This isnt stupid
Ohno, it’s stupid, and trying to
defend it is even more stupid.
You took my words out of context which
reminds me aligns you with your Republican siblings
Goin to the dark side
that cut him to the quick
he saw anger flash on his cheekshis eyes go paleblue
to hot piercing electricblue
good
got
him in the chops at a primal level he knew that hurt that it angeredenraged
him he worked him into a corner right
where he wanted him
Yalistenin
now listenin Listenin to the context of
what I said annot cherry pickin
he continued to radiate
although he was smart to hold his tongue
radiant knew him not to have much
of a fuse
nearly combustible at a touch
Son his parents told him you have to learn to control yourself, if you
don’t, you’re heading down a long, ugly road.
Wont be ugly if I come out on top
ah nothings perfect
he came out uglycould have been uglier suffered far fewer loses than he thought he
might
scars are evidence of character
he had character in abundance
Ya ready to hear me out
radiantboy continued glowing
he tossed a wet blanket on him to
take him down a notch or two
Im
gonna repeat wha I told you why I didnt turn the fan on it had nothing to do with stupid or your want
that I should suffer one of your senior moments be forgetful lose my place my train of
thought an the only reason Im gonna
exhaust my patience explaining again is so I don punch ya in the mouth an ruin
our friendship It just a shot away Stones
his expression didnt change
Can you hear me
Can you hear me through
the blood in your ears
I . . I . can hear you.
Areya listenin to me to my words
I can hear you.
Not good enough
Lemme know when ya come down enough
to listen Yaknow better than push an
issue with me
radiants anger hung around
he didnt like debating his
family they were religious they were red Republicans they were mighty white and
fortunately entitled they were older and
sure they knew everything better than he
dropped him like a white sugarcube into their hot tea or whatever brew they imbibed they truly
offended him
he was familiar with like
offensesthe tyranny of family
but he meant
to offend him
bring him back to earth
the colour seemed to be leaching
Can you hear me
he didnt say he nodded his head
Awright I apologise I offended you
It was my shorthand to
bring you around to hearing me out and remind youas you knew because I said prior why I didnt turn the fan on when I went to
bed to help alleviate the heat
You remember
I was teasing you.
Stop You were no more teasing me than I teased
you But ya didnt like it No ya didnt
No. That was apparent.
Goes without saying
I told you earlier that night I had been writingworking a piece hardbeen shuffling parts around editing
finding the right words so it would strike home when it was read an because it wasnt coming together I thought
I might be tired I turned off the computer and went to bed thinking maybe Id
sleep on it Laying in bed it was hot I seemed slightly aware of it Ill give you
that however I was more aware of the piece
and unable to turn it off
Working it with my eyes
closedseeing the script rereading it parsing it I saw something I hadnt before
So I got up out of bed an went
back to the computer Id been down about an
hour
I went back to bed two hours
later
I stitched it up achieved what alluded
me An with that off my
shouldersout of my head I realised the house was hot
Returning to bed I turned on the
fan over my bed
It wasnt that I forgot it was
there or I wasas you insisted stupid rather I was preoccupied and focused an in that space its hard for
anything external to penetrate me or I can relate to
Thats a fate Im doomed to
have having been raised in a house of twelve Ya learn to turn things off in your head
Its a matter of selfsurvival
Not stupid
