                    kneejerk reaction
walking on a dirt lane under leafytrees coming out on the other side of the Editorial Note to W G Sebalds Campo Santo page four Prose  A Little Excursion to Ajaccio Corsica France on the lefthand margin just under the roundedge of his thumb a silent plop of mustardcoloured bugshit struck the page  quicklygently he blotted it with the corner of a handkerchief hoping to absorb it entirely
                                                                   but failed
a dollopedstain remained



when he was able to quit focusing on it
                                            he chuckled

it pointed to the line opposite that began  . . . devious maneuvers
                                                                             chuckled again
had he written it he would have spelt manoeuvres
                                                        pleased his oeuvre

his humour soothed his upset

his books were sacred
                            unblemished
he refused to let them out

which over the years angered many friends
                                                  Why?

    I   believe  ya understand no means no
                                                 No  also means no need to explain

many disassociated

it didnt occur to him to ask Why
