   2 x 6 = 12.  Duncan would continue the tradition his Dad had displayed to him since a child, which was:  THE PEE JAR.  Some people call it a honey bucket.  But while a jar may seem glassy and able to offer incision to the corporeal aspects--Duncan was cautious in his firm, symmetrical aim into the targeted position; indeed, he would always use a PEE JAR.
   So, knowing the old man needed a friend, he left Roadkill behind to nourish his father.  Too, he left the El Camino, never looking back.
   Able to spot the North Star, Duncan headed in that direction, so to speak.  Moving mountains with faith, believing in the merrymaking of isolation save the bliss of Santa Claus.  So, without taking anything, as commanded, he headed to the top of the world, finding his savory solace in the gravy of gift-wrapping, receiving his dowry, in a manner of speaking, as he became wed to Saint Nicholas in the most straight of arrow ways.
  Nothing like Old Saint Nicholas, and the mirth of a hot, female elf to bring about a new family unit, sparkling in the expensive ornamentation of true love.

   Duncan broke up or did rise towards a frigid state of cool culmination concerning Aimee.  The thought of her ever getting a creamy yeast infection freaked him.  Gave static between the ears; plus, didn't want it on the lack of jubilation he felt for his personal junk; still, he was properly glad to have been forged in God's Image.  Just didn't want it to stink with the possible toxicity of others.
   Like Saint Nicholas of Myra.  Secretly dropping gold bags down ancient chimneys.  A friendly ghost.  Being transfigured into Santa.  Duncan had those visions and dreams, being mystically made from his Dad's brilliant biology.  
   So, he preferred above the tree line.  Light-filled elves.  Santa.  Hot chocolate.  No noise save cheer and mirth.  Card games without competition.  Love.  
   And he laughed, remembering when Dad told him that unlike snowmen, snowladies have no snowballs.   
   Yup--Santa is the boss.

   "1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus"
   
   Rarely driven--so the story goes; plus, available for under 4 grand in the year of 1972, this esoteric muscle car was and is alive with monstrous power, communicating muscularity to the best of them on the royal road.  Here are some specs--like this:
  
400 Cubic Inches.

Four-Barrel.

Revenge of the Jedi--1983?

   
   "Revenge of the Jedi--1983?"
  
   Originally titled:  Revenge of the Jedi, it was changed due to Lucas' wisdom concerning the fact that "revenge" is not the way of the Jedi; thus, we get:  Return of the Jedi.
   Jabba the Hutt is really slimy and freaky.  Luke has a newly forged weapon that glistens in sparkly green.  Lando redeems himself, and Solo the swashbuckler is alive again with humor--never to be frozen again.
   It came out on my brother's birthday during 1983--it was his last day of Catholic school during his sophomore year.  I was in the fourth grade at a Baptist school.  He got to see it first; nevertheless, we both saw it the day it opened.  Too, I saw it the next morning.
   Guardians of the Galaxy reminds me most of that past Space Opera.  It would be nice not to have had our innocence stolen by way of modern technology.  Spirit outshines machine.  Wasn't that the metaphor for the original Star Wars in the 1970's?  I saw that at least 10 times in Richmond, Virginia.
   Oh well, the droids are nice; hence, some computer stuff can be benevolent; still, hold onto that spirit of sublimity.  We all make mistakes like Lando.  And we all can find redemption like Lando.

   Duncan recalled, mentally, how his mother's cardiac issues brought about her corporeal demise; however, there was this one time when she simply went flatline; next, awoke minutes later, screaming about the luminous, white light with extreme cognizance.
   So, with Roadkill loyally at his side, having said his prayers for others, Duncan did humbly kneel, and said The Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus--like this:

   The old man wasn't as dumb as he played.  Back in the day, they referred to him as the "Little Wolf."  Of course, the Wolf Totem is minor, yet the Coyote's Totem is infinite, and if tame and domesticated; next, from everlasting to everlasting.  Though, as Blake knew:  "The fox condemns the trap, not himself."  Still, the old man liked being tame nowadays.
   As Duncan and Roadkill slept, the Apache native puffed away his prayers outside, a bit swayed and pleased in his bizarre yet mercy-ridden child; plus, he liked the dog.  
   The old man looked at the glimmering glow of the big neon cheese--her being a metaphorical matriarch that highlights the night sky.  Tonight:  Beaver Moon, so high above, hung by the hands of God Himself.  And though Duncan was merely a half-breed, the old man adored the boy, him ornamented in wisdom, maintaining strength through the family's trials; moreover, that his son had acted and spoke on the powers of Kings, such as Solomon, knowing:  "Hearken unto your father that begat you, and despise not thy mother when she is old.  The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:  pride, arrogance, and the evil way, and the fraudulent mouth do I hate."
   So, after extinguishing his cigar's burning cherry, he who was once a Chief strolled into the humble habitat, and while the boy and dog slept, the once honored Chief made a bowl of Lucky Charms, knowing that even the Irish were hated by many men.

   Duncan didn't become united with the Franciscans--in a technical way; regardless, he would pursue his quest to love the Earth and all that does dwell therein, as well as perpetually praying for those in Purgatory's cuffs.  So, the old man asked him:  "Gonna go after Aimee and mate with her?"
   Duncan quoted King Solomon's Proverbs, as it goes, saying:  "A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day.  Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind, or grasping olive oil with your hand."  
   The old Apache laughed; however, controlled the lovely thunder in his belly, vociferously and curiously probing:  "Don't you and Aimee get along?"
   Duncan with:  "Of course.  But people wear masks to get what they want, or keep what they have."
   The old man asked:  "What does your gut tell you?"
   Duncan spoke with wisdom, saying:  "Only trust the head and the heart."
   Then, Dad lit up a monster cigar, puffed his prayers Heavenways; moreover, started laughing with his belly again.  Duncan joined in, the twosome never denying their heritage, yet smart enough to always act in accordance with the merge of humanity.
