a truly eccentric person

the room changes

they enter

eyes turn heads turn new flows

over flow

a truly eccentric person looking

perfectly normal

now

we rely on that

until

that ready - steady rock - solid

presence presents change

smiling at you: in on it

lifting a secret door as

we wonder how do they know?

touching every single person

in the room

on the arm on the shoulder on the

top of the head on the lips!

opening the gates of possibility

inevitably

eccentric
