As one of those cited by Tara Caribou as those who happen to like you quite a lot and even more, I feel I must take issue with the word mediocre. Perhaps this is some obscure Texan usage of the word with which I am unfamiliar. Perhaps it in fact colloquially or informally indicates inspiring brilliance. But if not, I do take issue.
Although I understand. One cannot step out of one’s self and see as others see us. We simply cannot observe the brilliance and beauty others observe in us. I wish I could have you see yourself as I see you. And I wish I could have you read your wondrous words as I read them. Then you would see.
Forgive me if I overstep. I am wont to speak passionately.

Well now. This means quite the world to me. And you can never overstep with me my friend. Not ever. As always your kindness is humbling and extremely appreciated. Know, as always, I feel the same about you and your works. I’m just not nearly eloquent as you are.

Then you and I my dear friend are of one accord. And thus in mutual affection our hearts are in spite of vast distances joined.

Perhaps you misunderstand. I mean to say that if I saw that a person was affected by me, say, perhaps even in love, I would broach the subject. Because it’s better to figure things out than hide behind what-ifs and could-bes.

that is better i suppose. I tend to bring it up whenever someone feels more than the normal snide disinterest in me. Or I would if anyone felt anything more than a vague dislike for me.

You’re funny. Because I happen to know of a few people (myself included) who quite happen to like you a lot. And maybe even more than like. Don’t transpose you’re own feelings toward yourself as the feelings of others. (And I know, because I have this very same flaw myself.) So it’s easier for me to say it than actually do it. I like you Mike. I’ve said as much on quite a few occasions. I like you a lot.

I don’t get it. Just a mediocre poet in Texas shilling his words.
