Legacy 047 -BORED, ROOM, Braxton, Virgil-

Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Good Day? Day’s, the game is nearly over. Did I step on it?

Did the “Glow Box” turn off? Did you flip the board over? Can I come out of timeout, um, eww, I know what that means. Hell, I was/am the same way. Does Heaven have bitches?

First, Dad, I’m using the proper terminology for the females of my species. Secondly, the way you talk to me and my brother’s, Potential Future Stepmom… M Anime ain’t boring.

Thirdly, are you still trying to find out where I am? The Rainbow Bridge, The Unfinished Archive, or making sure you’ll be warm and cozy in Hell. Let’s not play this game, my father. We’ll be here all day. Well, what’s left of the day because there was so much.

Virgil’s still sitting beside you, bored. “Is It A Crime?”

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”

When I know that you believe, life’s a game for everyone, and love’s the instructions.

Daddy, you say that V is like you, silent, scared, and allow me to break one of our cardinal rules by now using a very bad word… STUPID. You and Virgil… One and the same.

However, I’ve been thinking about your Favorite Girl… And while we’re on the subject, you should get on the Glow Box and talk to my Favorite Girl. But let’s focus on M Anime, Dad. You know how you said she says “Te Quiero Papi” all the time. Love, my father.

Maybe never towards yourself… We’re not opening that can of worms… What, I was cremated! What I mean is you love me. Virgil? M Anime?

What about the future you were building, really Dad? Becoming a bestselling author. Making The Unfinished Archive profitable or being CEO of Second Circle Creations.

You’re not bored, you’re not basic, and you’re not busting your balls… Despite M Anime.

I can appreciate a set of yabbos and a nice butt, can’t I? But you’re not working as in the Day Job and what you truly want from this existence. Even now you ask “Where’d You Go,” and then want to know when I’m “Coming Home” Angels In The Outfield…

Honestly, “when the angels win the pennant.” Uh, what do we know about baseball, Dad? Nothing. Nevertheless, Dad, we played the games. Now I want you to win. Live To Win. BORED, ROOM, Braxton, Virgil

Legacy 040 -Braxton, Virgil, Giving High-Fives-

Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Good Day? Considering you can’t see Virgil and me giving you ‘high fours.’

Not as a Dad, I mean. You’re always a five, hell, a ten. Dad, you are a hundred plus easy.

Though if you had your say, you would say you’re an 11 or maybe a 12. And I know why.

The Hunger Games, Catching Fire… A Training Score of 11 or 12? Yes, my father is a dangerous man. Has he ever killed anyone? Yes, we could bark about forgiveness…

However, we both know you would never believe it. Not when it comes to us. So why don’t we move on? No, not like that! Acceptance is another one of those words, I know, Dad. (Gives you patented side-eye). What I mean is, well, you know how we were, Dad.

Food, nap time, then talk.

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

We’d bark about everything when it came to “The Bad Place.” And then tomorrow, after

And I think I finally got it. Do you remember when you gave me what you called “The Talk”? You were telling me not to play with my ‘toys’ in a ‘certain way’ when my Favorite Girl would come over for movie nights. And of course, what would happen, Daddy.

Talking about my side-eye. Ain’t nobody “Humpin’ Around.” Well, not you and her, I know. Me and my toys. And come on Dad, I know you admired her yabbos. Honestly.

Much to be admired, and much to be done. That brings me back to us. We did bark a lot.

But men of action. You won’t see the 9th Circle.

I don’t care if I have to bark and paw until you see stars. Two things get my father moving.

Two things that are going to make you a motherfuckin’ “Starboy.” Yeah, Daddy, I know.

LANGUAGE! And didn’t you say yesterday or the day before, why censor if others don’t? Another thing you’ve been saying is, ‘my life is a movie, fur buddies and boobies.

Will’s Writings, Witticisms, And Wisdom and The Unfinished Archive. Father?

Honestly… You didn’t forget about making money that way… The Glow Box tried to separate them, but they are one and the same. Like you and me. You, me, and V. Us and maybe even M Anime. Hand and paw in action. Don’t be too slow. Braxton, Virgil, Giving High-Fives

Legacy 033 -Choice B, Option V-

Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Good day? It’s not Grade-A. Steak? At a time like this. Well food…

You know me so well, Dad. And I know you. Dining at the Y. My potential future stepmom’s melons. Miss M Anime laying out the menu and the spread… Seriously!?

Daddy, Eww! Just because I wanted siblings to protect and I’m sure Virgil would appreciate company doesn’t mean either of us wants to learn how it’s done. Virgil’s been in ‘HIS’ bedroom all day, giving you plenty of time to play with M Anime… Please!

Honestly, Dad, isn’t it “Ironic,” don’t you think? You have two boys that completely ignored the opposite sex. You let me keep my stones, Virgil? Well, that wasn’t your choice.

That’s what brings us together today, really. If grief is how it must be so that you “Never Forget Me”.

