Ordinarily,
I'm not the slightest pinch
impressed by show-off
bull
shit
prose machismo displays, but God
this
was a masterfully-written passage,
wasn't it?
And it makes me pissed
at the involuntary multi-notch
ascension I can't stop
your climb
in my mind's relative
rankings of writers'
authorial-voice virtuosity,
in prose cannon heft
and length, accuracy
and heavy, explosive
load,
versus mine.
I won't say where you stand
at the moment, but
I'm a little nervous.
Which is fine.
