All Comments on 'The Cosmic Joke'

This has a kind of street-wise, nonchalant kind of cynical glow to it, like something that would come out of the mouth of one of Manet's whores.

It's more off-hand than "The Anti-Romantic" and less obviously 'finished' as a work of art, but still very enjoyable, whimsical and kind of flirty in a way.

The line "For not everyone is not as gifted in the sack" has me scratching my head a bit-- but I *think* I get it. (negatives always give me cognitive headaches!)

Of many intriguing turns of phrase, "When cornered for the grind" may be the most amusing. There's an inherent bossiness to it, like an 80s Madonna lyric. It gives the impression the speaker is about to corner one too! --I really enjoy this.

this is one of my favourites of yours i have read, vrose! loving the sound links throughout, the unfussy language, and the overall concept.
