The Pretender! hur inexplicably he found that he
was to sit in First Class
he was not first class material
he supposed that was the only way
he would ever find himself there otherwise according to Blue Bloods he might have only found himself there if they
stepped in him and unaware had tracked him onto the aircraft sticking to the
sole of their foot – which sounded right to him – Blue Bloods would never step in
shit with both boots the boots others are supposed to
pull themselves up by
sigh
his criticism of Blue Bloods was unjust
what he meant was
the
hoity-toity the wealthy the businessmen padding accounts and feeling every-bit-worthy
of their preeminent preening and passage those who looked down their noses at people who had the misfortune and
misery of not being born into money
as they walked past him -- he never
sat with a leg crossed over his knee but
how else would they see he was wearing flipflops – they sneered
sneering is
a natural wealthy affectation rather they
practise it as children before a mirror until theyve perfected it it becomes
second-nature
Really
he thought hard about it he couldnt
remember the last time he sneered at anything or anyone
they were practised and predisposed
also he couldnt pull off the long look down his
nose itd been broken three times in fights and the wealthy have other people to fight
for them
so he sat ridiculous in First Class
he made a point of greetingsmiling
like an ass at all the other First
Classers they may have wondered how did
the chaff get mixed in with the grainhe certainly didnt belong nor did he long to belong his
smiles were encouraged by his thinking that he was the proto-ergot the lysergic
acid precursor to their 36,000feet of altitudeattitude
lysergic acid diethylamide trip flight tripping their fancy flight or flights of
fancy
he knew what he would say if he were
asked how he ended up in First Class Like yourself I put my pants on
one leg at a time
sometime Twosday, 21 5.
