The Rejection Notice From The Guggenheim

What a whirlwind of dreams this life:

He was thinking back to his rejection notice from the Guggenheim... he should of hung it in a frame on the wall, what was the matter with him?... he should of been proud of it... he can't even remember what the potential grant money was for... oh it was something on the lines of making the world a more livable place, they had acknowledged him and his idea... so much so they said his application was very creative... but no banana... too bad but thanks for trying.

Don't take it the wrong way, please, such decorum .............

It was  a pretty combination lock.... for your bicycle... it looked  just like a  big dice... you had to turn the snake eyes to oppose the single dot... not entirely unlike a Rubik's Cube and wa la... the tumblers would  line up... and out would   slide the mechanism  nice and smooth like.

His different pride:

His problem too nice of a guy:

Her husband was a decent guy:

He was an old man and lived in their attic... he rode around town on a bicycle, he wore red... he had to leave the house early as it got hot up there... and he had habitual rounds to make.

The owner, the nice guy asked him to wait around for the gravel truck to come... he was having 3/8"  white P-gravel delivered for some landscaping in the yard... all the old man could think of was the dreaded wheelbarrow .... the young man was also trying to build this highly creative shower.. it was going to be made with rather large panels of stained glass translucent panes... with slots router'ed in and among'st the Banyan trees... to slide the sections into.

The old man was sort of scratching his head at the young mans idea... he had seen some photos of a wall.. the young fellow attempted to build with sticks and mortar .... he had gotten  a start then had to tear  it down and went with traditional stone  and forms.... the old man really liked the young  guy... he was meaning well.

All those kids  that were passing through the house... he had to watch his emotions and behaviors....

Waiting for a figure of truth to appear .... the adolescent girl  wanted to be picked up and held.
Failure and there Why?     He thought to himself... She was so hungry.

He felt dangerous.

Oh and then there was that mean group of boys... they were heading for trouble as they passed through the nice decent mans house... he knew it he could see it... so he thought... pretty sure.

He had his own problems.. he had to watch his feelings....and control his emotions and desires...


Failure and their why?  He thought to himself and the  Take care of it.

He wobbled down the street with no where to go on his old red bicycle with the over sized rolling dice for a combination lock.... a bit fearful...........

She sure was a good looker and was kind, and did like him ..................  and he her too.

He really should have framed and hung his rejection notice from the Guggenheim, it was something to be proud of.

You don't get satiated without hunger.
