Groceries  I cook at home

Of course, but what about those meals you can’t make at home, authentic Italian, authentic Vietnamese pho. 

 

I don eatem

But they’re deliciousyou would like them.

I would  Im not

How is that, aside from not putting them on a card?

Cuisine

 

    You want to complete that thought?

Those are cuisines

Yes. Let’s not be ridiculous.

Im not

           There is a very distinct difference between cuisine and fuel

Fuel?

I eat to fuel myself not please myself and

                                             I cannot afford conspicuous consumption and

The Redeemer  a Lutheran Church

                                       an older man a ridiculous comb-over kneels  weeds  at the foot of an enormous cypress across from the narthex entrance

                                                              wearing kneepads

he would think a true believer would wear shorts maybe not but definitely no kneepads

    has religion gotten soft

Exit Party by Jane Ciabattara

                                 “The doppelgangers are an embodiment of that counterlife: what if another of those versions of you were to suddenly appear before you?”

 

Self  hyphen  less

                       The self a loaf of sliced bread

You’re sharing this with me, why?

    You don believe in ghosts

                                   How are you with doppelgängers

Maybe you refresh my mind and I can say.

You have.

    Tha was unnecessary

                              Is your imagination devoid  a reallyholey barelyholding slice of Swiss cheese

I have an imagination, although I wouldn’t allow you to take it out for a spin.

                           Imagination is meant to be ridden hard run roughshod  Yours woudnt make it walked out of a paddock

Nah

         Unless by each you mean honest    We shoudnt be discussing this

Because I’m not qualified?

Im grateful you see my point

                              No self hyphen less  no slice of bread no ghost no doppelgänger no twinhave to repeat myself I like it too much  A reallyholey barelyholding slice of Swiss cheese

the glorious illegal holding compound in the Everglades

“Some people were locked in tiny individual metal cages with about 18 square feet of floor space for up to 2 hours, some of which were outdoors. The staff told those from the inspector general’s office that people asked to stay in the enclosures, which they called ‘calming areas’ where detainees could ‘reflect on their behavior choices, manage their emotions, reduce stress and practice self-directed behavior . . .’”
