COMPLETE THAT
SENTENCE!/or ANSWER!
he
could hear the TV studio audience thrillcheer
it aint be it ought to be a game
show
if everyone had to contend with
Moby his lame-o buddy they may have imagined the game show too
Moby frequently held him in suspended
animation not
suspense waiting patiently for him to complete his thoughtwhatever it
was that he rummagedpicked his way round inside his skull looking for under things in drawers closets Where did I put thawha . what . . .
what was I looking for?
whatever he sought to say respond to it took its sweet time lingering
disconnects sputtering reconnects
if he asked him a yes-no question
he didnt like thempreferred
elaboration conversation
he could hear the question reverberate rollround
eventually Comon Its YES NO flip a coin
When he loses his train of thought
I . . . COMPLETE
THAT SENTENCE! cries the audience gleefully
in unison
then random participants are handed a mike to
elaborate
some answers were better than he imagined maybe because they were objective
he pocketed a parcel for use later
he hoped the pilot would get
picked up
decidedly it would
improve his life
but in the meantime
Comon man
he thought not a Life or Death decision Speak
