graffic introverts
were the least of his trouble
he knew where theyre coming
from
and might even be able to guess
where theyre going
it was the fucking extroverts
that tied him in a knot
extroverts understatement didnt
say it plainly enough
more precisely extrOverts
they were the bright bulls in
the china shop
righteous
entitled
and SHOCKed when he didnt put
up with their antics
Whatever youve heard about
yourselves
is wrong
That braying still echoing in my ears is the braying of asses
And I cant allow you to
comport yourselves as such and defame me along the way
All around eyes are coming down
on me
Youre all too selfabsorbed oblivious to recognize that without you
So its my job to shut it down
Shut you down
And you wanna push me Ill drop a manhole cover on your heads
Ill bury you
Aint nobody gonna dig deep
enough to find you
Not deep enough by a long shot
Aw they looked hurt
though hed seen their mock ups before
to a person they had perfected it
but it was the attached thin
skeins of insincerity - like the invisible wires Japanese
model jets
streaked the Silver Screen skies on
- that betrayed them
he plucked them
they sounded like badly tuned
harp chords
out of practise
No not deep enough by a long
shot he reiterated
they were maddening
but they were the type that was
the rage that had been the rage for as long as he
could remember
they were encouraged
to a fault
and to be unlike them
was a knell
suspect not joyous
there was no convincing
otherwise
the pecking order was established
pedagogy ordained it
curriculum made it circumspect
and from kindergarten to
boardroom
it was so
so deplete of roundness counterpoint
the perfect storm
lemmings raining off a cliff
they fed off one another like
incestuous wetnurses
they exhausted him
when he was finally apart
like his brother sister
introverts
he sought the fulfillment of
silence and aloneness
-- Youre lonely
-- No Being alone isnt lonely I cherish being by myself
it didnt and wouldnt compute
they couldnt wrap their hard
skulls around that
remaining anxious was the least
of his troubles
