Who is your favorite Saved By the Bell character?
I had a roommate in France who, from childhood, had been in love with the name “Kelly Kapowski.” It was not necessarily the character, or the actress who portrayed her, I was informed..but more importantly, the name. So, jokingly (or lovingly by request) we called her Kelly Kapowski as often as we remembered. For that, Kelly is my favorite.

I will use
whiskey onlyfor gargling.
I will arguethat dogs are
U.S. citizens, too.I will compare work
to a strip search.I will stare at you
as if you weresomeone else.
I will call it warrather than
armed conflict,and in my head,
I will see myself
spiraling downin orange flames.
I will admirethe dainty feet
of a hugelyfat woman.
I will place birdslike commas
around the yard._______________________________________________
