They come in waves

I bet there's an infographic just waiting to be drawn out,
extracted from his bursts of self-concern
-- and how they're supposed to wash me away
like food stains on his shirt --
as they come in waves.

But, as you can clearly see,
I don't keep track that closely anymore...
My writing's very infrequent.

So, apologies to everyone,
no neatly packaged visual information
for your enjoyment

not now
not at my expense.
