       Rock God  Jayra, ever vigilant and waiting patiently, picked up right where he’d left off.“I was trying to fall asleep, but every couple of hours the plane would hit these air pockets. You know how trailer parks have those speed bumps?”Everybody nodded.“For the first couple hours it didn’t bother me,” Jayra said. “But after that, it felt like I’d passed out in a bumper car and kept getting jostled awake.”“After a while I started getting nauseous. I mean, really sick. Alex DeLarge–at-the-Ludovico-center sick.”Blank stares. “Leo, do you remember the time I got sick at the carnival and projectile-vomited all over that Amish family on the double Ferris wheel?”Leo took another sip, then nodded.“I was going to go up and complain, then I remembered what Jojo said about not approaching the cockpit. But at that point, I didn’t care. Just as I untied my ropes he came over the loudspeaker—”Click.“This is Jojo, your captain, speaking. We’ve experienced some turbulence. I’m sorry about that—the weather was supposed to be clear, so this comes as a surprise. There’s that word again -surprise. Radar says we should be out of it shortly, so please try to relax as best you can -until we do.”A pause.“I also have a special announcement. There is an elderly couple on board celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary—the Lipshitz—so I’d like to congratulate them.”Then I hear singing over the intercom:“Happy Birthday to you…“Happy Birthday to you…“I myself have been married for twenty years, and it just so happens that today is also my wedding anniversary.”“Which is ironic…”“I came home early—not six or seven hours ago—to surprise my wife, not knowing I would be flying today.”“I planned to take her out to dinner. Dancing. Wine. Make love early—like a couple of newlyweds.”“Ho-ho-ho-ho—”“I even bought her favorite candy. Skittles.”A long pause.“Maybe that should’ve been the first warning.”Another pause.“I mean, what the fuck is a Skittle anyway?”Silence.“I’ll tell you what Skittles are.”“Skittles are shit.”“Designed to keep a black man down—little sugar handcuffs.”“Can’t keep this black man down.”“I got my head in the clouds—”“And my feet on the grounds.”“I don’t eat Skittles.”“Never got the concept.”“A chewy, fruit-flavored candy—brightly colored little discs with a hard sugar shell and a soft, taffy-like center.”“Now what the fuck is that?”“Licorice?”“Taffy?”“And what is nougat?”A pause. “Skittles don’t even have a nougat—”“‘Taste the Rainbow,’ they say. I came home early from work and found somebody else had been tasting my rainbow.”“My lollipop.”More singing over the intercom. “My girl Lollipop, You make my heart go giddy upYou are as sweet as candy, You are my sugar dandy.”A pause.“Do you know why they say, ‘Taste the Rainbow’?”“I’ll tell you.”“If you assign every race to every color, every race gets its own flavor. Its own style.”“Swag.”“Red Skittle—Native American.”“Lemon—Chinese.”“Orange—Hawaiians. Turn brown from living in the tropics.”“Green—lizard people. Live underground. Look human, but they’re not.”“Shapeshifters.”“And then the purple people. Used to live on the planet. Now extinct—like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Gooney Bird, and the platypus.”A beat.“Everybody gets along.”“You know why?”“Cuz there ain’t no white Skittles.”Another pause.“And that is not by accident.”“As soon as you put a white Skittle in the bag—”“All hell breaks loose.”“Everybody starts fighting everybody.”“A white skittle gonna fuck up the rainbow for everyone!” Thank You for the thumbs up.
