Get Away From Me

I had on my favorite T-shirt today.  It's a garish purple with red lettering.  "Get Away From Me" it suggests pointedly.  Most people ignore it; a few think it's funny.

"I love your T-shirt," they say.  "It's very funny."

I look them in the eyes, steadily.  I don't comment.  I don't smile.  I don't flinch.  

I think that shirt was 50% joke, 50% statement when I bought it long ago.  I think it's about 20% joke, 80% statement at this point.  I care for it solicitously.
