No word on whether reverse psychology worked.
—John Ashbery
In all of my years of
experimentation, I had
never burned one before.
Note to self: They’re
savages, all! Raise
your hand in the class-
room: How do I cash
a check without a check-
ing account? Teachers
tend to roll their eyes
when a student is stuck
between a rock and a
hard place. Waiting
in line at Market and
Kearny. Realizing (A-
gain! Again! Again!)
it’s all about class. Oo-
ps, I totally forgot how
to tiptoe. It’s Easter, and
there’s still a whole car-
ton of eggnog in here?
In all of my years of ex-
termination, I had nev-
er even boiled one before.
