It nearly tossed him down a
flight of stairs when he saw someone deluded(diluted?)
he preferred optimism
he
encouraged it when he could
however
when
it was necessary
and
he liked it wasnt often
he
discouraged it rudely
he appreciated those who
complained there were subtler ways more
finessed or peddled softly
but he argued his life was finite
and he wasnt going to portion honesty in long tepid draughts
neither was he going to solicit
if he wasnt asked
but when asked
he had to assume the asker must
be prepared for a direct response unfettered
frank
she didnt have to ask him what he
thought of her bargain brand new single bed
he hoped his pained expression
prior to her asking was sufficient that he didnt have to say
others standing around her car
the bed was strapped atop were encouraging
it wasnt going to hold her
comfortably
no matter the savings she
incurred
she was obese
obese people do not take the
rickety chair in the livingroom to sit on
or did they
did they delude themselves that
it could possibly endure their girth
No they wouldnt sit in the chair
and yet she asked him So what do you think
Honestly he prefaced it
I dont think it is a good purchase
hoping that would suffice
Whatever do you mean
he cleared his throat You know the story of Humpty Dumpty
Yes
Thats what I mean
I dont follow
How bout Newtons apple or
Rock-a-bye Baby
I dont follow
You will
It
isnt going to hold you and all the Kings horses and all the Kings men arent going
to be able to put you back together again
Or it
Youre rude
Ah you did follow me
