Uffdah! (rise to a standing position) Oy veh! (settle to a seated position)
by Ann Bogle
Goodbye to our mothers and fathers and hello to our perfect bodies carved by frequent sex with our rock band husbands saried in tattoos whose missing or first wives were "icky." Where are their first wives today? I read that Cameron Diaz finds it dangerous that ordinary people seek confirmation online from unseen people and people they scarcely know. Would I write again: All she is is an American card, a freshy, a spectacle—“not bad,” someone might say of her if she were skating Tonya Harding's practice rink in Seattle. Cut people a break!—“are you giving up on U.S.?” selected as she was to reveal her nut on a red carpet.

Author's Note
Andrew Auten captured this quotation. It is nearly mine. I rewrote it.

Bam bam! *
*, Ann. You had me smiling. Nicely done.
Do you think Tonya will be there attending AWP, resulting in numerous Uffdahs from the other attendees?
"All you are is an American card, a freshy, a spectacle..."
I like the way you stitch together sounds.
I have rewritten this piece in pencil and will emend after my doctor appointment that begins in fifteen minutes. I plan to replace the text with the new text rather than to preserve the earlier write. That is the first time I have written "write"as a noun. (Mental note).
