    Heres a little thing ive been working on for about 2 mo. shy of a year so I would love to hear your feedback. Thankyou for taking your time to read my work.

    Average man.



    I found the secret code to life in a book far far away passed on from the ancients they ones that were gray I found a hundred dollar bill laying on the streets I picked it up and laughed and gave it to the 1st rich man I seen, he stared at the money and put it neatly into his billfold as I walked by a homeless guy a laughed at him and took his food away he pleaded with me to give him his food back he said Sir its all I have how can you be so cruel I told that man get a job you sick son of a socket he was confused I started my way on the railroad tracks, a train was coming, I had a very large magnet in my briefcase I took out the magnet as the train passed I threw the magnet on it and laughed as it faded away into the desert sands, I need to go home I told myself back to my middle class home in Nantucket were my wife and kids wait for me to brew the coffee my little Johnny loves his coffee I got him hooked on that early it makes me all funny inside watching my kid get all screwed up on coffee, me and Johnny are going to a baseball game tomorrow maybe I will give him fifty dollars just so I can laugh. My Name is Rick and Im an average person in this average world. Thank you for listening to my story.

    I enjoyed that actually. Ive never seen anything written in that format. Does this format have a name or is just your own unique writing style?

    I use no format I never have and I never will, I think by using a format your giving in to the worlds idea about formats and I dont like the worlds ideas on how I should do my art.
