For years my friend pointed out to me and everyone else.
I was lopsided.
Brain and boobs.
But the joke is on him because last night I noticed several actresses on tv with much more lopsidedness.
It’s very common.
I got a note from the dental assistant.
She said she was sorry for my wait on Monday.
More than that, I suspect she wanted to preemptively appease me.
Now, she will be sending a bill to my house at the end of the week for more money.
I am losing the writing mojo.

I disagree. This poem is proof that your mojo is in good order. There is a world in which this poem would be considered as a work of modernist art and a very good too. It has the precision, the distance, the life and the control over tone.

Wow, Paul…you are so knowledgeable about writing. I learn a lot from you. And also, thank you very much for the encouragement.

I agree with Paul. Having the “writing mojo” is being able to write about “the everyday” and leave the reader feeling thoroughly entertained.
This friend sounds like he/she is an asshole in the way you’ve portrayed him/her. Perhaps the friend was just making a friendly comment about your posture?

The friend is not an asshole. He kids, and I take it as kidding. I laugh because it’s funny and true. It’s true I also have bad posture–sometimes I might argue it’s the weight of my chest that causes such drooping.
Bindo: ha!

To determine your level of assholedom, see my “to my dearest” series to see how many, if any, of those qualities you possess. 😉
