safety first

 When I get sleepy and my video-game of the day hits heavy traffic, my mind wanders.
I'm old and my stomach barely works so food isn't on my mind.
A smoke? In a little while, man.

I started drifting back to days gone by pre-ghetto and during the war. (well it's all jumbled up in my memory.)

Your town here was mostly weeds and orange groves, but our suburban neighborhood has remained, like Havisham's castle, for 60 years, slowly deteriorating but never changing.
I'll bet the market is still there, under another owner.

And outside that market, they sold joy for kids in little machines, 

or what moms these days like to call, 

cancer-causing choking hazards.

The kids are psycho for tons of reasons (like, they never learned to swallow)

but those toys might have raised more normal people.

Actually, I was only thinking about silicone pink elephants 1/4" inches high, from gumball machines, But you wanted an intro and a color picture, so *here*.

superball (great for running into the street and transforming into road-kill/pizza)

The damn wagon handle on an old wagon could be used to bash a little brother's 

head in (I still have the scar) when the little brother offended his sister.

Yep, we knew how to crush-kill-destroy....

Some a-hole used to put glass bottles under the tires of people he didn't like,

but they still do that, so it doesn't count.

The tire salesman robbed my credit card

(ungrateful idiots sin verguenza)

Speaking of my dead grandmother and her treasure trove of epithets, uhh,

raising the spawn of hell (for whatever reason) who at least acted righteous and fit into society, but had very very dark souls.....

wth is "Visionudo"????

NOw I know you english types see "Vision" and think it's optometrist-related.

Or you could google the answer and come up with "ridiculous" which doesn't sound right either.

No, she made up her own meanings for words.
She got here when young, brooding and breeding for years, and coming up with words like "Visionudo" which a kid would be yelled at with. Visionudo (string of epithets here)!!!!

If comments worked you could just tell us all the meaning.

An artist who paints and draws, calls himself "Visionudo" so it's a legitimate word (the other epithets I'm not entirely sure of)

Let's mistranslate it (if it is said in a pejorative way) as "weird"

But that doesn't fit either.

Cochino-tascado, did YOU steal the platanos? Visionudo!!!!
