(Glossary at end.)
I ken that an ace man’s gotta be twenty-four on the vig lest he get sliced, diced or swiss-cheesed by his advers. But when I cast my peepers on the Flyin’ Dutchman revvin’ on the tarmac and the flutterbys sucker-punch my bagpipes, I get that I gotta get an equalizer.
I look back at the terrorist terminators and see Belinda wavin’ somethin’ at me. Valium. Pop one. Plug in a tune on the cyber clickety-clack and let the little blue lullaby purvs wing me over this convoluted Mixmaster world we’ve created. I snag the sleepy seeds, ID the fishy globe-hoppers and foot-drag into the jet-powered tin lizzie.
