a flaccid American flag uplit by a solarpowered spotlight

he wouldnt have it

he would have retired the flag at sunset

folded it with someone at arms


the flag was hung by two they installed the flagpole  kind of completed their compoundcastlekeep new fencing new masonry walls new electricallyoperated steel gates            
                                                      it made absolute sense to let it hang lighted at night at least they did that otherwise theyd have to leave the safety of their walls to retire it

 

people like to name things

he was dying to learn what they called their place now
                                                            an address would be feeble

You know who said that, of course?


yah thats how he talks 
                          cant let it lieleave it as You know who said that? cant ask a question without implying ifya don know somehow yare not up to snuffhavent sufficient mettle
                                                               he seemed to depend to thrive on that confidence

for himself ofcourse he recognised the quote it was one beat to death but because he quipped it time and again he disconnected chose not to remember he let him have and enjoy his moment in the sun

he wasnt fond of quotes he preferred to fashion his own words
                                                                   however he noticed his distinct proclivity to repeat Oscar Wilde to him Wilde whose abundant quotes were often assembled and published in slick slender volumes which may mean he hadnt actually read Wilde but rather only his pithy quotations

what tweaked himwhat he on more than one occasion had been explicit For someone reticentsomeone uncomfortable with homosexuality you cite Wilde often almost as often as you call to my attention some guy running in the park  Noticing men isnt in my wheelhouse No breasts no interest Capisce

he pshawed him

he let his pshaw stand

Who said Everyone who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching? he had been a teacher

he shrugged 

Oscar Wilde.

he mediatedretorted I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I say.

You?

Wilde Who said I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member?

Will Rogers.

No Groucho Marx Marx however didnt write The Communist Manifesto The correct answer would be Marx and Friedrich Engels did
                     Who said Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong?
You?

Sounds like me no Wilde again he beat me to the punch Being dead before I was born keeps him in the catbird seat


You understand that you prefer your quips to my quirks an I my quirks to your memorised quipsquotes  I choose not to fix or annotate mine

 


Wanna revisit your discomfort about homosexuals

That term's passe, it’s not politically-correct.

But then theres no doubt wha Im talking about   And

We’re not talking about it.

When the time comes Ill happily listen

Get off it, would you?

Kindly
