Breaking Up: It's So Easy To Return

In 1976 I Wrote A Lot About Women Trying To Claim The Right To Work.

Mothers Send Strips To Daughters To Make A Point. Daughters Smack Strips Down On The Breakfast Table To Make A Point. My Own Mom Sometimes Cuts A Strip Out And Sends It To Me To Make Sure I Understand Her.

Now I'm Searching For A Slightly Overweight, Single, Childless Woman Who Doesn't Have A Date And Isn't Too Depressing To Be Around. It's Getting Harder To Find A Girlfriend Than A Boyfriend.

Otherwise, My Whole Career Has Just Been Flinging Myself At Whatever Is Most Overdue First And Letting Everything Else Stack Up.

Small Wastebasket Liners, $1.17 ... Tall Wastebasket Liners, $2.29 ... Garbage Can Liners, $3.98 ... I Think I Just Spent $7.44 Buying Something I'm Going To Throw Away.
