He had one helluva problem
a bit obscene
and no matter how overtly
he held it struggling by its throat
front – and –
center
inevitably
seemingly at the
worse possible juncture he faltered
then he had to spend untold delirious hours
keenly and sincerely apologizing for his
perceived harm
his
transgression and utter misstatement
his problem
whenever
he wrote was
he inevitably
failed to complete a contraction during a critical passage
for example:
"I could imagine youd agree
with his racist surmise"
when in fact what he truly
wished to impart was:
"I couldnt imagine youd agree with his racist surmise"
and the gulf between Could and
Couldnt is ENORMOUS
he was thinking of giving up
contractions altogether
though admittedly he had a thing for consonants
vowels could take flying leap
too fuckin round for his tastes
not looked finer as nt
but if he was simply content going on stumbling
dropping it
to save his knees or face catching himself with his hands . . . whew . .
.
Why?
his knees face and hands would
eventually heal
though what he put at risk might not
apologizes become suspect when
youve made the same mistake over and over and over
again
apologizes do buy forgiveness S
E E
apologizes do NOT buy forgiveness no matter their
sincerity
he knew it damn well
hed
rejected relationships for less
how could he possibly imagine forgiveness
when he refused to dispense it
Dispensation - a churchy thing -
according to
the
Encyclopedia Britannia: “. . . Christian ecclesiastical law, the action of a competent
authority in granting
relief from the
strict application of a law . . . ”
whod want to be
granted relief from the strict
application of a law
particularly when the law wasnt the way they saw it
but fearful to be recognized as an outlier
apparently no
amount of honesty can impinge or outleg illconceived selves-serving laws . . .
smart ALECs wanting to have their noxious ways
peppering the pots and buttering the palms of pious acolytes
and writing
honestly meant
either hitting all his contractions or
suffering whole round vowels so not to be at error
he had to be deliberate
(despite
perverse temptation scratching at
his back for fallout and
confrontation)
harmony exists briefly only after
Chaos
