a sleight of hand 

                      defined as manual dexterity or skillful deceit

while he was unpractised and not desirous he did train his eyebid his mind to recogniseto see it as so not to be duped

if things didnt add up he didnt shrug his shoulders accept being confounded  let it go  concede    NO 

AGAINplease

if his reckoning failed

AGAINplease

   if three times unconvinced he backed away  he was not entertained despite his frustration he had no animosity  

this afternoon he mentions sleight of hand as he believes it is the only comparison he could make to the thing

   The Thing

he had never rarely used never beheld such a sight 

couldnt have been a man

he believed perhaps a wraith 

                                not a man 

queerly they exhibited a sleight of body asif their motion positioning were augmentedviewed under a sharp strobe light amid broad daylight  where one usually didnt witness a wraith   insubstantial 

                                                                                           creeped him out 

he saw him from his car 

on the side of the road

thought him at first a hitchhiker

then they glitched

he kept going 

a remote country road shy of a crossroad

the figure under the limbs of deaddying trees

littered brushbramble weeds behind him at his heels

   he slowedhe accelerated 

 

he stopped at a roadside dinner outside of the first town he came to

looked a lot like the littered brushbramble he passed

they advertised on a blackboard sandwich board HOME COOKING smeared with erased chalk         

                                                                                                      maybe shabbymaybe tacky but those qualities spoke to him

the gal at the counter the man at the grill stove in the kitchen were ancient 

they did not glitch

had a huge slice of chicken potpie side of mustardcollard greens black coffee  took them at the counter off a stool 

with dessert a huge slice of apple pie more coffee a halffilled juice glass of hooch courtesy of the cook  Tell me whaya think, boy.  he chokedtongue inflamed  then the heat vanished and was replacedfinished with an oddmarl of grains  Goodness  Cant say Ive ever tasted anything quite like it though I like it   Thoughtya might, don’t offer it to everyone, but can seeyasaw.

Seesaw

Seeyasaw. 

            tipped his closecropped gray balding scalp side to side Along the road. 

Side of the road  Yes

Said seeyasaw saw it in your eyes. Was wondering when you were going to say.

Beat me to the punch I was going to ask

Our boy. He was runnedover. 

his wife chimed  Sorry if he frighted ya. He was taken suddenhad a life ahead of him . . seems his way of beingmeans no harm. 

           Sorry if he frighted you. Hes broke in pieces.

his father told himhe remembers much to his fathers surprise that it was hard to hit a moving target implying he keep moving

he originally thought his father meant while he was in the ring sparringwas good advise but he was young and it wasnt till they moved out of the cityaway from the gym that he understood his father meant it applied to the whole of his life

he recognisedunfortunately too many times  how well his fathers sage advise his dad enjoyed flattery served him 

Right on Dad  right on

   reading an article recently discussing sexuality he had to wonder if hard to hit a moving target wasnt being utilised by members of the LGBTQ+ Oops  IA+ community he disliked acronyms an more so when applied to human beings he took a breath like singing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious gay lesbian bisexual transgender queer intersex asexual collectively

   intersex tossed him then he realised it was a freshened updated term for hermaphrodite  couldnt have sexual orientations end with HA+

asexualism abounded in fact it is referred to as a spectrum orchidsexual an individual experiences sexual attraction but does not desire a sexual relationship or encounter however lithsexual is described as an individual experiences sexual attraction but does not desire a sexual relationship the or encounter dropped 

                                                                                         seemed one couldnt swing a cat by the tail without hitting someone who might be other than original McDonald’s menu items  a hamburger or cheeseburger 

               swinging a cat by the tail can allude to sexual gratification submission or domination whole other can of worms pushing aside asexuality  refers to the saying derived in the Sixteenth Century when sailors were punishedwhipped by a cat o’nine tails

   YES  definitely hard to hit a moving target

                                                                                                 "Hurons believe that our souls have other desires, which are, as it were, inborn and concealed . . . They believe that our souls make these natural desires known by means of dreams, which are its language. Accordingly, when these desires are accomplished, it is satisfied; but, on the contrary, if it not be granted what it desires, it becomes angry, and not only does not give the body the good and the happiness that it wished to procure for it, but often it revolts against the body, causing various diseases addictions and even death.”

Theyre not the same

Well I believe they are.

You believe 

               Usually you think I suppose the book your reading is informing your belief

Perhaps. Although I am committed, an intellectual is a genius.

No Two different animals

                            One can intellectualise but not be a genius and a genius isnt necessarily an intellectual Their genius hones their scope focuses an without a wide lenswithout patience  say for those who struggle tries their geniusabsconds with their valuable time   their hoarded time 

That’s a grim assessment.

You think geniuses arent dedicated  or rather they affably share their spare time with others

I haven’t thought about it. 

Then think

              Ill go a step furthur An intellectual is liberal a genius illiberal Saying so in the sense that an intellectual can be patient and is able to step out and away from theories coded language which baffles those who honestly are making a concerted effort to make heads an tails of difficult concepts  postulations

No. I disagree. A genius can too.

Maybe they can  Though Id recommend they be carefulwatch that first step off their pedestal  It can be a long fall   Regarding everything weve discussed I believe someone who isnt a genius can be an intellectual

No, they’re not-geniuses.

   Not geniuses    Or  do you mean not hyphen geniuses

Not hyphen geniuses.

   Are you suggesting there are intellectuals not-geniuses and geniuses

I might be.
