Really enjoyed this poem. Love how you wrote about drinking and discarding a water bottle like you were describing a toxic relationship with a person who constantly drains you of energy. He was probably cheating with a Gatorade anyways. That bastard!
To hell with normal! Don't be afraid to jump around, collect bits and pieces, and put them together to see what happens. At least that is what I think Chuck told me when I asked him about writing linearly...
The address is fine I think. I've ordered Chuck's last book using that address and the mail arrived. By the way, I'm okay with you not sending anything... I don't want to push you or anything. I'm just glad I'm subscriber to your substack.
Rabbi, I FINALLY shipped this today. Sorry it took so long I have been batting the flu and crabby kids. The postal clerk said 10+ business days. Hope it makes it to you!!

And now a word from our sponsor, Coca-Cola!
Thanks very much for reading and commenting, Joe! Gatorade--ha, that's good!!
Beautifully designed and executed, Maegen. Has me thinking about a few bottle/soul crushers of my own.
Fuck 'em. 💜
You rock. Hope you're surviving summer vacation. 🥂
Thank you, Meg! As for summer--I'm hanging by a fishline!!
Fun concept and well executed! Poetry is deceptively fun.
Thank you, Amran! Who knew writing poetry could actually be an enjoyable experience??!!
I, too, have encountered the dasani bottles of the world. Beautifully done.
Thank you, Dane! Now to finish cranking out that story that’s due...
I gotta figure out which one I want to send you guys 😂. I wish I was normal and wrote stories linearly instead of cobbling together 2, 3, 4 at a time

Bravo! I really enjoyed this piece, Maegan.
Thanks much, Tom! Coming from the Poem Master Himself, I will cherish this comment. 🥩
More like the poem dabbler himself, haha. Thank you so much for the compliment!
Wickedly clever!
Thank you, Jim!! 🥩🥩
All about perspective.
Great stuff, Maegan.
Isn't it though? (All about perspective.) Thank you, Kris, and I'm eager to get into that story of yours that popped up in my inbox today.
I hope you're well!
Doing great! Summer’s always busy over here, but I’ve squeezed in a handful of trips to the beach, so I can’t complain. Hope you’re well too!
What more can you ask for?
All fine here too thanks. Melting in record temperatures in southern Spain, dreaming of being in Iceland.
Humans are never satisfied.
I mean, at least Dasani’s got some crumpled company
😂
She shall transcend her container and live out the rest of her days as a PVC deck board overlooking the waves of Lake Michigan.
Bravo Maegan! I like how he sucks...WINK
Hi Maegan, this is Randy from New York Story Night.
Please shoot an email to randydongshi@gmail.com when convenient. I've got something I think you might find very interesting to discuss with you :)
I enjoyed this. Layout of poem was inventive and clever. thanks.
Rob, thank you so much for reading and commenting.
Glad you enjoyed it.
The feeling you create with the bottle (of water slowly running out) was excellent. Great work!
Thank you so much, Mariana! Glad you enjoyed this.
Nice!

Clever!
Thanks Logan!
Love me some good poetry. Thanks for this, really cool!
Thanks Rabbi!
I saw your MEAT request! I’d like to send you a mailer but I’m not sure about the address.
The address is fine I think. I've ordered Chuck's last book using that address and the mail arrived. By the way, I'm okay with you not sending anything... I don't want to push you or anything. I'm just glad I'm subscriber to your substack.
Great I’ll give it a shot!! :)
Thanks
