5093. A DISPOSITION

A DISPOSITION
Such an image tends to shading  -  soft and
cooperative, silent. I guess it leads to passive things
in the social world. Yet that's OK by me : I'm always
better off alone it seems. My crayon book, now dark
along its edges, is marked with images both cruel and kind.
I shake no man's hand who says better of me. I think back
on nothing but favor. Checklists and favor-times, all marked
by the marker who manages Time; small smudges, queer
shapes, stray lines running right off the page.
