[hometext] => written at Cap'n Brady's (1982), Kent, Ohio
[bodytext] => A green, metallic ashtray,
its belly scattered with old cigarette butts and torn packages of Sugar Twin. A crumpled napkin, two quarters, two pennies, side by side, looking rather grim. A set of scratched and worn keys with a funny bear and a Triple A charm laying at an odd angle. One vanilla cookie and the remains of another looking like a skeleton, pieces of it crumbled, describing a horrible death from the center of the dish. The dish with tiny, rust-colored flowers on the rim, the edge chipped from a previous user. Two shakers. One, salt to the bottom. One, pepper, to the top. And a large jar of sugar contains an eerie creature who peers out at me from its compressed grave of granules. I lift my coffee to drink of its depths. I bend my head to stare at the empty page that is no longer blank but crowded with table inhabitants in blue scribbled ink.
