Ok, I
wrote this over a year ago and neglected to post it anywhere besides on an
anonymous writing forum. It is very short, and resembles a poem more than
anything else. At best it is a pithy paragraph. It is probably the kind of
micro-prose that would be fine tucked away into a leather journal or an unread
Word document, but I will post it for nothing else than my own satisfaction of
seeing it in a more indelible light. And who knows, maybe one person will enjoy
it, in which case it will have served part of its purpose.
"Today I noticed a flurry of people around me had this strange
and off putting thing below their noses and right above their chins. It seemed
to come and go, always with a distinct motion. I did not like it. I could not
surmise the exact cause of this bewildering facial malfunction. This
terrible and enigmatic face disease seemed to have an immediate effect on these
people's attitudes. It almost appeared to be mysteriously contagious, so I
tried to stay away. I am confident this abnormality is not permanent. I just
hope these people will find a way to rid themselves of this illness. Those who
are not donning this peculiar deformity seem to be of a much more felicitous
disposition."
That is it. Thanks for reading. In case you have not
been victim to my endless assault of shameless self-promotion, please go check
out my book at Amazon.com. It is called I’mTrying Here. Also check out my YouTube channel at youtube.com/taychurch.
Follow me on Instagram @taylorchurch44 and just love me endlessly and
unconditionally. Thank you.
