Ostracized Boy with big longing Ostrich eyes...

feels 'e got gypped coursing adrift down banks of the Nile

No book learning known while this lil scribe longing for Fay M. Lee. She iz hot! The only pseudo education I acquired (about female anatomy and physiology...?) flowed naturally being schooled courtesy longest river in the world. Earliest recollections find yours truly (comfortably nestled within artfully made arc cake looking craft, i.e. balled rocky bulrush – off sturdy limb wicker basket) meandering entire length of the Nile River. Fingers slip and slide thru her... Answers to obvious questions pertaining to her specific berth? Ah know nuttin 'bout no me ah shaw mint! Lemme reply circumlocuitously circumnavigating beef fore aye 'aft tug go down into me fo'c'sle giving convincing explanation detailing ambiguity never task questions a boat formative years, which hapt tubby fey re: sketchy. This atypical re:meme burr rinse of something odd stuck tight within noggin. Thee following singular resultant iota comes to mind, which paltry happenstance indelibly etched within gray matter. When repeatedly jogged time and again the only vague recollection invariably constitutes garden variety, generic kid emerging from egg shell. Earliest memories yield this full size, healthy, and average developed boy currently jotting down ample words to qualify for Reedsy writing contest and meet Fame Milly alias Fay M. Lee. The closest approximation belonging to pedigree? Hmm... methinks maybe possibly a remote hunch Smokey and the bandit culpable stealing “FAKE” dinosaur egg housing me before I hatched. Anyway, no intent to cut abrupt inquiries..., but nary handy dandy blues clues, who and/or what processes wrought mine existence on par with metaphorical tabula rasa. Nonetheless, natural prowess with bolstered aptitude found me a rapt (rapid shooting) student under excellent private education and auspices Mother Earth i.e. Gaia, who begat terrestrial family. Linkedin with world wide web, I rarely brood being castaway. Every now and again thoughts will race thru my mind, albeit concerning kindred folks, but pleasantly distracted by daily nontraditional lessons courtesy renown teacher. She taught this avid learner many fascinating characteristics about said majestic waterway. Case in point. An average of 2,830 cubic meters per second of rich silt forms an alluvial plain. Dem girlz get really impressed with esoteric tidbits. This spreads outward in a fan shape from sedimentary deposit whereby ancient Egyptian civilizations got built. Significance towards maintaining flourishing hot pockets (somewhat cheesy) of innovative peoples made possible by a grant from Fay M. Lee to aid construction of complex edifices, and additional endowment courtesy Rockefeller foundation. These elaborate geometrically pluperfect structures entombed, guaranteed, harvested... necessary dry ingredients to buzzfeed burgeoning population adorning arid topography and irrigated by riparian modus operandi. Aforementioned expansive delta invaluable as facsimile thereof (alphabet lettered) to soup up life source to sustain body electric preindustrial society intrinsically, analogous to Aorta pumping blood at the nape of neck. Such profuse natural irrigation allowed, enabled, and provided laborers (most likely pressed into bondage since birth until nasty, short and brutish death) colossal engendered engineering feats. Artisans, craftsmen, early geographers can still be seen illustrated in frieze (freezing cold as individual popsicles) and drapery. Frozen timeless statuary exhibits recounting phenomenal abilities to the hilt all this without computer aided drafting.

Offshoot tributaries linkedin and associated from mainspring within fertile crescent guaranteed fruitful harvests swollen like overripe plump grapes. Aforementioned longest river often overflowed banks whereby coveted materiel gets spilt (and split) feeding the Rift Valley. Rich sedimentation availed grateful dead cultured clubs to dominate. Elaborate complex edifices flood the history of mankind with accomplishments that visitors (and occasional wandering outlier from alien nation) marvel even today. General examples epitomized by innovations include alphabets, wheelwrights, pyramids, etc livelihoods created. Twenty first century historians still baffled how each mortise and tenon snug as a bug in a rug affixed similar to block and tackle, hand fits glove, lock and key... Awesome construed monuments persons did intricately lay perfect with near geometric exactitude, which behemoths of stone still rank as wonders of webbed wide world. Absent human cost regarding sweat equity, yet storied blood and tears probably drenched each humongous block. If one peered closely enough faint traced hints of desperate scrabbling (involving daily trials and tribulations) perceptible. Less prominent, but equally outstanding relics harkening back indicate how once bustling metropolis throve. Here recorded for posterity preserved in clay can be seen tell tale artifacts of cultured foo fighters. Herewith case in point. Shards of broken pottery pieced, knitted, (thermally) coupled... together reveal mosaic plate which functional artifacts provided dietary staples blessed courtesy deities, whom populace did pray.

