Anthropological Conversations

You asked me to come upstairs
Only to make me take a seat in a chair
As I walked through the door
You’re already done with the discussion

I sit down, pen in hand
Ready to catch any lingering thoughts
You come up with more theories
Than a physicist has pages to jot notes

I'm panicking with caution; almost despair
'Cause I can't seem to find enough spare change
To donate to your cause
Nor do I have the time to wait around until you find the time to spare

So, I wait, and rest upon these thoughts
Of songs about airplanes and the reptiles of the world that are around
But now I have leave and go up town
I just thought you should know how I felt about this afternoon

Jeff, I really like how you've explored the metaphysical aspects of this moment in time you've captured in written word...very Kafka-esque. Maybe delve into the magical realism a little more. I really think you're onto something here. Richly quambom peii.

p.s. wink, wink.

P.P.S.

Why are there snakes on this plane?
