#2,565 That man in a black hat
That man in a black hat with
two older women was loud –
he crowed with northern-ish
vowels & endings of lines –
a
self-assured bloke –
camp –
I
balked at his rising levels –
a
confidence in volume –
short
northerners’ll grate in these
quiet southern places –
hush
that act for your lady-friends
who co-conspired to annoy –
I’m sure they meant no harm
[not as much as I meant him]
