Seems to mehe caught himself what did it matter
what it seemed to him seeming belongs to
everyone
no ones seem was more important
than the next
or that was how
it seemed to him
yet there were those who
insisted their seem was more important than anyone elsethey werent shy
their blatant insistence made
it easymade it Obvious for him
like plucking ripe red apples or cherries from their leafy darkgreen
boughs bright spot by bright spot by
bright spot
he walked up to them smiled grasped them a quick twistplucked them leaving them without their stem without their umbilical cord – a delicatelydepressed
innie bellybutton – no need for plastic surgery – at least not for that
clenched firmly in his hand he inquiredsincerely Why ohwhy pleasetellmewhy your seem exceeds
others Please ohpuhlease
patronising
Ohyesindeed Indeedydeedy do
patronisinglyprovocative
Inquirying minds wanna know
Lemme ask yadon get out of bed to
one side or the otherhe
always got out on the right side of the bed yadon put your pants on one leg at a time levitate right whaelse donya do like every other Tom Dick or
Harry MaryJane Sally or Sue or Jill
Im curious
he held them by their ripered fruit
in his enthusiasm he had to
remind himself not to pick them up sure
their tether would rip free
a
mightbit too provocative a weebit too intense
too brusque Yes but brusque was informative informed them their seem was too unseemly
or at least he
thought so
Youll have to excuse my
inquisitiveness my budding curiosity
Didyasay
I donwanna talk over ya Ifya did my apology I was entertaining an interior monologue that
often intrudes – is often rude – Here Lemme let go of ya Unrufflesoothe the creases Ive Ive impressed on you
brush

There

There you go
brush brush
Theyre coming out
brush brushbrush
You were sayinI trust you were
explaining Continue
he thought they might be more
congenial brushing them off no harm no foul treating them with a preference he was sure
they felt entitled
usually they had nothing to sayDespite the outrage
simmering in their eyeson their faces
but their particular outrage didnt
translatedidnt lead to action
Nahnahnah heyhey goodbye they usually had underlingsenablers wannabes
who were supposed to handle himkeep him at arms length do their dirty work
when someones
doin dirty work for ya you know youve arrived
. . somewhere
they didnt care for face to face
they flinched
they were docile
Say Whars that fightin spiritThat can-do
attitudeThat never say dieThat Over my dead body
Seems to meI gotta stop that
