I was more than glad when Oddyseus arrived. I am greatful this section isn't long and focuses on the two ways that Oddyseus discovered me for the war. While I don't feel likee clarifying, as to not spend more time on this subject, I feel it important to note that I was more than ready to fight in both theories.

Prescription

A pen between your legs

works as well as an aspirin.

I’ll take a hit again, pass the vapor,

move the flavor from my lips

right to yours. If kissing kills,

pill or puff is medicine enough.

Fifth City

never move when hiding; certainly not in any fifth city on any fifth ave where all five foot five men, furtive and tiny, live in one home, each trembling barely hidden when hiding too hard to breathe. _____________________________________ Lincoln’s note: I challenged Jen to write a poem, precisely 37 words in length, that did not use any pronouns or the word love. She did so. So did I. She challenged back, this time stipulating in addition no articles and no letter 's' . It also shouldn't rhyme. This is the result. It kinda wasn’t fair since my grasp of what constitutes an English article is slim at best. But I think I got it.

Keep it at 37 words, it cannot rhyme and must be done by 10/1 @ 12AM. You must do it too :)

Flukes

it is so talkie to count flukes which slap the water bears barking in the sound, what with strands & whiskers of sand pinned on with low tide fastly coming in, and high tide smiling going out. ______________________________________________ Lincoln’s note: I  challenged Jen to write a poem, precisely 37 words in length, that did not use any pronouns or the word love. She did so. I took the challenge myself. This is the result. It kinda wasn't fair since I usually write like this. She can give me an assignment. I'll abide.
