Crisis

The bowling alley was drenched.
He stands at the gate of depart-
ure, wondering, Should I stay or
should I go?
The pastel-colored
eggs in the gigantic basket were
misshapen. Suddenly, she rem-
embers the roll of film that she
had dropped into her generous
vodka martini. Poor Ginger has
a strong distaste for ginger (and
also for lemongrass). Chomp-
ing for minutes over the bowl,
knowing he looked like a horse,
he regretted spooning up the
last dregs of soup into his
mouth with greed (for
it was a spoonful of no-
thing but lemongrass,
as it turned out). I am
eternally amazed at how
she does it, those mir-
aculously perfect hot
buns. The District
Attorney melted slow-
ly and sweetly into the
District Superintendent's
lonely mouth (same district).
All of the humans missed the
parade in Area 51 that Monday
afternoon. Gigantic fluorescent
bulbs light the Grand Canyon
tonight. An alternate universe
where Billy Joel is the super-
model. Pillow Talk, starring
Doris Day and Dale Evans.
The starship Enterprise crash-
lands on the planet Tatooine.
