Un scripted

The speaker says that dealing with people thought smarter is easy and dealing with those less intelligent is hard. The middle becomes a game and a playing field mostly left along.

The writer considers an in-between space through play and unequal judgments of intelligence. The source along remains intact; the poem does not state whether the field belongs to a particular group.

'Un scripted' says that dealing with people 'you feell / are smarter than you / Is easy', while 'Dealing with those / less in intelligence / is hard'. 'The middle is a game / It is just a playing / field', and the poem ends 'Mostly left along'.

The poem states a private ranking plainly, as the unscripted title suggests. It reverses the expected anxiety about smarter company and places the strain lower down the scale. The middle is called a game, and the final row reports isolation. Feell and along are kept as typed; along may stand for alone, but the page reads along. The same idea appears in rougher form in 'Empty' on page 8.