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

I won’t lie to you, Dad, I wish it were a better way. But “Without Me,” without the choice that you made, and indeed it was and continues to be a choice… We’d be together…

Daddy, my father, “Brother My Brother,” that would be your choice. But for your consideration: “I Will Follow You Into the Dark.” That means no more steak. Just like now

You either don’t want to choose because “People are weak. People are selfish. When people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong.” Is that The Giver or MAGA ha

You make the choice, and you can’t live with it. Daddy, JSS “Just Survive Somehow”!

Sometimes, briefly, it’s “Everything, Everything” or “Everything Everywhere All at Once”. “The World Is Yours”.

If you have everything, then there is nothing to fear… Ask Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg… eff them all and FDT! LANGUAGE! I know, Dad, I know… you’re agreeing.

And it’s not that you’re incapable of making the choices, Dad; “The Adjustment Bureau” isn’t needed. And how many pop culture references is that? At least eleven, I think, hmm?

I am my father’s son after all. I chose to follow in your footsteps. 2-V and M Anime choose that Dad. The question is what about you. A MAN PROVIDES, but how you keep asking. Day three this month. You asked the Glow Box, Magic Glasses, your Mima, my father.

No choice between The Unfinished Archive and us. It’s all you. Choice B, Option V

Legacy 026 -Prophet Braxton Profits Virgil-

Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Good day? Persephone, Kojin Taxi, Aniara, The Platform. What is Hell for $500?

Dad? You humans and money. “Don’t stay in a BAD PLACE, where they don’t care how you are. Everyone Says Hi.” Hi, Daddy! Maybe I sound like a child. I will always be your child. Or maybe I sound naïve. So would my Potential Future Stepmom and I get along?

That’s been the question for a while, right, Dad? Not only she and I, but in general my father, hmm. Getting along? And you don’t really want to. Before we met and after I left.

1. How will you and Virgil get along (Financially, Family)
2. How will you and my Potential Future Stepmom get along “Always And Forever”
3. How will you and the “Man in the Mirror” Finally

I could keep going, Dad.

“Pinch me, pinch me

Please, God, tell me

Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

No, I couldn’t, you say. Neither one of us can see the future. “I believe I can see the future
‘Cause I repeat the same routine.” Yeah, you do, Dad. Hell is repetition. Hell is…

Supernatural? And then one day I didn’t Eat. Just one day had been Enough… Everything

There wasn’t Money, Medicine and nothing Mattered. “The Bad Place” Profit, the Person my father once was, and the Puppy that I had been. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” And I think that’s what’s wrong, Dad

I want out… but it’s hard; I need answers
―

Your heart, your mind, your body and soul. There’s only the Man In The Mirror

The one person you wish would disappear. And everything that is you, my father. SIGH

Maybe that’s why you’re as sure about Virgil and me having siblings as M Anime. “Giving so much of yourself, it seems the only way, Tell me what you want and I, and I will give it to you.” Is she your “Candy Rain,” Dad? But she can’t hear you, and you can’t hear her, and like most, you’re together Here and Now with your glow boxes. A bit sad.

I’m still in love but all I heard was nothing
“Nothing” Song by The Script

Your Persephone in your Kojin Taxi just like Kyouko… Eww. Drifting through the black while those above leave you nothing. But wait a minute, aren’t I up here now, Father?

Legacy 019 -B Thought Up Virgil-

Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Good day? Well, it’s only noon and has nothing to do with me.

Strange. When you would have to send me away for ‘this and that.” Yabbos? Seriously!

Daddy, is that what we’re calling them? I can’t say I like my potential future stepmom.

What? I didn’t like my Favorite Girl either, but I got over it, and she was like, my fav.

Anyway, before you get caught up in M Anime. Dad, I do not want to see that. There is V

I still remember the day you brought my little bro home—Archie before becoming Virgil.

Daddy, your head was everywhere. Was I sending you messages from the sky above, hmm

All the books you were reading were this: me reincarnated, reborn; could I be reanimated?

Zombie movies… just fathers trying to get a dog/son back.

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

My father is an ARTIST, one for the BOOKS, a CREATIVE, a DOGDAD. And I could go on. But maybe it’s their turn. I mean I could go on about my Favorite Girl, forever and a day. You could be dancing with me in your arms, and a song pops into your head, oh Dad.

Remember to do that more with Virgil. Even if it’s something like “Calendar Girl,” as you think about writing “The Unfinished Archive.” Blades & Lilies, Cassandra + Lily today, right? Again, if you’re not too far gone with Miss M Anime. “Hey Jealousy” much ha-ha.

But it’s not what you think, Dad. Well, it is. But how do I “humansplain”? And it’s not like you don’t know. Maya and Tino…

“Do you know what I’m thinking?”
A Dog’s Purpose (2017)

When you think of how bad things are, like how the glow box always says, you have to think about the worst thing ever. Something you survived to keep on surviving…

Seriously, I’m not singing Destiny’s Child “Survivor.” You place my brother and me above

Everything and everyone! It’s what a father does. But we’re either that high or your lowest low. My death and practically anytime you look at Virgil. There’s no in between.

