The dinner party

yeserts and his wife,
gena, came over for cocktails and a game of who can sink whom first.
I had the bills, yeserts had the shuffling down.
gena had the cunt she liked to flash
to every bob boe, bit and harry, as if at some fish auction in-between incense stands on pier 39 somewhere. a man with a smile passes by with a lot of shark meat on his pole.
before long I was losing again.
not just losing, but they had my head half cracked open & had started dipping chunks of my brain into the salad dressing I had made, using my only silver forks, bastards.
these were the rules, maybe next hand would be better.
i was losing a lot of blood.
but it was only the third game, yeserts had just lost the fourth round now. So now he too had part of his egg like shaped brain showing, gena indulged, lifting up part of her skirt for a quick flash between the candle shapes.
I won the next three hands, gena had practically been eaten by now, and her husband had little rainbows -
cartoon characters buzzing around his hand.
This was gonna be a better night then last.
But my stomach was getting full, my friends were getting thinner,
the bottle, sitting between us all, wanting to be drained, that yeserts sure could shuffle.
Gena passed me another chunk of her brain matter after singing that one Disney tune .
my pet rabbit came jumping up on the table,
he had chocolate all over his whiskers, and we all had a good laugh about that, before the next round took place. This dude from el paso showed up all the sudden just as gena feasted on another piece of my brain, don’t let him in I said. But he came in anyway, when he wouldn’t join out game, well, then, that’s when me and yeserts made our move, no reason to eat each other, when there is game at door, inside intruder.
“ I sunk your battle ship!” gena yelled , after we had all had seconds on the intruder.
“go fish “ I responded
yeserts had a poker face glowing when he passed me a taste of success.
