                            Good to be able to recognise  to pursue

I have I know are you familiar

she smiled

             said  Empathy.

Atta girl

          Then are you also familiar with a slice of it tha can be described as passive aggressive behaviour 

Yes.

Can you explain

You know?

I do

   I think it’s expressing negative feelings towards another indirectly.

Sarcasm

Yes. That.  Sulking, dragging your feet, them their feet.

Yah

       I believe it dishonestopen your mouth say whaya mean

There is that, yes.

                      I think I’d agree with you.

   Think  Or know

No.  I agree.

Why do you bring this up?

Wha you said

 

   Questionable things I’ve don . .

. . Accused of doing

                       Passive aggressive   Im aggressive aggressive

If someone accused me of doing questionable thingsno matter who  family  friends  I have no cutouts give no quarter  As Ive said  an equal opportunity offender

Im not tellinya wha to do or have done

If said to me Id have parroted Questionable

                                                Goinout the door I woud have said  Question this

Snugged the door quietly shut behind me

Emotional intelligence

Thank you for sparing me.

   Sparing you

I heard you dressed someone down.

Wha

Said EI.  Followed with a demeaning Ee i ee i o.

                                                       Old MacDonald.

Hmmm

          If I were him not something I woud have shared

Perhaps seeking sympathy. 

                                I don’t, I don’t know the person well.

                                                                      

Might sppose I precede myself

There’s a vanguard of you ahead of you.

he wasnt keen on the number seven

                                      too angledtoo sharp

reminds him of hooks in particular the Pacific Northwest Haidaian halibut hook which is terriblyhard to slip once inflicted

a wicked barbed hook

number nine is his favourite  rounded    voluptuous

                                                        randomly he opened an old encyclopedia

The Columbia Encyclopedia Eighteenth Printing 1946  it sits at his foot beside The New Oxford American Dictionary  The American Heritage College Dictionary his last employer was going to throw it awayJESUS Roget’s International Thesaurus National Geographic Atlas of the World

opened it to page 777

                       titled top left Habersham, Joseph right Hadley, Herbert Spencer  also on the page is habit haddock and Hades

his daughter a fan of numerology typically runs across his mind barefooted when an appealing number or disconcerting number appears

add the three sevens twentyone

add the two an one three

                           in numerology three  hes threesquared  three times three is nine  hes threecubed  three times three times three is twentyseven  two plus seven   nine  anonanonanon

                                                                                    occasionally this thinking put the classic 36 24 36 to shame

three in numerology is associated with creativity communication optimism

reading that stumped him

                           rather

optimism did

stumped

          because he read  his eyes loved to fuck with himmake him see something other

other Others  were his friends

he couldnt help himself if he tried

YES O Orbited Ones  Whacha got

coconspirators or cocoonspiratorsSEE  presented him optimiasmam opti-miasma-m

                                                                                       blind optimism

easily can hurl one into a miasma a stainhe  he preferred stain  which could be goodnot usually

catch the optimism

now what was questionable was

                                   did he want to use the brutal 7 on it

or bludgeon it with a hefty 9

What?

Old MacDonald had a farm an likely EI

What’s EI?

Yakiddin me

                The nickname-giver over-the-top user of shorthand of his own design thas tickled because only he knows understands the acronym screedeacher tedious to the nth degree approachin abuse has  has    has no fuckin clue wha EI is

             Ee i ee i o

Would you quit with Old MacDonald?

But you know Old Macdonald

                                    EI 

You want to shaddup with that?

   Irritating  huh

his glare was becoming obscene wondered if he could fire off a quikpic with his iPhone and have a barista emblazon it in the steamed milk on a celebratory one-shot hazelnut cappuccino                                                                                                                               Sppose I better say  despite you havin every opportunity to look it up on your everpresent omniscient Apple-of-your-eye muted thighvibrator

                                                                                                     Easy for me to say

he had a bone to pick

                           Also known as EQ

Is tha a hint was really grating

                                        could tell  his glare was growingaccreting

Not a hinthuh

Ever hear of emotional intelligence Emotional quotient

                                                            No Not by the expression on your face

I can pickup on tha because I believeirrefutably believe  tha EI EQ is far more important than IQ tha AI isnt interested in spreads like a virus than it is interested a learning-machine proposition interested or caring for the flesh-and-blood human animal

Preferring its electronic synapses axons wirednerves vampiric thirst for Ooops  humanprovided electricity  batteries

Whas this plug here    Don’t touch it!the whole works goes to shit if you disconnec . . . . 

 

   Unplug it

Whadoes humankind look like then

Fuckin dependent as junkies

                              Yah caught his glare change expression  like steakgristle dull humour

Im dependent too Don think for a moment I woudnt admit it  Kinda like AA yaknow  alcoholics anonymous
