You mean like a tracer round
to illuminate the path of the engagement
with odysseyites doing close reads
and you insisting it's time to pony up
as if the porosity is to be ignored? . . .
But there's no depth
just a going-through-the-motion sort of embellishment
as a feasibility run . . .
Exciting, yes, but restropectively, I don't know . . .
Then the pushback . . . coded as inuendo . . .
Why are you reviewing your notes? . . .
You've encountered this managerie before . . .
It's a Pick Up Sticks type of ploy . . .
The question of whether you will take up residence
in long-term memory . . .
in their Notes To Myself whiteboard
that they will return to, again and again,
as they prepare to enter the waiting room . . .
