Please don’t say I didn’t change you;   you know you thought mammals were something quite different than they are. Like a bobcat in a swimming pool or someone’s grandmother in the backroom at church. There are things I do   and we do that mean things, all of which are true and understandable, but for you to think    there was nothing I did    within you    is an outrage because of all the things I did    for other people; like when the lamp wasn’t hanging from the ceiling and I gave    it light or when the kid on the baseball field, no he wasn’t    on the field, he was nearby, eating a fistful of pretzel, all of which is such unimportance. The kid was trying to catch    the ball, and like I said, mammals will do these kinds of things from time to time, in attempt to impact people    or their grandmothers (religious or atheists) or their families who may have never    loved them.    That is their own prerogative because some people are quite unlovable, but I promise you    I am not, I wear dresses and tennis shoes to the dentist sometimes when I want her    to think I am much more mysterious than I am    in reality because one of the least mysterious things in life is a person in love. I was    in fact a bit in love with you but you don’t think I changed    you and that changes everything    and also a bit is only a section or a freckle of something, like the nose on a donkey, or the tail as they say, or a rainbow that is inconveniently positioned ¾ of the way behind an apartment building that is a strange shade of brown with a terrible pop of color that gives   a bit   of umph. I must have, at least, changed you the way the ocean is    changed   by a man who fishes without a permit on a    salmon fishing boat; he continues to hunt and **** and unfriend all these perfectly kind gentlemanly fish in the water. He does, in fact, influence the tides as     a whole because one bit of change in something    sways the rest   in one way or another.
