Jeremiah Clean\u2019s got the world just about straightened out, now.<\/p>\n
There was a bit of a kink. A bit of a hitch<\/em>, if you know what I mean, roundabouts the time Hans was ending. But the new guy\u2019s grown into his job now. He\u2019s got it covered.<\/p>\n He\u2019s even getting known<\/em>.<\/p>\n His life is pretty sweet, now. People respect him. They tip their hat to him when he passes them in the halls. He\u2019ll tip his hat right back.<\/p>\n \u201cMr. Brown,\u201d he\u2019ll say. Or \u201cMr. Evans.\u201d \u2014<\/p>\n Well, wait. Not \u201cMr. Evans.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMr. Brown,\u201d he\u2019ll say. Or \u201cMr. Pungent.\u201d Or whatever else is the person\u2019s name. Maybe even \u201cMs. Edrafille Imbroglio.\u201d<\/p>\n But not \u201cMr. Evans.\u201d<\/p>\n He took care of the Evans\u2019.<\/p>\n And they\u2019ll say, of course: \u201cMr. Clean.\u201d<\/p>\n The world\u2019s practically polished, spit and polished, now, and yet \u2014<\/p>\n Somehow it doesn\u2019t make him happy.<\/p>\n He\u2019d thought, if he could just get all these horrors under control. These giant wolves and giant snakes, the big scorpions, the crime \u2014<\/p>\n That he\u2019d be happy.<\/em><\/p>\n He looks at the world, though, and it\u2019s still not clean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jeremiah Clean\u2019s got the world just about straightened out, now.
