ROOM 327

By Ben Greenman 

From forthcoming thing

“Yes, I know, it’s not very diplomatic. It’s not in the rule book.” An actress was standing on set refusing to be interviewed in her skimpy costume. There was no comment at that time, but now the commission is putting a report together. There has never been a toy with a higher upside. All of us agree on the recipe. It’s not very diplomatic. The new guy has no question he can get her goat. Her costume was on set. A poison released from an overhead vent quickly filled the room. They hopped into the car before emerging and giving in to a bumper-to-bumper passionate public display. “Metaphors subdued the day.” There was no comment at that time. A jazz player feels his way through a melody, unless the melody feels its way through a jazz player. An actress was standing in the rule book. “When he put her saucer on the table, he did so roughly, in clear violation of the organization’s protocol, not to mention common human decency.” I thanked you. I am sure of it. On the magazine cover a body in repose proved on closer inspection to be a corpse. An actress jumped into the car before emerging. A jazz player provided a bumper-to-bumper passionate display. The new guy put her saucer on the table before they jumped into the car. A skimpy costume is a recipe. A public display is a protocol. The new guy has no question he can get her goat. On closer inspection, all of us agree. Yes, I know.  I thanked you. It’s not very diplomatic. I am sure of it. An organization was standing refusing. There has never been a question. There has never been a new guy. A melody was released from an overhead vent to subdue all of us. The commission is putting a metaphor together. All of us agree. There has never been a comment with a higher upside.
