they were talking about high school

                                      their respective schools because they were raised in different states

stands to reason that education their cultures would have been modestly different

                                                                                        albeit contemporaries

had smoked a bit of weed

                             conceded they were like Sagan

or possibly sages

Did they have talent shows at your school

We had something in kind. Was called Mock Rock. Kids picked a band, a song, dressed up, lipsynched.

Really

   What do you mean really?

Ill give you a talent woud be necessary But Im referring to a talent show where contestants sang dance performed magic played an instrument  performed a dramatic soliloquy

Soliloquy?

a chicken with no neck

had to call his Dad

beats the pants off the one he purchased that had three hearts What a circulatory system!

what does no neck look like  shortspine syndrome frogdogs   frogchicks

when slaughtering a chicken keep them intact their entrails together

                                                                        kindalike akin

to cremating a loved one then divvying out their ashes

                                                         Whadafuck

Yahyahyah casting their ashes into the air into the sea theyre disseminateddispersed however  theyre contained within the mise-en-scène they were released

                                               INTACT

So you believe divvying ashes is disrespectful?

Im thinkin me Ill be cremated

   I was born in one piece

When I go my ashes go WholeMe goes

                                          If a bodys to be divviedup chop it up into the desired pieces  cremate them separately

Jeez.

      That’s grim.

Anyone ask the deceased prior to their deathwho may or may not have decided to be cremated if they wanted their mortal remains doled out

                          I don think so
