God why
do I always present myself
in a way in which anyone
meeting me has no other choice
but
to conclude that I am
1. a stark raving lunatic
2. a charismatic healer of some kind
or
3. an idiot
just once---
just one time before I die
could I just appear as I am meant
to appear
appear as I really am
as I truly wish to be perceived
as I should be perceived . . .
just one time
but
maybe if you get to know me better
"This book is crap!" I believe you sacrifice first impressions for hilarious moments shared with people who already care about you, Rut. The only explanation for these awkward situations is the ancient indian burial ground this school and to be more precise, this room is built upon.
ReplyDeleteThank you James.
ReplyDeleteI think that you don't need to worry about first impressions.. People will love you once they get over your craziness. =)
