You wouldn't know unless I said

: :  Golly, love  you ran across my mind again and left your beautiful footprints

“I believe in all that is unspoken.”  Rainer Maria Rilke  

he liked Rilkes poetics

                        though he didnt read him enough to . . to challenge him . . . challenging is  probablyNo  its the right word   his sensibilities took issue with the word “believe”

I believe

I think

I know

         believe is the least physical of the three  the weakest

he texted his girlfriend  : :  . . . you wouldn’t know unless I said                                                         

hed rather commit words to paper

                                    on paper in his hand words are decisive  declarative

they are less likely to be twisted out of shape or tortured  defied attempts to subvertchange the context they were used in

when he was younger he wrote incessantly  sixseven letters a week

in the few letters he received back he found his wordswhat he said were often taken out of context so often in fact that he began writing with carbons and mimeographing his letters so when he received return letters he correctedcombated their disinformation dysfunction 

sometimes his replies cited entire paragraphs

perhaps they didnt think hed be so thorough with his casual daily correspondences

out of sight out of mind  he minded

Who does that? they wrote

he did

       he had little patience being misquoted maligned Kaahrist Its family and close friends an always on his tongue was  State your source. Provide your evidenceNOT accusatory more from his staid point  one two three a b c  their reasons in descending order
THAT was his nature

it was apparentevident  one shouldnt get on the wrong side of him

he had a short fuse

whether in a letter or in person
