on a power box
by the stoplight
a tooth scrawled
in white spray paint
outlined in red
reads this town
needs an enema,
i just wonder
who they are
trying to flush.
What can you say in 160 characters? (spaces included) Go see Monkey Man.
once you give up on one group of people, the next becomes easier, until of course it becomes your turn to be given up on. Happy Easter all!

seems someone always wants to flush someone else!
Happy Easter to you and your family!!
as long as it's not me. I don't want to be flushed, although I have been treading water these past few months to stay afloat!
I liked your story, btw. And a Happy Easter to you and yours.
interesting perspective!
Happy Easter Sunday!
Happy Easter to you and your family, Brian. So glad to have made your acquaintance and read your wonderful blog.
Interesting!
Hope you have a wonderful Easter with your family.
Well, I have been gone for a few days but am back in time to say HAPPY EASTER! I am tickled to have come back in time to read a Brotin tale!
Gotta go and see what concoction the two of you have put together lately!
I wonder too!!
Happy Easter to you and yours :0)
Why does this remind me of Charles and Camilla's conversations about tampons being flushed down toilet bowls? *smiles* JK Great piece. I have been missing in action. If you want to know more I'll shoot you an e-mail. Big changes have happened in my life.

Someone needs an attitude adjustment. Great 160. Thanks for your loyal and consistent contributions.
It's not nice being given up on.
just dropped by to wish you Happy Easter xx
Oooh, curious!
Happy Easter, Brian!!
Dentists?
Happy Easter, Mr. B and family.
In the words of Alice in Wonderland ... Curiouser & Curiouser!
Hi Brian,I am so enjoying having stumbled across the blogs of you and some of your circle. The writing exercises are inspiring. I'm not a creative writer - all strictly non-fiction work - but 160 characters or 55 words or two authors are all terrific constraints to focus the mind. (My constraints at the moment are things like "sum up the history of New Orleans R'n'B in 200 words" or "describe the background, events and impact of the French Revolution in half a page"!) I love a challenge ... False Tooth is succinctly thought-provoking.
this is a graphitti tag by our walmart...there are about 50 of these teeth around town with little messages on them and they are title 'the whole tooth"...this one catch me as strange as excluding or getting rid of someone or group....eh, you get the picture....
He is risen...
An emena? Huh. Interesting gang speak. I like your take on giving up on people. Blessings my friend.
We all can use a little flushing once in awhile. You have a good eye, you catch meaning or look for meaning in the signs you see or the looks on peoples faces or a stick of gum. You have a bottomless well of words just waiting to see light of day. Happy Easter to you and your wonderful family.
happy easter brian!
happy Easter, my friend.
Never give up on anyone is a good motto to have unless of course that person is a lost cause and can hurt you. Great story about flushing. LOL
Happy Easter to you and your family.
God bless.
funny. Happy Easter, Brian.
writing from the cesspool, here; been flushed more than once! lol
Happy Easter !!

Happy Easter!
Even if those taggers have a crappy attitude, at least they have a slightly more eloquent way of expressing their opinions than lots of wall scrawlers.
I don't think you should complain unless you are working on a solution. Of course, if you are working on a solution you usually have no time to complain much.
Hoppy Easter!
What a bizarre bit of graffiti!
good one :)
very logical question.

What this town really needs is some Easter candy! Enjoy your day, Brian!
I'm so glad you explained "the whole tooth"...I was having trouble with the mental imagine of someone needing an enema being written on a tooth. :)
Happy Easter!!!
Real words of wisdom.. we must not give up!
Rather "deep" 160?
Excellent though.
Thank God , we do not have people doing that in Malaysia.
Happy Easter!
Mine is Endless Easter Blessings to All

Good story! Happy Easter you too!
Every town could use a flush.
Wow! Yes, I think I would wonder too. Very interesting graffiti.
Hope you have a Happy Easter.
seems the scales of sh!t are out of balance these days.
getting hard to tell turd from non-turd.
I really like this piece Brian.
Happy Easter to you and yours.
Hmm... I wonder! Happy Easter, Brian.
My 160 is up here: http://thismagickallife.blogspot.com/
http://jingleyanqiu.wordpress.com/2010/04/04/easter-sunday-awards-to-fill-your-basket/
it is yours if you choose to,
have fun with your family!
We all need to be diluted or detoxed, or in this case flushed every once in a while (whichever one to make some things work!)
Happy Easter!
A public enema. This makes me think of the first Batman movie. The Joker says that the town needs an enema.
apt for Easter sunday man lol, well done :)
Very cool..
Happy Easter
The enema of my enema is my friend. or something like that.. :-D
♥namaste♥

Spelling Bee
Thanks for reading.
They were probably talking about my brother. I'm nearly sure of it. ;)
And, who will be the toilet paper???
haha
Hello Brian, I am back and am enjoying catching up on the posts of yours that I missed.
This one carries a deep meaning and rings very true...

Hello,
I wanted YOU to know that:
I did know my typos when I gave your comments previously,
energy and power in your work, I typed powerful...sorry, I did not do it on purpose, I noticed it after I published it...
another typo of mine is
simple, direct...
I wrote simply, direct...
Please don't laugh at me or think that I did not know my own errors...
Hope that you enjoy a graceful evening!
I shall be careful next time.
Sweet Dreams!
very poignant
weird message
I watched an interesting documentary about intelligent design vs evolution. The argument for intelligent design states the only logical conclusion for evolution, taken to it's logical end, is the same as Hitler and Stalin's conclusions. Scary.
You can make a poem out of anything! Who are they trying to flush indeed!
Dear Brian:
How are you this afternoon?
I appreciate your good wishes in the morning, everything is perfect for me, I wish you the best.
You are the most popular blogger in the world. No one else has achieved what you have achieved, what admirable job.
stay cool,
continue be the wise you,
Hope that you enjoy a satisfying afternoon.
Best Wises!
Ignore people who try to fish in the air so have you upset.
I'm wondering what teeth have to do with enemas?
Loved your take on an interesting sight.
