he tended to frustrate friends
family his buddy particularly
Who again, what did you say her name
was?
Simone Weil
And you know her why?
I read
Yes yesyes I know you read, but
why, how, did you learn of her?
Im a curious reader . .
.
. Jesus
he laughed heartily
then gathering
his breath I stumbled upon her Cant say howkinda like hopping rock to rock across
a wide creek some rocks flipping after I leapt from them I cant retrace my steps from where if I
wanted
But its about the trip the journey not arriving
I like destinations.
Ah your destiny
Destiny. Always the smart ass.
So what of . . his eyes darted around he was searchingdigging real hard
. . . Simone?
Look at youya recalled This is a banner day
he screwed up his face looked like a fly having its wings
tore off Just can’t let up can you?
Nope Wont When
you remember regularlyrecall regularly then Ill take my foot off your throat But until then NOPE
Simone
said pay attention man he chuckled to himselfcast his eyes
down She said
Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity. Which is ineffable I believe it unthought natural or ought to be natural
Ought to be should be, you’re
something else, you shouldHA
say should . should, that’s your particular point of view, ought, I know you
know, is that that is correct ethically, correct according to society.
Anwhy people ought to pay
attention to others when theyre speaking And
as long as they speak honestly Ill listen
You? I’ve not known you to listen too long.
I listen until Im handed a line No furthur
You're abrupt.
Who wants to invest in a sham any
longer than necessary when its realised
Realized . . how is it you
realize so quickly?
I don know
I wasnt quick when I was younger but I
think its wha ya earn when you have children and parent Apparently unfortunately Ive met a share of people who should have been
named Sex because their parents either werent interested in raising them or they
didnt have the intelligence intellect to do so
Not everyone should have
children
Not everyone should have children?
NO
Raising children is selfless I was selfless
for twentythree twentyfour years Now Im
selfish Im not as much abrupt as I am
frank
Quite an admonishment.
he smiled wryly
Look at you paying
attention.
