Angel Schunard Don't Take No as an Answer
by
Larson, Jonathan & Meredith, Mark Walter
The time, and date was: December 24: 9:10. P.M.: Eastern Standard Time:_Angel led him past the Eleventh St. lot! Where a tent city full of homeless in their tents rose up from the grounds of the lot as Angel, and Collins walked across the street crosswise._ Angel turned around: smiling at Collins: slowly pulling his hand._ Collins stopped a second saying, my friends: though: why are you doing such to help out. Someone like me: somebody you just met: my friends wait for me._ They are waiting: spending Christmas! Together: Davis, Cohen! Moreover, I used to live together in this studio loft together.
_ It's Christmas!_ I have to go:
_ _ _Angel said, wrong: it's not Christmas: it's Christmas Eve: and Christmas Eve deserves a Christmas dinner. Don'tya think:_I think! You asked a question in the same breath you answered. Your question, why am I doing it, you asked?_ I've already said it: I am doing it because: Hell, it's Christmas Eve:_you should get more for a Christmas feast than a couple a'knuckle sandwiches._ Davis, and Cohen can have Collins as a present on Christmas morning: let me make you forget about being mugged. _Angel led the way with Collins trailing after by his arm, and gently grasping hand.
_ Collins let her drag. Him along after Angel because by this Angel he was intrigued: and he wanted Angel to pull. Him along after him toward his apartment._ Collins knew! He could break out of Angel's light grasp but he loved the gentleness of it, and wanted to go to Angel's apartment with Angel: Collins knew from Angel's kindness, and obvious sincerity that it wasn't a trick of any kind._ It wasn't too good to ever be true: Angel was too true to be bad for Collins._ If Angel meant ill toward Collins, Davis, and Cohen: then Angel would have been more blatant about having sex with him, and make a lot of sex promises about all the explicit things she was going to do to him before she went to her apartment then hit him over the head, and turn his skin into a lampshade: but she wasn't over advertising: nor was Angel smiling evilly so Collins didn't have a scary feeling that this was too good to be true.
_ So Angel was no Jeffery Dahmer: obviously._ Collins was only afraid Collins's friends would worry for him but Collins wanted to go along for the ride with Angel anyway!_ Collins joked: asking: what if Cohen, and Davis are waiting for one to pitch in for a Christmas feast:
Meredith-2 'n't Take No for an Answer
_ _ _Angel quickly answered, you had no money to get Christmas dinner with.
_ _ _Collins replied, "Yeah: I know:_just checking to make sure you're paying attention."_ Angel, and Collins walked past the government recreation center where a homeless woman slept on a small mattress: like usual:_being led by Angel: Collins questioned, Why do you all-of-a-sudden walk some sort of like a woman now that you met me: you've been outfitted in clothes which some sort of are macho: y'know.
Meredith-3 'T Take No for an Answer
_ _ _Angel stated; I walk as a woman due to how I am. A real woman._ When a homophobe comes up to me! Moreover, says I'm a male that wishes he were a woman: I make. It: rule of thumb: that. I say back, I am a real woman: I may have been born a man, and have the junk. Of a male but I have put a lot of work to walking like a model. Moreover, walking in heels: wearing clothes as a woman wears in public too._ Collins asks. Why am I dressed macho: Angel says; I dress macho because I am. A cross dressing super-heroine: and I am in my secret identity now:_it's true: all. Of it: I'm a cross-dressing crime-fighter: except. For the fighting crime part: of course:_I do dress up as macho at times so. Nobody can see I am cross dresser at times._ It is better for business when. I am drumming for spending money: tho':_by the time that Angel finished talking: she led Collins up. The stairs to her building stairwell: and up into inside her apartment before he even knew! In addition, realized that he was through her unlocked, and opened door:_she told him to: ": Wait in here." as. Angel pointed down to the edge of the rug that Collins was standing at: Angel pointing an index finger at his Timberlands-style boots: Angel had baby-blue polish on Angel's nails that looked like they were scraped partially off with a workman's fine chisel.
_ Collins heard that the person that made up the story for True Romance the movie would have his nails done in the same fashion as that only with black polish chiseled as such in early "retro." 80's punk style which was coming into fashion once again._ Angel then said: I'm going to the next room to get something to show for ya._ I want you to see:_I'll be back soon: Angel walked through an opened door, and shut. It closed: the room was a study room with a desk, and closet in back. In a Japanese motif: incense, and an incense-holder was on the desk with music sheets Angel was obviously writing._ Somebody obviously wanted to concentrate while writing music sheets, and Collins saw a glimpse of a meditation mat in front of a samurai blade scabbard holder up against the other wall: and then the door closed.
