The salesman says, You have lovely toes. She blushes and says, Thank you. And he puts three of her toes in his mouth. She doesn’t pull away.

The toast pops out. Grape jelly? he asks. Only you could make that sound sexy, she replies. And he learns he’ll have to think up dinner too.

Coffee gives me the shakes, he said as he shimmied up to her, but you’re an earthquake. She kissed him. He stopped shaking and began to glow.

Our date was going well but then she said “Eco chic” while talking about some place in Costa Rica, so I left and I didn’t even pay the bill.

They ran the stranger down. He said, Yes I killed the dog, and then he said, At least I didn’t kill a person. And someone said, Depends who.

A Great List

About work. I love this website – basically a list a day. Kind of List of the Day Club. And this list, Henry Miller’s 11 Commandments to himself, his rules for writing, is an awesome list that is still relevant today. Not just for writers, though it is great advice for writers, but for anyone who works and wants to do a job well. And though #2, 10 and 11 might seem writerly, you just need to replace the word “write” or “books” with words that are relevant to you and then you can go to town with Henry Miller’s 11 Commandments. As for the website, I’m sure one day, someone will write a list of their favorite lists from Lists of Note. Now, about the photo. Yes, that’s Henry Miller playing ping pong with an undressed woman. It might possibly be every (male) writer’s aspiration. Possibly. Or, if he’s being honest, something he has thought about at least in his life. Though perhaps involving another activity. Like pool. Or croquet. Or eating grapes. But I guess Miller had followed through on all the Commandments that day and needed a reward.

He felt a pinch and woke and she pushed him down and tweezed another ear hair, and he said, You’re too good, and she said, Your back’s next.

He rolled off her and fell asleep. She closed her eyes, and imagined a world illuminated by disco lights. How deep is your love? she huffed.

It is the last day on his calendar, the end of days, But that’s just ’cause you tore the rest off, she says, and he says, You know too much.

The flirtation commences in aisle one. The potential of consummation in aisle two. He meets his wife in aisle three. Clean up in aisle four.
