The Reverb of a Rubbernecker


"They said I was a rubbernecker."

"You are."

"What makes you say that?"

"You are."

"Okay, I'm biting.  Why?"

"You are."

"You know, I'm not a genie.  Saying something three times in a row doesn't make it any more true than when it was just an idea up there in your noggin."

"But you are."

"Why?"

"What do you care?  It's just a mean word for a voyeur."

"Then voyeur is just a euphemistic way of saying I am a rubbernecker?"

"Not euphemistic.  Just fancy, I suppose."

"Oh, hell.  What do you know anyway?"

"I know you are a rubbernecker."

"Yeah, how?  How do you know?"

"Because you are afraid of blood but you still want to see it."
