So I go to the Poetry Slam Wednesday night to compete and hang with Mike Mcgee.

So I'm having a late breakfast at a greasy spoon restaurant (called Jack's) with this girl I know

It's the kind of place where pick-up trucks with gun racks are parked outside. She and I were discussing "artsy" things (cause ya know, we're bohemian, dude), and halfway through the meal the waitress takes the check from the table. I didn't even notice it but my...
