Beware of bleeding ear syndrome
and the unexpected arrival
of a fleet of firefighters, one
of which tells me “You’ve got
blood on your ear!” “I know,” I
say. “It’s a shaving accident.”
He says these things happen.
But one must admit, or I do,
that an ear is the second or
third most disturbing portion
of a body to discover bleeding
profusely. Things that are
mangled and/or bloody. Is
that today’s topic? Nope. I

am looking to you. So might

holler the answers now. Any

body? Anybody? Or what do
YOU do when you discover a
skin flap (on yourself; on some
one else, be it one you love,
a friend, a stranger, a mere
acquaintance)? What do you do
acquaintance)? What do you do
when you witness someone
sitting across from you who
has something clearly stuck
between their teeth (answer
for the same five types of folks
as above)? What do you think
of Paul Rudd (be specific and
elabarate)? Or if you are shy,
please see the email address
noted below to relay these
answers. Here’s a query: Men,
how do you groom your balls?
I’m looking for best practices,
along with any tricks of the trade.
Before reading a poem, what are
your general first thoughts? Have
you ever read one? If so, are
there any revelatory thoughts
you’d be willing to share? Out of
my abundance of curiosity, what
do you think of interactive art?
Of collaborative poetry? Do you
know of any interesting examples
about which you could enlighten me?
What are your thoughts on shaved
male chests? What about the ones
that appear unkempt, like lawns un
mown, for years? Moving on to
further topical matters, let’s get red-
faced. How do you feel about Donald
Trump? About Joe Biden? That was
cheap. I’m sorry. These are things
that are constantly on my mind. How
about slide projections of old? Remember
them? Or the process of putting old school
presentations together (the antithesis of
PowerPoint, I’d say)? That thought, for
whatever reason, keeps whizzing past me.
What do you think of baldness? Of relative
hairlessness? Do you normally wear under
wear? Do you prefer poses or candid photo
graphs? Do you like graffiti? What do you
consider ephemera? Where do you think
you might find a gay bakery? What social
media do you use? Who are your favorite
broadcast news journalists? What is the best
improvement you can imagine happening to
life as you presently experience it? What do
you think about clams and happiness? Wow,
now that I’ve taken you this far, please indulge
me with responses? Thanks in advance. And
don’t forget: delraycross@boiled-eggs.com.
