Emily Dickinson: Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul -
Me: Yes. Exactly!
Emily Dickinson: Dear Amber. (Sigh) After great pain, a formal feeling comes. You know this.
Me: Right, but you're the mother of contemporary American poetry! Imagine?
Emily Dickinson: Wait. Who's the father?
Me: Walt Whitman.
Emily Dickinson: Now I know this is a dream. Do you know Walt? Because I'm not his sort. Still, I suppose he is a faithful father of a dependent brood.
Me: Yes. Beloved parents, the both of you.

Diverging Narrative Arcs on a Sunday
S: Good Morning!Me: Morning. Too bad you're not here. I'm drinking amaretto in my coffee and cooking brunch. Goat cheese and mushroom omelets with shallots.
S: Man, that sounds great. I have to be somewhere at 11 though.
Me: Oh, what's up?
S: I left my wallet at Big Bertha's Bordello and Chili Parlor last night. So, guess I'll just eat breakfast there....
Me: I think I just got sick in my mouth. You can't eat breakfast at a strip club/bbq and chili joint. Wait. I thought you were on a date last night?
S: I was.
Me: Wow.
S: Yeah. I know, I know. In retrospect, a bad idea.
Me: How are we even friends?
