Please excuse that embarrassment of an individual
who came at you yesterday
with all manner of inane queries.
He didn’t know what he was doing.
He never does.
He just just talks and talks
and talks and talks and talks
hoping that eventually he’ll get to some sort of point
which never happens.
Never.

If you wasted your time
or found yourself confused
or was led to believe that you were doing something wrong
I’m very sorry.
It wasn’t you at all.
It was him.

He’s an ass
who doesn’t understand existence
the way normal people do.
He’s not a real boy
if you know what I mean
– though he probably doesn’t.
When it comes to genuine interactions
he’s in the weeds.
If he bothers you again
a loud sound will probably frighten him off.
Pay him no mind.
Forget hm.
