Time to fly away

[Lonnie Clay]

This stage of my life is over. I have shed my bonds of dependency. I declare myself to be free to do as I please. I please to get the *ell out of Dodge - my brother's house -before my sister or brother get even more abusive than they already are, treating me like a crazy coot...

If nobody arrives here by midnight I am going to call 911. That will get me out of here one way or another...

I called 911, spent the night in protective custody in jail, then was shuffled off to the Veterans Administration hospital for my sixth stay in the psych ward. I gave as good as I got, and was released this time after just one week under scrutiny. Perhaps the shrinks' patience is wearing thin. Sample interactions:

me Hey doc, I have a confession to make!

doc eh?

me I am a master baiter.

doc groan

me, clapping tune of "My ding a ling" by Chuck Berry

them - eh ?

me - clapping louder - my ding a ling has clap!

them - groan

me : clapping any tune on my hands

them : eh?

me - My hands got clap!

them - groan

------------

held in reserve and not used

me - hey doc, My mind is dis eased!

them ?

me - Dis is too easy!

Call me a paranoid schizophrenic? decode that : par a no id suck his - oaf re in I see...

Well - that's just par hexadecimal 10 under for THIS mini golf course, with me as an anonymous player. In regards to my character, you can see that I admit to being an oaf...

I had a 30 second spot interaction with an inspecting VA bigwig visiting the ward - corralled him as he was about to go into the exit hallway - went something like this:

me : Thinking of Buying?

him : what do you think of this ward's performance?

me they're coping which is well...

him eh?

me when you're in deep doodoo, it helps to have a high coping.

him : aren't copings something on a roof?

me : they hang from the Eve's

him : groan -walks onwards - think he got that one straight and true, atypical for a bureaucrat.

----------------

Well, that's the way it was 13-20 May 2011 at the VA hospital...
