The Scenic Route to the Point

Plainspokenness by Victor Lembrey



I guess what I’m trying to say is I need to feel it. Not just think about it, but really feel it. Know what I mean? Like when you’re watching a comedy and something funny happens, and instead of simply laughing, you say, “that’s funny.” That’s not felt, know what I’m saying? You’re thinking too much; you’re too cerebral. You’re bottled up. Me? I need to feel it.

Okay, I just read the paragraph I wrote and I disagree. I’m not comfortable with feeling. It’s too raw, know what I mean? I’d rather focus on statistics, sports… that sort of stuff. I don’t need to feel it. Forget that.



What I do need to feel is Marilyn Monroe’s ghost on my visage. Pardon the frankness.
