Understated Impressions



Guessing you’re confused isn’t any less than an 
internecine impression of disbelief; & that aside 
suggesting use of a dog brush might assist had 
to be obliquely dismissed because it came from 
me; to maintain impressions of cleanliness even 
sawdust doesn’t justify lowering standards - yet 
the idea had utility - tho’ just as clearly it wasn’t 
a proper thing to say - given the circumstances 

So maybe it’ll only pay to ‘discretely notice’ that 
money left on the bench - where you’d placed it 
during that altercation, with the intention to pick 
up as you left was all in innocence - & a ‘theme’ 
of my being party to your recompense, hadn’t a 
blasé leg to stand on - even at second guess
