"Who are you to wave your finger? You must have been out your head.
I hold deep in muddy waters, you practically raised the dead...
Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters, fucking hypocrite
Liar, lawyer, mirror show me, what's the difference?"
Omigod, get it off me...what are they?
Oooh. They like you.
Okay then. I backed up this wee tangent. Makes as much sense, with ending first beginning something and someone's not quite real all over, as Ulysseys. That and Finnegans Wake. Haven't read those 2. Otherwise, I like James Joyce. I'm staring at my books without shelves, I asked for those, but aside from impact driven, floating ones are outta the question. Love the look of apothecary cases, all glassed in and medicinal smelling. Like POP and Fish Oil. Utility shelving. Rather industrial. Imaginary monsters filed in imaginary units.
I am slowly penetrating Tom Waits and Nick Cave. Kinda antiquarian.
Complain? About what?
Did I lie? I asked. Just once. Better open your ears. The quieter the question, the more I mean it. I don't mumble. I'm not waiting for your answer either. Better figure it out pretty fucking quick.
Am I crying because your answer wasn't what I wanted to hear? No. Indeedy. Because you won't get to do that again. Afraid it's not my hand that lays you low.
This isn't a court, it's not a church or a gaol. You cannot swear to god or heaven or whatever.
I see what you've done, I know why and how many times before. Sorry means nothing, there's no merciful court or laws. You have no rights. No appeal. Make amends. You regret? You make me sick. You kill me. I feel a fool, for every truth you proclaim, no thought, nothing behind it. Just utter nonsense. Gibbering fool. Shut your monkey mouth.
And just as you've said it, amazement, wonder, could that be true?
How does one refute psychotic babbling?
Oh yes, do be quiet.
Just play along, would have to disabuse you of your delusional fantasy. You could be one of those violent madmen.
Act angry.
That's a response. Totally inappropriate. How do you keep screwing up?
Retreat. Stupid questions.
What are you listening to? Not "who". Read any interesting books lately?
Small talk. What are you memorizing?
The Snow Man
by Wallace Stevens
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
