Liberty's Sparkle (48)

   
   "Liberty's Sparkle (48)"
   
   Liberty sweetly petting Spanky outside in the oncoming autumn air, Faye, a coffin nail between her China doll lips, puffing her prayers to Grandfather, and saying:  "Shit Liberty--the world be weird with the infinite.  Everything is limitless, but not.  Blake and Wilde pondering if the microscope saw more than the telescope, into the truth of humanity and all."
   Liberty giggling:  "You have become the library nerd, and I haven't read any Philip K. Dick in months.  But I know you Faye, and your new philosophies and idealism--what are you trying to say?"
   Faye with:  "I have two older sisters.  Both too old to be molested by the time Daddy got his freak on with me; anyway, one is filthy rich, but looks like a fish.  The other, a blue collar, though better than me economically, well, she's like you--freaking gorgeous.  Just because she had a strong face my rich sister was always so envious and jealous.  Her money will never give her that glowing countenance, and she hates my sister for it.  Like somebody who wants to sing, and does it great; next, a person can't sing; then, they want the brilliant singer to get throat cancer--that's the psychology of mankind."
   Liberty said:  "That's why we have dogs.  Man's best friends.  They teach us love and loyalty--no matter how much an asymmetrical mutt."
   Faye blurted, and with an exhale of toxicity:  "Yup."
