what? you’ve never thrown an ax?
never even wanted to? I’ve wished
to, at certain folk, but haven’t even
heft a hatchet – well let me tell you
there’s a new establishment in town
called “realax” – get the clever pun?
it is relaxing empowering gratifying
the way you feel when the blade slams
into the wood yes there are non-living
targets though you can think what you
like animal veg or min so if you
rage at this covid crisis go to “realax”
and relax with a real ax this is not a
paid ad its proprietor happens to be
a respiratory therapist who knows
how often she feels the need of ax
therapy and the breath of fresh air
we all need these too – p.s. byob
