Profound

I feel as though this should somehow be profound, momentous, a connection and a lifeline to a past we once knew but here in suburbia all I can contemplate is the price of a steak and laundry detergent.  And I wonder – with rampant run-ons and bizarre punctuation – why I can’t muster any enthusiasm for that which is not mundane.  And so I give you today’s price of steak: top sirloin $3.88/lb  and laundry detergent:  $17.99/150 oz.  The purchase of one unfortunately precludes the other and there is no clean underwear…..   In the vernacular….it is a small coffee day instead of a chocolate steamer extravaganza.
