Oh my, it hits and hits hard at all the right places — how I relate with "all the men lost to yellow chiffon" and then "Sex talk isn't as useless as broken headboards". Wonderful writing.
Weirdly, this left me with an earworm of an old (ancient) rockabilly tune called "Cat Talk." Anyway, you have a knack for describing things poetically, and not just saying them. The men lost to yellow chiffon, etc. You've always had the gift, girl.
I’m glad to have more time to write again (all’s well until another adolescent crisis walks through my office door)...and I’m glad I have the time to read you again. I needed that
Woo HOO that was amazing. The feeling I am left with is very familiar. Excellent write!

‘Wow’ is for the subconscious writing itself, I like it when that happens

ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the last line. Thanks!
DeleteNice line: "All the men lost to yellow chiffon,"
ReplyDeleteThat’s kind of an unconscious insertion of self there — my profile name is Yellow Chiffon. It WAS supposed to be confessional, right?
DeleteLike the yellow chiffon being inserted making it confessional... still better than the broken headboards ...
ReplyDeleteI also like that yellon chiffon, so outwardly bright and confident despite broken headboards.
