Only In Brooklyn

Only in Brooklyn can one walk down the
street and pass three ten-year-old boys
of Italian descent-one saying to the other,
"I love mozzarella don't get me wrong but
I frickin' love a salad with goat cheese
medallions."

What I'm Not Doing

Today in the mail I got a class bulletin from my Alma
Mater with updates on what various people are doing
with their lives. I went to a small, all women's college
in the south. Scattered throughout the update -and
I'm not kidding-were at least five or six mentions of
women that were "enjoying their free time scrap
booking and collaging". What am I doing wrong?