_Was it all part of the Oriental theme that pervaded the rest of the! Apartment to a lesser extent:_there was more to Angel than met the eye: her dreams, and hopes: aspirations: her dislikes, and likes._ Perhaps Angel practiced the martial arts._ Collins noticed Angel's legs on the way to this building: pretty thick._ Maybe Angel could give a mean kick if somebody bothered Angel.
_ Angel probably had good-looking legs:_kind of bossy: but Collins some sorta liked that from. Times to time from people were attractive._ Collins stared at the wooden door in that still silence for a few seconds: then looked around at. The room he was in:_Angel said from inside the door, you don't have to stand. There literally: you can sit down._ Sit on the bed out in the living room: not the sofa._ I can throw out the sheets. However, not the couch: I'll be out to put hydrogen peroxide on your knee in a second: I'm sorry. The furniture is all rearranged in a weird way: I'm trying to (pronounced fung shway) feng shui the! Apartment so I can think when I write music:_will be right out after I'm changed for support group: hum: Collins had noticed something strange about the king size bed with the living-room, and the bureaus in strange places but he didn't say anything about it.
_ Collins sat on the edge of the big bed: and tested the bounce a couple of times: very cushiony._ Finally the wait was over for him, and Angel came out, and Collins was astonished!_ Collins thought that she just felt sweaty from being out all day. Moreover, forsake a shower for merely a change of clothes because Angel had a guest in her place: but this was a change._ Angel was wearing a St. Nick coat: high heels: a wide St. Nick belt: and a wig.
_ Angel said, like it Collins: do you think it's cute Collins:_

Meredith-5 'n't Take No for an Answer
_ _ _ Collins stared in awe, I love it._ You're going to wear that to group?
_ _ _Angel replied, of course I'm going to wear this to support group Collins:_don't you get it Collins:_I'm St. Nick with a Christmas surprise!_ My surprise is that the reason I am dressed as St. Nick is because it's Christmas: don't you get it Collins?!
_ _ _Collins answered, of course I get it:_I thought for a few seconds that this was for my own enjoyment: and I was going ta make sure this was all fer me: not for group or giving presents to friends: that's all.
Angel caressed Collins's face, and replied, I am all 4 u 2-day hon-e:Angel knelt down: continuing! To say: now: let's put some Mercurochrome on your leg:_pull your pants leg up so that Nurse Angel could see the whole skin area._ Is Collins' jeans cuff big, and loose enough for that: good: now let's put some Mercurochrome on this.
Meredith-6 'Schunard Do'
_ _ _Collins said, what the heck is Mercurochrome:_when Angel entered the room a second ago Collins marveled at her: what Angel wore that he didn't notice the three bottles nor the band aids in Angel's left hand by the necks of the bottles.
_ _ _Angel answered, it's iodine: -Mercurochrome is the same as iodine: just different name: that's all._ This will hurt.
_ _ _Collins by now had pulled his pant cuff up over his knee, and Angel put a drop of Mercurochrome on his leg where it was skinned._ Collins yelped, ouch:_
Angel stated the fact, it isn't as bad as all that is it y'big silly willy:
_ _ _Collins said, yeah it is.
_ _ _Angel said, OK: maybe it is._ Angel then used cotton in her palm to put on rubbing alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide._ Angel put a band aid on, and the blood was cleaned by then.
_ _ _Collins looking at Angel's legs for a while by now: said, you have nice legs.
_ _ _Angel said, thank you: you should see them in my zebra stripe tights: she got on Collins's lap with Angel's arms around Collins's neck loosely, and looked into Collins's brown eyes.
Meredith-7 'N't Take No for an Answer
_ _ _Collins asked seriously: you aren't wearing any underwear under that St. Nick coat, and belt are you?
_ _ _Angel: answered, not until I show you how I look in striped zebra tights: I'm not at least: Angel put Angel's fore-finger on Angel's thick tongue, and then put her finger on the side of the bottom of the St. Nick coat, and made the sound effect, "Tss!"
