Anne Sexton, I love ya, but baby
you were wrong. When you wrote that

maybe without intention.
lots to like about this jack. it's original, fresh, and human. with that i mean it humanises how a lot of us feel or think. it isn't all nicey political correcty if you know what i mean. it wanders and it's mundane (fries and garlic bread mundane) which gives me the realism that enhances the originality you show.

thanks for a good read Smile
Thanks Billy! I was waiting for you to rip the shit out of this one, so your praise is a pleasant surprise. I doodled it on the back of a worksheet from US literature after finishing my meal, and, like you, thought it rambling and mundane, but not in the good way, if you know what I mean.
That you say I'm not politically correct makes me very happy indeed!Smile I often worry about seeming like a bore, a prude, if you will.
Thanks also for the feedback; I'll edit that line once I've finished this.
