Massages

 

Hey

 

Hey J___

 

I got out of there ok without anything really happening

 

…anything really happening?

that’s not an absolute

that sounds like you’re sitting on a fence with a great big stake up your arse

 

well nothing really I gave her a massage

 

like the normal kind of massage

or the other kind of massage

 

no W____! There’s only one kind of massage

one kind that I’d say like that anyway

like just a massage…

 

…like a foot massage

 

no, like a shoulder and back massage

 

what the kind where you straddle them?

or the kind where you sit behind them?

 

yeah that kind…

 

have you seen when they talk about massages

in Pulp Fiction?

Yes, just what kind of massage do we engage in when we write a poem. I don't think there is just one type of massaging that we do there either.

have you seen when they talk about poetry
in Grad School?

Best regards,

Rick