_ _ _December twenty-fifth: ten P.M.: Eastern Standard Time: Collins slides open the studio door._ Collins happily calls out, Merry Christchmas: bistchmass-es:_
Cohen exclaimed, fourteen hours later where were you: Cohen grasped him, and hugged Collins hard after being gone so long.
_ _ _He felt pain where his back had hit the alley wall, and Collins' back drug down the wall: hurting the muscles in his bruised back muscles: he called out, ow-wow- wow ow:
_ _ _ Cohen asked: concerned: ": Are you O.K:_ "_

FREE VERSE POEM, MID RENT INTERLUDE, ALISON BABY
by
Mark W. Meredith
It was December 24: 8:55: PM: Eastern Standard Time.
Allison sat at the edge of the couch: slumped down sadly: sadly enough.
Ever since the marriage, Allison felt bad, guilty for the scene Benny Grey-Coffin's old friends made at the wedding.
Allison told him during the beginning of the after wedding celebration that Coffin might as well give Coffin's friends the news about how he was going to buy the building down the street near the corners of Eleventh St. from the old music publishing factory, also the empty lot next door.
More over, that they were going to have to say good-by.
To their little homeless friends.
That Maureen, Cohen, Mr. Davis do pictures about or talk to them or whatever they do.
Allison watched sort-of from afar, as Mr. Davis looked mad, stern, looking hard at him.
Silently Mr. Davis then looked strangely out of the corner of Mr. Davis's eyes as if he thought he was crazy as they finally got their chance to speak.
Meredith-2 'LUDE, ALISON BABY
Allison remembered how Maureen had her arm around Cohen's shoulder as they were stood there together.
Maureen sometimes fawned all over Cohen because he was so smart about electronics.
Cohen, Maureen stood there looking like that old cartoon with the short person, the tall man, Mutt, Jeff._
_ That Amazon Maureen stood over him with one arm touching Cohen.
Cohen said: Maureen does modern art performances about such unfeeling attitudes towards the homeless.
How can you say something like that right in front of us, Coffin?!
What about the ideals you said that you had when the Coffin we thought we knew used to live with us?!
Coffin merely replied I still have the idealisms I once had of helping poor people as before, but in a different way.
I still believe that the bums have a right to stay on an empty lot that the owner doesn't do anything with while they get back on their feet.
It's just that I now believe that the owner of the lot could help the bums by telling them to get off the lot, get a job.
One has to help one's self, one's family first don't you think?
Mr. Davis finally got up the anger up to state his point; society will not let them have a job!
The Societal Machine will only allow them rags to survive!
Coffin simply replied, is that my problem?
What does that have to do with me?
The clothes I wear now that I am making a more comfortable living probably have just as many atoms as rags.
My clothes are just made of rare atoms that cost!
My wearing finer molecule in generality on my atomic structure doesn't connect my molecular structure to any of those bums so why does one blame: Coffin for their misfortunes: all Coffin is doing is telling the police that those bums are trespassers on my lot.
All I'm doing is moving the molecules in my mouth in such a way that the police can understand the vibrations coming out of Coffin's throat.
All Grey is doing is making vibrating air: Coffin is not to blame for how the Societal Machine is.
Meredith-3 'TERLUDE, ALISON BABY
Cohen replied, Coffin you can break down everything you're doing into math, calculus, scientific explanations, it looks like simple logic until nobody could understand it all you want, but nothing can change what you're actually doing, that is you are destroying people's lives!
Coffin, you are causing a number of homeless people to scream out in pain!
Coffin: you are burning people's throats with gas grenades, people's eyes with mace spray, you are too bad a person to care!
Coffin: then said, "Of course, I am a good person because I'm logical; logic means I am right.
Good means the same as right.
I have feelings like anybody.
There are times I almost pity bums but being a man of great character means taking over, becoming the leader".
Cohen then said, if one cannot accept, act upon a simple immutable fact that you cannot hurt another human being, then you are not logical.
It only means that you are not right.
It means that you cannot listen to the facts.
It means that Coffin is too stupid to make an informed decision.
Meredith-4 'RENT INTERLUDE, ALISON BABY
Coffin seemed almost to spit out the words like they were poison; I don't believe that I'm stupid.
I will tell you what I think though.
I think you all are ignorant.
Thomas Collins: being the college student that graduated said, you don't even know what ignorant means in this case because you're the one being ignorant in this case.
Coffin retorted, you all just are not logical enough: you all know what?
