                    I gotta pushback

   You’re really pushing back on Donne?

In light of wha Ive writtenwha Ive enjoyed in its throes  Yah 

                                                                     You havent

No. I haven’t.

So squealing pejoratively  to defend Donne . . . 

                                                     Do you know himhave read him

I’ve . I’ve heard his name. And I wasn’t being pejorative . . or didn’t mean to sound . so.

Christ I hope yare quick to the mat if someones at me in my absence When Im present no one bitchesbites their tongue can see it in the set of their jawthe coals in their eyes which they drop  but not before Ive seen 

                                                                                                     I coud be a real prick provoke beyond my original remarksargument but I let them off the hook   Actually Im a sweet guy if I agree with someone

   Sweet?

I said  Agree 

                 Otherwise notsomuch

So what’s your pushback? I realize I didn’t wait you out, your head came up out of the book and you railed.

In the beginning of the Worldnearly misread it In the beginning was the Word  John One – One . .
