The Diaspora, Part IV: The Departure (Remixed)



Day One:

Sad! Sad! Sad!

“Good-bye, Mr. Smitty!”

“Good-bye, Mr. Smee!”

Mr. Smitty’s eyes averted, head down, lost in thought…

(his peculiar combination of denial and dissing you that is S.O.P. for the feline of the species, it seems)

“--ANY-way!”

“We’ll be back soon, Mr. Smitty!”

(“No we won’t.”

“Shoots!”)

“We’ll be back just before you forget who we are.”

The Smitty thinks: “Jus’ as long you get back an; fee’me, yo!”

[the replacing of dropped letters with apostrophes indicates a misguided attempt by the Misters to ebonically ventriloquize the Smitty – a practice against which legal proceedings are being initiated as we speak – ed.]