You all know what: if you're all going to call me stupid when technically I obviously am not the pack up, leave my wedding.
Get up, do a 180 around: leave my father's back yard if you are going to disagree with me again tonight in my own wedding:
Maureen said, "It's your father-in-law's back yard: Coffin.
If you want to get people dragged off someone's property then maybe the actual owner should have the guts to tell them to get off: Coffin."
Coffin called back as he walked away to the center of the reception to talk to more important people, I'm trying to help people like me when we all lived together in that loft together: I promised that I would follow our dreams, buy that building so that we could have a place to practice modern art.
Write songs, produce films: there's no money in that: I have to compromise to follow my dreams.
I have plans for us still: just you wait see: you'll see: you'll see: she had stood at one of the hors d'oeuvre tables next to the wall of the back of Daddy's house that was white: Allison turned sideways: pretending that she wasn't listening to it!
All: Allison suddenly felt very visible to everybody at the reception: even though Allison knew nobody was.
She felt as though the small group of Coffin's old guy-friends were giving Allison a dirty: long stare but knew that they weren't the kind of people to do that.
Meredith-5 'RENT INTERLUDE, ALISON BABY
Suddenly: Mark finally said, "What do you guys say: Coffin says we can stay since we're not going to disagree with him again today anyway.
Do we stay: "
Collin's said, I'm stuffed enough now: what do you guys say: I don't even want to think about food for the rest of the night.
I don't want to fill up napkins with food or fill up on food all night when people might be thinking that we're no longer friends of Coffin's, we're just filling up on food because we're poor people.
Cohen said, I'm stuffed for today: I could go home.
Meredith-6 'TERLUDE, ALISON BABY
Mr. Davis said, I'm stuffed for tonight.
I'll go with you.
Maureen said, I'm stuffed.
Let's go.
Everybody here is all-old here anyway.
We don't want to think about food right now, all we can do is living for the moment: so let's leave for right now.
Cohen said, I'm starting to hate when Coffin is around:
(: fuck:): (: that is all shit: ): though: if only he could show one act of empathy: one kind act that shows us that Coffin can sympathize with someone in real pain.
If only there was some way he could show us that Coffin himself can show us that Coffin has a different life now: but that he still emotionally in contact with us as a real friend.
They all eventually began to walk away from the wedding: from Coffin's life.
Allison finally came back to the real world from the world of her memory.
Did Allison come between Coffin's friends, him: why can't people see when people are trying to help them?
Why can't people just be logical,just not feel it when people that live in comfort get angry, throw them off their property for no reason or any reason!
Why can't bums just not allow themselves to get angry or sad when comfortable people get angry at them when people who are financially comfortable just get in an angry mood?!
Daddy said that it would be hard to help people who are poor: but how!?
Could that be: she thought about how Allison didn't believe Daddy when Allison was 17: so how?
Could she force Allison herself to not?!
Believe it now that she was entering the real world: why?
Can't she be that logical now that it's actually happening!?
To Allison: is it true: as!?
Some religion says that bad people create their own Hell: are bad.
Things coming back to Allison: all of the single frames of the life memories of the picture she made.
Of her life through her eyes were fast-forwarding through her memories of the poor persons Allison had hurt in the real world: along with the guilt, the depression, the sadness, the anger until it became the crescendo of an insane symphony.
Was this irony?
It cannot be: Allison is a good person: isn't she: the insane opera symphony is still racing upward: higher-and-higher until Allison only can do one thing: call the number of the one person she could admit Allison feels guilty too: the insane crescendo raises: raises: as Allison's fingers fumble at the button-dials of the fancy: old fashioned: golden telephone!
She quickly brought the receiver over, up to Allison's face.
She quickly dialed across the buttons: the number that would bring Allison the voice of the one person who knew the same guilt, depression, sadness about kicking poor people off of Allison's land.
Meredith-7 'RENT INTERLUDE, ALISON BABY
Meredith-8 'RENT INTERLUDE, ALISON BABY
This one voice agreed with Allison no matter how wrong they both were in this matter.
This was the voice that would keep asking, talking with Allison about, Why don't poor people realize that we are trying to help them: until they both forgot how wrong they both were in the whole matter.
After the other cell phone rang: she interrupted the word, hello: Allison: immediately called out, Coffin: is it you?!
Coffin finally said to her, Allison baby: you sound sad:
