Eff You, Alvarado

     eFF the Universe. Of course, I don't "mean" THAT.  Believing the things THAT I do, HOW I do, I would never really MEAN THAT.

But..

eFF YOU, Universe..

I believed IN You,
About YOU
And
Through YOU...

You were there for me..
You take care of me,
And I find solace in your care.
As you ARE everywhere

Universe.

eFF you, I say, as my hopes were dashed the other day
In L A.

Parked on a hill,
For some nearby thrills,
I pause as I see,
A parking ticket just staring back at me?

What's this?
I stop and check it out.
There IS no doubt.
This unsuspecting soul received this ticket from whom you say?

Alvarado?
OK.

What am I to do as I have no permit and
Apparently Alvarado is the parking hermit?
Around here,
Maybe there.

What Universe, what?
Do I "take" the ticket?
No, that's a negative and I don't want to "pick" it.
The envelope?

If I could just ...

The lights on the victim's car flash.
No time to dash.

And moments later,
A young lady learns of her fates here
Alvarado's wrath is felt
and I feel like the Universe, perhaps, has allowed a new hand to be dealt?

Pay it forward?

"Excuse me miss, um, I was wondering if I could have that envelope?"
Without hesitation she quickly replies "yes" and moments later I apply this "dress" to my windshield as the Alvarado- ness may now appear to have already made this mess..

Thank you, Universe, thank you!

Borrowing the envelope causes no disruption and impacts no one negatively so all is right with glee I do believe..

End up even sharing the news with folks universe because it was meant to be and I had to share that experience and my glee, indeed..

Hours later,  I arrive back at the tract
I look and see the envelope in tact,
I decide to take it out and check inside
Of shit I got my own ticket_ surprise!

eFF You, Universe
O M G
What's this?
M A Z D..

Shit!
I drive a Mazda
That's my plate
How did this shit become MY fate?

I mean, I planted the envelope
And played the faux ticky
An awesome young female even made it less tricky

Damn you Alvarado are you going for SWAT!?
Does this really mean a whole lot!?
To hit me for your 68?
As I head out of LA late?

I curse you universe because we had a deal.
A karmic connection that for sure was sealed.

Alvarado, Alvarado, eFF YOU Alvarado!
Don't know if you're a dude or a gal
But YOU saw my game
And called my bluff,
But did you REALLY have to make things this rough?

Next time, I'll make sure to abide
As the Dude does , with his philosophy in stride

Onward and upward to other things greater
I just can't believe that this Alvarado got the better

Of me,
This time,
Playing me the fool
Like a melancholy. soul and a sophomoric tool...