I too often times clasp hands tight, especially when keenly espying throngs of happy go lucky, fancy free and footloose young persons from afar. Acute vision (in tandem with 20/20 hindsight), when scanning the horizon spurs recurring wistful fantasies. Quasi sentimental thoughts effectually, momentarily, and temporarily sideline ordinary calm composure. No matter by Captain hook or head crook, I steered free and clear of madding crowds. Suspicion bred since birth prowled within mine proud animal spirit highly attuned to danger. Much as hungry longing prevailed (then and now) to invite camaraderie, never did I venture onland daring to brave strangers slowly approaching (unseen by this invisible kid rock) from distant horizon. Thus, I only ideally imagined (dragons) puffed (daddy's) with pilgrim's/puritan's pride heartily welcoming return of this native son, particularly among (every now and again) caravanserai heading, lumbering, plodding... toward the Levant. Such beguiling, entrancing, hypnotizing teased out far fetched notions spurred what brought boat my magical mystery tour. Thus just listed a foe 'pon discerning Homo sapiens friends, a quaking uptick arose. Henceforth speculation ran wild akin to quiet riot regarding my family of origin and birth. Nary an iota existed, not even my name, what series of unfortunate events brought me to current circumstances. An overactive imagination conjured a tsunami. Gigantic tidal wave catapulted cruising skiff purportedly (predicated on rickety premise) housing kith and barbed ken. Incoherent words (perhaps prematurely) ejaculated, punctuated thus disseminated thru the air or took place within this talking head of mine. Broken phrases got bruited. Something involving banded "brothers." Condemnation, damnation, excoriation,

fulmination hurled at cosmic creator thwarted doomed seafarers intercession. Skyward craft foisted until landing with quiet thud amidst crashing waves. Nary a trace of survivors (save badly bruised feeble narrator) seen across undulating infinite granular amber waves. No doubt raw elements of nature wrought worse fate than death among cabin "mates." Immediate family members vanished without a trace lost among expanse of mottled, rattled, and whittled quartz colored sea. Absolute zero chance

prevailed being reunited with former motley crue after sturdy, Troy built solid state vessel dashed upon jagged rocks and splintered into bajillion indistinguishable mineral size fragments.

Despite such gloomy tricked out scenario optimism vibrant upon initial unforeseen pell mell smoking gun destruction, asper mere simulation test for dummies. After many hours elapsed, unbridled faith foundered as undertow nearly swept yours truly out to sea fostering diminishing eventually extinguishing hope altogether. Thus initial faith for onboard survivors (minus me) quickly ebbed nsync with retreating tidal wave. Pessimism awoke another disparate dreamt fantastical holograms farther from beached berth immediately transforming thru prestidigitation dissolving optical illusion into quicksand.

Wait...! Off in the distance a glimmering chimera, (the first of many) appeared amidst the formerly mentioned desert sands. One mirage after another falsely lifted than broke uber promise, whereby buoyed salvation drained. Within this surreal hallucinogenic blend of pinpoint size nomadic wayfarers mixed within "FAKE" daydream, I observed helter skelter blurred activity. All of a sudden quick decisions decreed. Each man, woman and child left to fight for him/herself. Marauders sprung out of nowhere felled the doomed dromedaries, plus various and sundry drivers. Raw elements besieged wandering sojourners, no matter thee (all man) beastie boys (men in dark hooded cloaks and each wielding a scythe). Dehydration, exhaustion, frustration... foretold merciless portentous demise, whereby withering desiccation bleached lovely bones of future martyrs. One measly mortal i.e. me witnessed (or conjured out of thin air) cruelly unforgiving, unrelenting, unwelcoming pelting (ah... so petty). Coat of arms flew ferociously fisted cuffs confirming brouhaha as signature family brawl despite trumpeting injunction to cease. Mine ordinarily pastoral life indiscriminately marred by ill fated clamped, harried styled swiftly tailored rogues gallery sporting NON-GMO, USDA required dosage of devilishness evaporated in thin gentle airstream upon tentatively opening myopic brown eyes horror, twas boot a dream. Ova sudden itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini clad gal appeared to grant me three wishes. “Please take me” this lad (in) denial, wonders as far out speculation, that he harkens from extra terrestrial family species back to outer limits of twilight zone. Yes those accursed androids who dream of electric sheep! They drone on with saucer shaped eyes galvanized, hoovered, and identified flying object at long last came to take me home Alabama.
