I understood his argument that life, one life makes much more sense if someone gave you so much stuff and told you "Make the best of it for it is all you'll ever get-- there is no 'spin again'". I nodded thinking it would be fair if we were born of equal means 7.5 lbs at birth and intellect of parity-- but we know that just ain't so-- it's why we count fingers and toes praying that no bad things grow in the virgin fields to yield some evil unexpectedly where roses ought to be. I nodded thanks to one more drink although I'd had too much to think as he continued his tirade "What would the incentive be if we could come back again to try, to try, to try again as if we were a game?" He drank his scotch faster than I-- and slammed his empty purposefully ready for another round. I wasn't there to see his eyes-- I took my purse and fled the scene, smiling at the circlings, of intense philosophy insistant singularilty happy homeward bound. |

"I nodded thanks to one more drink although I'd had too much to think as he continued his tirade" I am such a fan of your interesting and thoroughly entertaining tales. I like to exit before the scream of "last call" sounds in the bar. *wink wink* always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

You took a common conversation and turned it into something new and interesting. I liked it. "I nodded thanks to one more drink although I'd had too much to think as he continued his tirade" Thank you for sharing your poem. |

Your extended vocabulary combined with your creativity puts a delightful spin on even a most disgusting scene. You are remarkable, Karen. Rae |

and the echoes of "Hey, I'm right! Get back here and I'll prove it!" faded into... Don't think I would have wanted to be there to see the eyes either. |
