Thanks for your thoughts on the poem, and yes, of course, lots of tongue in cheek intended.<br /><br />As for my name, my offline friends call me "Mattison," but I'm known professionally as "Ami Mattison." It confuses people sometimes, especially online because I use my professional name. I decided for this site, I'd try to assert my offline name. So, feel free to call me "Mattison."<br /><br />Thanks again for the supportive comments!Ami Mattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391930163467566669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522720778738309123.post-80530208555242628972011-01-23T16:33:55.305-05:002011-01-23T16:33:55.305-05:00p.s. why is Adam calling you Mattison? xxxj Do ...p.s. why is Adam calling you Mattison? xxxj Do you like to be called Mattison?

In any event, you've worked your insightful magic here, woman.<br /><br />As the philosopher Jackson Browne said, "It's who you look like, not who you are." (Am I showing my age. Yeah, spoze I am. Do I care? Ha!) I think so often about how people are attracted to an image of perfection, or sexiness, or power, or whatever it is. And as you've so perceptively written here, the longer one can hold the pose, the longer the illusion lasts. <br /><br />I find, the further along I get, the less i care about those veneers. Reality is messier and deeper and I want it pretty badddddd. Gimme.<br /><br />PS--cigars stink, period. yuck.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522720778738309123.post-29561981016998849512011-01-23T07:17:59.831-05:002011-01-23T07:17:59.831-05:00Love it!

The ring of the cash register is icing on the cake, which goes a step further to the her relatively normal life at home.
