7.5.21

 

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

      There

      There you go

      Theyre coming out

      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
