I was there also. Although you probably didn't see me because while the commotion was happening I was in a tree smoking a cigarette. Truth be told I kind of fell into the whole scenario. Earlier this year I went to that same tree and propped up a hammock on the top branches. I spend a lot of night in that hammock staring up into the zenith and letting all the stars become one giant piece of energy pulse down into my skin. Anyway, the group had gathered underneath my tree and as you well know, they were very noisy. How rude of them. I became startled immediately as if being hit with a ball in a dream. I damn near fell out of the tree. Instead I peered over the edge and saw the tops of hundreds of heads bob up and down like a sea. Unfortunately I though about the sea when I saw those people and as you know I am very bad with movement of that nature. So I began to fall ill. I felt my own face turn green. I had just eaten a burrito and the chunks began to churn and bubble up my throat. I couldn't hold it in. I puked up my entire lunch onto the ground. So ya. That's the story of how I threw up on you. I'm very sorry.
Quite the story, but in all seriousness I really love the real and awkward style of writing. Makes it seem like an apologetic letter.
ReplyDeleteJake I love your style of writing and pentameter. Can I have your children?
ReplyDeleteI love the way this is written, and the style of it. Really great story!
