Jan 21

Part One: Onanism

* * *

Alternate fingering

Carpal tunneling

Cleaning house

Cut and paste (to)

Drawing a blank

Frumming

The huff ’n fret

Hunker down (to)

The J-stroke

Landing the Johnson account

A moment alone

The Papal wink

Plumping a ball park frank

Pulling a fast one

Rubbing down

The rumbles

Test drive (taking a)

The wobbly
