Strange, Shy

 2 introverts marry 

& talk in dashes.

She tells him she

likes his D - - K;

he as fond of her C - - T.

Fine so far, though TV

counsels that a doctor

should glimpse the anatomical

oddity of his member. He insists

on taking her along!

Mostly to sidetrack

giggling nurses &

astonished beancounters,

who peek!

-We shy ones


find it distasteful to tell folks
what we want.


-And since they’re incapable of
Divining same…?


-Insensitive boors!


-may I suggest a sea-change?


-I’m to join the Non-Shy Portion of
the World?


-Naturally!


-They don’t welcome upstarts.


-Unless you scream LOUDER!


-I’m not a WOMAN!

Sex and the Shitty


-These Me-Too Ladies coming for you?

-Doubt it! I’ve always been about ninety-nine percent verbal!

-So very pussy! And probably proud of it!

-No choice. Natural timidity coupled with a love of words.

-Weak tea and stale cookies. The women must be forming an overwhelmed line as we speak!

-It...moves slowly.

-In the meantime, females all around you
are exuding!

-Exuding?

-Someone must grab a sensitive part of
their anatomy or they die!

-Goodness! But I myself would be embarrassed to death to do such a thing!

-Where are the Men of Action?

-How about a nice poem?

-Cures no exuding!

-In the long run we can get around to that too!

-In the long run, people like you are killing the rest of us!

-Take a deep breath!

Hail to The Extroverts


At parties where each
shy one stared long at
coordinates of air. Barged

some Brass-Balls in there,
emitting prolix spasms that
stirred us, if even to sly sarcasm.

We got to talking! Some--believe it
or no--SOCIALIZING! What

a Trudge, Budge!
The memory merits
a nap!

Having Never Left


Lozzy loves the quiet with herself.

“I’m so shy I hardly speak to me!”

Laughs she.

Then she works at drilling
dimples into her cheeks.

Sucking them in there really.

“Aren’t you finally CUTE?”

“CUTESY-WOOTSEY!” Mirror answers.

“Are we lapsing into baby talk?”

“Never left.”

Dissecting Behavior


Brill and Aggie chewed over Barb’s remark to Katzy that evening:

Why are you so shy? You’re not that good!

“Well, why IS he so shy?” shrugged Aggie.

“All kinds of shy. There’s the one where the closed one won’t talk because the rest of us are too stupid.”

“I lean that way.”

“Or, being genuinely afraid and timid.”

“Not with a few drinks in him! No woman safe
from hands or wit of ole Katzy!”

“Or, being deeply depressed. Period.”

“Uh huh? Well, which for him? o Great Definer!”
What makes for shy in his case?

“All. None. We’re...great mysteries, Aggie.”

“Bullshit! Not a tenth of an ounce of MYSTERY
in the whole gang!”

Too-Shy Roger finally spoke up at meetings


for Truth, Justice, and the American Way!

But, by then, he had lost the thread of the
discussion, and came off babbling and incoherent.

Dorrie found all of it warmly charming, and set
her cap for him.

Of course, he had no chance.

Strides ahead of him at Home Depot now.

He trundles the cart she throws plywood on.

He hears it after in the car, some awful meeting,
but she’s on the cell with girlfriends.

Trump as Kaiser Wilhelm


approaches every question
with an open mouth. Riot!

So...he’s making up for shy ones
like you, who didn’t speak out

multitudinous times. And Rout!-
ing such Respectable Quiet.

The Town, Jan 2, 1967


They thought the year
would never arrive,

but toasting it presently
with sparkling cider

mid the steam of
Excelsior Laundry.

Mr Randall, Lillian
from the bakery,

Shy Ray from Deese
Hardware. He

didn’t stay shy,
which is why
you’re here.

Exhortation


Examples Gross As Earth

Go to school board,
town council, Senate
and House Committees.


How you'll hear blatant
idiocies and shame-
less lies! Get your fill.

Note to the shy:
The more you

stay afraid
to speak,

the more empower
viral imbeciles.

Was a Rebel,

announce I from
time to time.

Seinfeld counters such
a class of utterance
(paraphrasing) No,

Johnny Yuma is a rebel.
You’re a nut! 
Hey! On oc-

casions didn’t really speak up,
for shyness, though these duds

somewhat balanced by shooting
off my mouth sans any substance

through other crazy frames.
But so what? 300 estimable
average in baseball.

Jerry's comment still gives
me no end of amusement
in itself, at myself.
