Orotundo Belundromora. Just a guess. Seems like a stretch though.

Yesterday it’s Sunday. Воскресенье. Once I wanted to help this guy who I think was maybe Czech on the train in Germany who had no German to speak of not that I did really but he had none anyway he went to bed and the conductor came in and wanted to know when the guy wanted to get up to be ready for his arrival you know his particular station. Well there was this back and forth and forth and back and Fortinbras came and found Hamlet dead and the dialogue went on without a single comprehensionary pearl.

So, I tried to think of the Russian word for “wake up” because these guys couldn’t even get THAT far, plus I had my Russian numbers still in my head and figured maybe a guy who’s Czech could maybe understand an American speaking a piss few words in Russian (it had been a couple years since I had had any Russian at all, I’m not James Bond or anything), but like I say I had the numbers, and a bit of the clockspeak. The best I could think of though for “waking up” was  Воскресенье, which technically means resurrection, although no one really knows how it’s done or any of the logarithms and roots or food groups that go with it, according to Garp.

So. I chickened out. I let the guy just wave the conductor away and then go back to sleep. And I left the compartment before he did, so I hope that he got where he wanted to be, like in somebody-friendly’s pants. So what’s the point? The point is thank you try to help, bless you. Do be doers of the word do. Because even God can’t help a guy from the upper bunk with a kazoo band if he doesn’t know how to depurple the beety beety borscht of time, said Kafka, who reads okay. And God goes away. 

Though again, say you’re the guy confused and sleepy. When you do wake up having overslept your destination, in a crush of fear and frustration, you just must rise and make do. There might still be time God willing and the creek don’t too (my choice one) to jump with one luggage and wait. Or too, walk with two luggage and date.
