I was at this diner
in Jersey, between
a meat packing plant
and a used car lot.
It was lunchtime
and the place was
full. Some kids
from the local
college were seated
at the next table.
No matter what
anyone said, this
one kid kept saying
“epic.”
“Ooh that’s
epic. Epic
joke. Epic fail!”
Epic
Epic Epic.
In ten minutes
the word had lost
all meaning.
I kept imagining him
choking on a pickle
his pleas for air
jammed in his throat
his face going blue
as he twitched like a fish
on a pier.
That
would’ve been
epic.
"You keep using that word and I don't think it means what you think it means...."

Go, Charlie. :)
In my frame of mind, this struck me so right.
Love the reference, 4katnap.
