Woudya stop

Me stop. You’re the one in denial.

Christ everything with these clowns seemed like an argument theyll disagree with him slightly agree with him slightly shades of pale wanting to appear more than relevant anyet telling them they ARE relevant doesnt satisfy them 

Did you cross your fingers behind your back?

If I did one of yawoud have seen me Idve been reported by your collective unconscious Morse Code or however the hell ya communicate

                 Ya got me surrounded yare at keyholes playing angles off lookingglasses goofin around at my synapses calling to each other Comon in the waters fine Surfsup

Yareally think I could cross my fingers behind my back tell a lie  to youse 

If yah ya must be forgetful youse me 

                                          A facet of me but me

Somebody gonna acknowledge that  please

since Denial was carrying the ball she answered

                                                   he liked that his females cohorts had ballsbusted his he hoped his boys were paying attentionlearning something

That was a suicide attempt.

A cry for help not an attempt

It was an attempt, you put it out in the world when you wrote about it, when you confided out loud, what? maybe taking measure of the Universe?she sneered The Multiverse?

Yasaw as I saw He was docil . .

. . Asshole, he was a she.

A she A Mommalonglegs

A Daddylonglegs; she’s still a Daddylonglegs.

Doesnt that strike you queerdon answer lets play  Would ya agree to harvester rather than harvestmen mired again in the Daddylonglegs lexicon but   but  we could say opiliones 

Wait for it

What are you talking about?

Wait for it

Waiting.

Comon  a sense of humourwhy so dour

Might be my humourless time of month.

Plausible 

          But youve always been a bit curt 

face could have been made of stone he couldnt read her he wouldnt want to play poker against her if she didnt want such a big cut hed play poker

                               I’m waiting.

Actually I was waitin so see if someone else would surface

At the risk of getting their ass kicked . . out in the world?yah . in front of everyone?yah . Nah.

Ruling the roost huhbabe

For the time being.

Ah 

You forgot. 

            Didn’t you?

Yare makin an ass out of yourself 

                                     Ya know better ya know better than try to provoke me

Once upon a time you were easy to provoke.

Once upon a time

Listenin

 

Been waiting.

Definitely a period not a comma

Damn she wasnt breaking character

Awright  Opiliones

Yes, get on with it; formerly Phalangida.

I thought briefly  too  Phalangilda

stoic

Gilda

I heard you. Clever.

                     You want me to call you clever.

Thats unnecessary 

                     Calling me clever is redundant

Redundant? How?

Im clever without you saying That old wholesome gem It goes without saying

So, thought, briefly. 

                     If not Phalangilda, what?

Opilioness 

            It would have played better if you hadnt dropped Gilda on us

from the back of the room from outside the door through the keyhole he heard snickers a couple of muted HAHAs from inside his head 

                 that was acknowledgment enough for him

she gave him stonyeyes

Ya can give that up It didnt work when my Mom tried

Oh my goodness! almost gay Sometimes I forget you were birthed, had a mother.

Well sweetie 

              Im your Maw

You are, don't remind me; and what happened was a suicide attempt.

A cry for help

               She wouldnt have perched on the bottom of the tub  patiently  unmoved  making her presence known

She didn’t make her presence known.

a few Uh, I wouldn’t say that. percolated from without and within 

                                                                     he saw she was getting peeved

peeved and on her period wasnt good

Seems were getting unsolicited acknowledgments 

Nobody’s talking to th . . 

. . Were always talking

                         Ya know better

However the fact remains 

                            I gathered her up in a glass she didnt resist I released her outside among the poppies she scrambled off pretty as ya please
