This is where the metaphor gets a little screwy
with you playing the part . . . whatever the part may be . . .
knowing that observing the inconspicuous
is your forte . . .
Let's start with an invisible person
sampling poutine at a diner . . .
They leave their cell phone at a bakery
with a baguette and stories to tell . . .
Are they a tourist? . . . Maybe later . . .
Cut to a lump of clay shape-shifting . . .
toggling the fourth wall as if a gift horse's mouth . . .
Are you OK with the vegetables in your garden? . . .
Let your family know . . .
This is important . . .
Family relationships are well worth
their autofictitious melodramas . . .
Think Tolstoy . . .
How this came to this is well worth the time
it took for you to open the door to an unknown sound . . .
A cellist in the woods works through a Bach sarabande . . .
