her birth day Friday
How are you going to celebrate?
Hmm celebrate
Curiously my mind flipped your question celibate Are you asking if Im celebrating my
celibacy on my birth day
Ohno, not, no . . No, that wasn’t
what I was asking, not my intent.
Although if I may, there’s a quiet angst
to your voice . . a palpable derision, or anger . in your words.
Look how perceptive you are
I wonder however if you hadnt seen memy faceexpressions my posture if you were blind to those aspects if you would be as perceptive
I can’t say, that wasn't our circumstance; we only know what we know, we can’t effectively or accurately
surmise what we don’t know, can we?
Can we
Can we I hate questions like that Rhetorical Questions that flatly dismiss
the possibility that we might know without an actual event unfolding or as evidence It prefigures a shortcoming short circuits our
innate abilities and demandsinculcates that we cannot know we cannot Know without an event having precipitated
I
believe with high accuracy that even denied an event we can know Perhaps not indubitably but we can knowwe can disregard febrile authentic
knowing which we kneel beforedenigrate
ourselves
We do not actually need them
to know to know ourselves or our realities
if you would
That’s a huge order, an enormous
leap of faith.
No No I have to disagree It is solely our assessment an intimacy that we cannot possibly share
with anyone else no matter how intimate
our connection with them
Hypotheticals thought experiments we ask ourselves or should ask of
ourselves she laughed brusquely We can ask ourselves because we are where the
rubber meets the road the intersect youll please excuse the word vector we are vectors
If we are harsh with
ourselves I am I donknow if you are or can be harsh with
yourself We can be telling
Or we can ultimately be dismissive
I choose not to be
That’s one helluva thought experiment.
I wouldn’t have conceived of or considered it if you hadn’t said.
Really
I ain’t blowing smoke up your
ass. No. I wouldn’t have.
You have a way of thinking of things very differently.
Thank you
Thank you. Thank you.
Happy
Birthday.
