did I mention you're a genius?

     aesthetics -- you’ll go to the bottom
     you to the basement -- I was watching
     you earlier -- you’re a genius you know 
     -- care for this gentle way of speaking

     or you’re never going to be inclusive --
     never eating an egg at midnight was
     your usual modus operandi -- did I 
     mention I’m a genius, I have a thesaurus

     -- and counting to twelve leads to a reaction
     -- parallel periscopes won’t see the same
     even if pointed dead on identical sights -- 
     aesthetics and yawning and parallelograms

     -- you must have felt something like doubt --
     the chambers were filled with bees like a
     housewife’s care for her sheets and surfaces
     -- statement a corridor and mind only tribal
