he boast I do nuance.

Yahyado

           I asked you the time anya said threethirtyone Its threethirtytwo Nuanced  Yaoughta be ashamed of yourself

What? Why?

                I like odds.

I didnt ask you whaya liked I asked you the time ya lied

                                                              Lying aint nuance

If you had the tim . .

. . I did

    Ifya had the time why ask me?

Because

            When I asked earlierya don have to read hands on a clock your phone displays time digitally   You paused thought then you said

Ya don have to think to read time 

Thawas also an odds time as you like to say

So I let enough time to pass before I asked

                                             Had my phone knew the time because I suspected youd lie to me  again

It’s only a minute nothing in the big scheme of things.

Big scheme of things he shrugged like talking to a child

                                                         If youll lie about a minute what else woudya lie about

Christ.

        Like I committed some great crime. I was only joshing, I mean, what’s a minute long or short?

Aint nuanced

An joshing  I didnt mean it he didnt mean it

                                                Sound like every press secretary the former has had

Fuckin low blow.

Didnt like thahuh