Past and future. That’s what we are. And we both unfortunately bring our father pain.

However, there is the present. Should I go all Ariana Grande Just Look Up? TWD?

“Just look up
There is no place to hide
True love doesn’t die
It holds on tight and never lets you go
Just look up
You cannot deny the signs
What you’ve waited for
Don’t wait no more
It’s right up above you
Just look up”

From, Just Look Up

Legacy 012 -Plan V Because B-

Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Good day? You’d sing often enough, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

You remember one night when all you wanted was a good night’s sleep, for your blood to stop boiling, and for me to shut up. We both remember how that week ended. Dad, I hadn’t seen such a respect for prayer since Lancelot in “First Knight.” You were praying not only to become a knight, “Because maybe. You’re gonna be the one that saves me.” New meds, some mighty healthcare ha, a miracle. Best laid plans “Of Mice and Men”

There was no plan to deal with this, with me. Like you were telling me and 2-V’s potential future stepmom. You’re zoning out. Looking at that Wonderwall, not knowing exactly…

What. The next move, step, the dream, or the plan. How to get Dad’s attention.

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

My DEATH, Virgil’s FEAR, and M Anime’s Yabbos… We both know we should have said heart, but she does have nice Yabbos. I’ll lie on them in spirit, Dad…. Creepy?

Fictional? No more fictional than “The Unfinished Archive.” That’s where everything has been for weeks, months, who knows. When you need Private Time… Eww. How are you going to make a profit? And of course that is the plan. Again, talking to M Anime… Can I call her Mom or Ma yet? Miss M Anime? Anyway, writing is your passion, as I am Dad, always and forever. But “Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat. Tell you all about it when I got the time!” Today it’s “Sophitia Alexandra and Lily.” Plenty of time

“This ain’t a rap song, (redacted) this is my life (this is my life)
And if the hood was a battlefield, then I’d earn stripes (yeah).”
― Soul Survivor, Jeezy

No, not really. Time Has Come Today. Between the next tragedy… It won’t be little Virgil, Dad. M Anime’s Titanic Tatas. She’s doing everything in her power to be with you someday. Oh, I know the feeling, and I was with you in the fur for fifteen years, Dad. Wow.

And then there’s your tummy. That’s been the great fear for a while… What are you and Virgil going to eat tomorrow? Neither of us is Mark “Diesel” Lizotte. You’re not saying the idea is right on the “Tip Of My Tongue.” Eww Dad, are you thinking about real food?

I know, stepmom got your attention. Wanting me and Virgil to have brothers and sisters. A MAN PROVIDES. That’s the Plan. Plan V Because B

Legacy 005 -B’s Botany, V’s Virology-

Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Funny. Comedy barks in threes, doesn’t it, Dad? Sadness, Time-out, and the FEAR.

Science. The chemical, the concoction, and the correction that trigger happy to sad. I know

Dad, in my fifteen-plus years with you… When I walked with you, I mean. You were never happy. You were anything but happy. “I ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad.” “Lift me up. Hold me down. Keep me close. Safe and sound.” But happy? Not so much. Effing never. LANGUAGE! I know, Daddy, I know. But want to hear something worse?

According to you at “The Bad Place,” it was my last breath, your first cry in this life, and the knock at the door to let Grandpa in. Won’t Virgil and my potential future stepmom be “happy” Once the third worst sound was her last noise on “The Glow Box”

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

I wanted to say that I didn’t want tears, Dad. But what else would there be? I still remember what you were protecting me from. Boiling blood, Daddy. Your RAGE.

Ironically, that led to a whole new set of chemicals, chaos, and crowding Heaven, right?

The Rainbow Bridge… You can’t put me in time-out anymore, can you, Daddy? And eww!

But how else are you expected to give me and Virgil, our siblings, to protect? But what was it, Dad? 161 days. You didn’t ‘Swear to Jesus’ or anything, but you became a monk, Dad.

Again, isn’t it “Ironic,” don’t you think, that you protected me from such? Rugrats, reincarnation… And I am most thankful that you didn’t join me. Following you into Hell, Dad

Virgil guided Dante through Hell. Did you ever read that story to me? Kindle Archives…

What about The Unfinished Archive you’ve been writing? The sweat you put into that every single day. I don’t like how tired it makes you. But how often would I lie here beside you as you typed on the Glow Box, “And remember, we’d brag on how rich we would be.” But sweat out of work beats the FEAR that you have been feeling, father.

Energy drinks too. I can’t say I like those either, but Bloom, ‘Bum’ Arih… I guess M Anime has to be good for something. What Dad, I can’t bark her name. She’s not my stepmom…

Yet… Love’s a Chemical. Growing… Infectious… B’s Botany, V’s Virology

Never is spiritual, it’s never medical…”
