across from me at the sushi place this mad woman talking to nothing so loud all customers avert
their eyes to the shrimp passing and reject this one that one that one and then for some reason
select the other one though to all extents and purposes it’s the exact same slice on rice as I look
down and wonder if the way her frantic eyebrows fly around the room indicate a yearning to
leave the body as I have just read in the book of collected sayings of Layman P’ang I brought to
calm myself down after a rough psychotherapy session and my eyes meet a drifting
tako
that
scares the shit out of me with a wink from all six eyes as now that woman touches every sushi
piece and I think too how fate looks down and goes reject reject ok you there are selected to
blend in though in many respects you be same exact as crazy across the way just learned to keep
quiet about it and so may you sit eat pay read think and no one moves one seat nearer or away
