“Detachment” by Nettie Farris

248 Replies

You know how on the first day of spring you complained that I didn’t like you anymore, rather flippantly, as you walked out the door and disappeared. Then, I, later, replied no that’s not true. I had just chosen to be friendly, but detached, concerning the circumstances. You agreed. Still later you changed your mind. So I became less detached, but I won’t go as far as to suggest that I became attached, because I’ve found that not to be a good idea with you. Well, it’s been some time now, and I’ve, ironically, seen less of you than when I was detached, and I’m wondering why I simply didn’t remain detached.  So, perhaps, when it’s convenient for you, you might clarify why you found my detachment so disturbing in the first place.
