimes. Oh. Right.
Pizza.
Pi.
3.14 measuring the circumference of a circle
314 calories
Pi The Smart Pizza
It took seconds to think it up after the spy left the supermarket.
STOP DREAMING AND GET BACK TO WORK, snapped a little Irishman, the A&P manager, whom I once caught eating a fried chicken leg in the back of the deli when I was in the basement for containers and lids. He stole from A&P. And he wanted me to raise prices on canned goods. You go my way or you go nowhere, he warned me.
He wouldn’t allow me to adjust my hours so I can go to school. Then his daughter, a college student at Iona, was in a car accident.
Before he left to the hospital, he asked me do a double shift to keep an eye on the store because I was trustworthy, as the customers at the deli would attest.
A scream froze the blood of every customer.
I turned around from washing dishes to see a hulk of a black guy grab a fistful of dollars from the register of a Chinese American cashier named Jenny. A little African American employee chased after the crook. I bolted to protect him from a man mountain of malice.
As I ran, my red apron flew around to my back. My co-worker later told every amazed customer he saw me fly.
The crook turned around and saw a fist gloved with pink Playtex. I knocked him out in front of Saint Vincent’s Hospital and held him for the police.
I am going to kill you, he growled as white liberals shouted at me to release the black man. And I was like no speak English.
I imagine God asking me if I am telling Him the truth at Judgment Day.
I imagine rolling my eyes in disbelief and asking God to look inside my brain.
Duh.
You, dear reader, are reading my mind like God.
After all, you were made in the image of God.
Double duh.
You an idiot, snapped Roger of Roger’s Comics on 14th Street. Is A&P going to pay your hospital bills or your funeral?
Roger lost his finger to an escalator when he was a child. His parents sued and won. He is the reason a law was passed to make escalators safer for the public.
Unlike a NYC district attorney who thanked me, Roger gave me the middle finger for my heroism as did the little Irish A&P manager who LOL when an employee picked up the intercom and said, Super Man, save us. There’s an oil spill in aisle 6.
I’ll have my revenge on them when I fly this nightmare to DreamWorks.
Any day soon…
