Red Sparrow Americano
Spring, circa 2014... I was idling outside my local SBUX, when a lovely Asian lass flung my Hyundai’s front passenger door open and popped in. Too busy texting, she overlooked the wide-eyed, slack-jawed stranger seated in the driver’s seat. Lucky for her, I wasn’t some Jame Gumb type whose cellar serves as a black site for renditioned coeds. Though, I’ll confess, gazing upon her pearl-white teeth, silken tresses, and pristine complexion, I couldn’t help but wonder: “How long until ‘finders-keepers’ kicks in? Will a ‘possession is 9/10ths of the law’ defense hold up in court?”

"You keep using that word.

The crowd erupted into laughter, but hey, at least I made the event unforgettable!

12.5 Things in 2.5 Minutes
So, as many will know, I am not one to shy away from some of the most ridiculous challenges. For instance, I set myself the challenge of writing a piece of poetry that used two words from each of the previous 99 pieces I had published to celebrate my 100th Vocal published piece. Crikey, that's a lot of use of the word "piece." Never mind. For the full experience, you can check out that lunacy below:
