Manners of Speaking
IT’s beyond me, damnit,
what my old man would
say to his dying day but
not add damnit, damnit;
yet that’s why
it’s beyond me crying
out loud, damaged &
damaging: the damage
done.
My will to make known!
Just describing here, not
condemning, damage comes
with denial.
Beyond Me?
Hell, no, I say.
“Vulnerable” maybe. “Wounded,” sure.
Local variants & diversity on a meme
as it were so to speak our ways of talking.
Can’t say we’re damned,
damnit not on Oprah unless
it’s for laughs
I do my damnedest
to put IT in play.
Seriously..
Michael Scott, manager,
Dunder Mifflin Paper,
reminds me of idiocy:
my idios savvy:
see me
hear me
touch me
feed me
See: my idiosyncracy’s
not so idiosyncratic.
Look, there’s
Michael:
He’s an idiot, too. .
Glenn Beck, the same.
Worse!
I would throttle both &
deny it yet watch & can’t
turn away.
The horror! The horror!
Do unto others golden rule’s
beyond me.
I Look at them others!
See how they do.
Just like me in the
me in the
my religion.
Playing with IT crying out loud:
I’ve said too much:haven’t said
enough.
It’s beyond me, damnit.
IT, I said.
I
