Flash Fiction 69. Skipping School on the Weekend

What's there to do for exciting shopping adventures at the strip mall? Are there any activities you would like to do? I know how to entertain even in bland situations. Holy Grail of necessities. I've been eating like a horse. Oatmeal, hop tea, cashews, the occasional vitamin, enough calcium, coffee, tea, a few songs, and tap dancing on the key board.  

The proper way to skip school is to not show up. My first foray into becoming truent, was with a girl on the front lawn of our old school they tore down. So 15 minutes late for our abcs. And dragged in like a married couple who didn't finish picking all the dandelions. Yard work. That was the park I slept in. Near the Old Church, and the first Minnehaha falls. Down the creek in a boat. With my fellow punk scientists. Geology, computers, and my literary science. I wiped out in the rapids of the second falls, near the bridge, bouncing down the creek for 50 feet off the wet slimy rocks. Bruised. 

For the next Olympics, I will train hard to watch the TV again. Maybe extend my language capabilities. Advertise art advertisements. Teach someone a few cords on the guitar, and a scale. Stare droids are a no no. Get a hernia the old fashioned way.

E F G G# A# B C# D is a scale for guitar that I use in a lot of songs, from the old Pike frenzy to NKN to some of my slow instrumental guitar songs. It's slightly Indian or mid-east influenced, but appealing to my ear first. I didn't learn it in a book. It is a good scale to play with timeless sifting fingers sliding around. 

The next poetry contest I create will cost $1000000 per poem or $4 & 365% of something round, unless it's transformative, (donated to reducing the cost of poetry, shuffling the dictionary, etc. Art Official In Tell Agents with Linguistic Extententions & Emotionally Devious Responses, Rich Vocabulary) Publication not guaranteed! Lyrics though...
