Janet Kuypers (poetry converted to prose)

    Tuesday nights were regular working nights for me, and in the winter time the ice cream parlor never had any business. so i worked with vince, a regular guy, like me, well, regular, like me, not like me because he’s a guy, because i’m a woman, you know. wait, so anyway, i’d work with vince and john, and john was like a marine wanna-be, a real tough guy that obsessed over his body. not a real intellect. harmless, funny in his machismo, i guess.
    so once we were sitting around, i’m talking to john and john’s got his back to vince, talking to me, and i must have made some sort of cut-down to john, and i knew he wouldn’t understand what i said, but then he looked at me and he said, “elaborate.” and vince and i just burst out laughing, and i said, “ooh, johnny learned a new word at school today,” and vince was holding up four fingers and mouthing, “four! four syllables!” john never saw vince. vince and i were both so impressed, john had a fifty cent word. we were laughing so hard.
