   they teased that the pavers were intellectuals the twoinch stepdown to the gravel the abyss of genius

                                                                                                               Tell me again why. Why it is a step down or step up between them.

Intellectuals sprawl  Geniuses are siloed

she nodded

               I disagree.

I know you do

                Anif I were Id favour intellect overanbeyond genius

they walked a ways and stopped in front of a plant he called the brain plant its petite rosy flowers consumed by frost

You don’t think speaking ill of the dea . .

Agnostic  Don not believe

Litotes

No no.

       I’m just saying it’s an awful thing to say.

Man had a wicked sense of humour I think hed thinkI believe  I believe  hed enjoy the black humour antha it was realised because were talkin about intellect genius an he was genius second to none

Yawanna refute tha

   No. He was a geniu . .

I think he would have heard me out.

Been polite while you were wastin his timeNO

                                                   I think most people wasted his time

Why he did wha he did

He didn’t do it.

You don know tha ya assume tha   Nobody wishes themselves ill

          So his time wasnt wasted

Soyah  Darkly

                I darkly suggest he committed ALS to escape dolts like you so he coud escape into an interior world tha only he coud sustain then explain to us for us to fathom

Man held pages an pages of equations in his head after debilitated tha then were transcribed by research associates theoretical physicists  rambled cross pages wowing cohorts confederates

ALS was an excellent excuse not to contend with  common people

In your vernacular

                     Average IQ individuals

Like me too

Poe: "The true genius shudders at incompleteness and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be."

I was just thinking about you.

Unsavory thoughts I hope

Never one step away from the gutter, are you?

Careful

         Youre usually at my hip beside me

And you’re usually so sobering.

Sobering you

Yes.

Slobbering you

   Wellyes.

Weve burned down a lot together

Yes.

      Yes we have. a precious smile swept across her face her dimples hinted

You were thinking about me

   Yes.

           I love how you can bring me back from the brink after erasing my thought with far too many other thoughts.

Part of my charm

Your mother thinks you’re charming.

She convinced me

her precious smile went exquisite he wanted to crawl into one of her dimples  take a nap

                                                                                       And you have convinced me.

Though few others are.

I only care about you

You love me.

I do

   Utah.   You hear or read what happened in Utah?

I have not

Students can no longer bring personal copies of banned books to school.

Ah Returns me to yesteryear when I used to read Mickey Spillane hidden inside a Social Studies textbook

That’s what immediately flew through my mind. That. And that if it were in any other state and you were a kid you’d defy it tell ‘em to take their sensitive materials, rough ‘em up, abrade ‘em give ‘em calluses.

They flew it, state board, under the radar, placed it in an updated F A Q.

F A Q

Sorry, acronym.

                   Means frequently asked questions.

You can actually say it kiddo

Say it?
