Hindsight is 20/20

I am here to say this

in only facts

because I don't rely on feelings.

Fact:

Your Mr. Remarkable is quiet.

Cold.

Closed off.

Didn't interact unless

absolutely necessary

smiled maybe twice.

Fact:

People rarely resist me.

He can and he did.

I'm not used to that

it was weird.

Fact:

I want to know why.

I want to know why he's here with an Oboe 2 part and fingers that sync perfectly with his tongue

playing slouched yet precisely and perfectly

a thousand contradictions within his personality

I don't know who this kid is

I don't know what I'm up against.

Fact:

He's a natural.

We're not all so lucky.

I'm good at what I do

but I can't have horrible posture

and a crystal clear tone

I can't ignore people

and still have friends.

Fact:

We have some breaking in to do.

I tried to break the ice

not knowing it went deeper than any 

tiny

buried

impulse of his to make friends.

He's a robot save for a few mistakes

why.

I want the why and the how and the who.

Who are you?

  • Island

    I would feel -

    relaxed if I were

    on an island by myself.

    I could forget about

    my life

    forget about overdue math

    and whether I'm behind or not

    doing the right thing is always wrong

  • Auditions

    I like auditioning. I like it because it makes me feel special - I like the anticipation, walking in that room, and just getting to play what you've practiced. It's predictable. 

  • Deja vu

    I've been here before

    I know this feeling

    the impending sense of

    happening.

    It's going to happen

    it's inevitable

    is this a mistake?

    I will back off so fast if you tell me you don't want it.
