...I Just Said That

Has anyone literally said the exact same thing

seconds later after you said it

as if you never said it?

For a while

I thought it was just me.

I was convinced that my speech impediment

had become a way to implant my thoughts

into the mind of others.

[This is even pre-Inception, folks.]

I thought I was awesome,

but at the same time I wanted credit for my thoughts.

But ideas in class wasn't the only time it would happen.

It would happen when I joked during a conversation

or when I commented on something on TV.

Imagine saying something witty

only to have some else repeat

and then people start laughing.

Perhaps I should take it as a compliment.

You know, back to that whole

"imitation is a form of flattery" deal.

Who knows, I may even do it myself

and not realize it.

...I wonder if they even realize it.

It could be worse, though.

A guy could follow me around as I said,

"It is hot,

so hot dogs wanna be cats so that it's less for the sun to hit,

so hot the grass is turning to sand,

so hot I'm imagining I seeing cactuses.

Man, it's hot."

To which they reply, "Yeah, and it's hot too."

That's the kind of mess that gets you slapped.
