Thankfully not still drinking coffee as I read this. Hilarious and even though it's obviously so, it still carries a rather sinister knife in its overcoat. You skewer romance here, and reassemble the body parts for our delectation as only you can do Shay.
I am with Joy here, this is full with hilarity but also a sinister slice as well. You always go beyond what anyone else could think up my friend. You have a magical creativity and talent that is truly amazing Shay!!
Meat envelope eh Shay. Darkly sarcastic! Echoes an honest perspective. My wife is not into makeup, nor does she carry a compact — her beauty such she never needed to. My equally beautiful daughter on the other hand, is a fan of gloss and shadow, and wears it like it isn’t there — so I see both sides of the mirror. 😏 Where they are absolutely the same, is that they both maintain their attractiveness with good health habits and a passion for athletics. Both very strong confident women. I deeply love and admire them!

ReplyDeleteI love this: "opened its food hole to show its bone rows" Said this meat envelope. (Elope?)
ReplyDeleteI grew up reading Science- and Speculative Fiction. This read the first time like "An Alien Looks at Earthling Love." The second time was better.
ReplyDeleteI hope I never meet the narrator in a dark alley. More than a bit unnerving.
ReplyDeleteOnly you could think up the meat envelope. It reminds me how i amused my son, decades ago, by describing us as body bags......lol.
ReplyDelete“Gina.” Ha.
ReplyDeleteLove the tinge of humour Shay as only you to do it!

Not the poem to read with breakfast. Going to save this one for the particularly awful Christmas romance movie season.
ReplyDeleteOh I hate those!
DeleteThe brown envelope of slaughter, who wins the bride or groom? It amazes me where you go you def think outside the box.

ReplyDeleteEurgh. Meat Envelope! Short but extremely effective!
ReplyDeleteSuch a tender moment....cackle cackle
ReplyDeleteyah, thanks. I was drinking fizzy water, and now I'm drinking it with my nose. It has a rather peculiar flavor, now.
ReplyDeleteThis did not leave the ballpark, it left the Universe. And my mirror shattered.
