Material
by Jeff Stuckey
She was pretty, quiet & small
She read good books, wore glasses
& had a penchant for shapeless brown dresses’
I talked to her at a party
A party filled with the hip, the tragically hip & the terminally hip
She was a nice antidote
We talked for an hour or so
Then my girlfriend (who was very drunk) dragged me out the door
To another party that I didn’t want to go to
For a second I considered telling her that I was happy here
That I wanted to stay & finish that bottle
Of Stoli Pepper Vodka
Then she told me,
“Ya know, Jim will be there & he still wants to do that book with you.”
I thought ‘then just let him write the rest of it’
I still wanted to do more research.
