The Legend

My photo
"One-N-Jen" Explained: It started many years ago, I would even say when I was first born. My mother loved the name Jennifer,but the bumps of the 2 N's irritated her. For practical reasons she spelled my name with a single N. I enjoy the artful look of the revised name. The only flaw is that I always have to correct people when they write it. My tale begins on an average day; a day of correction. I was amending my name for the billionth time when I created the masterpiece; an easy way for people to remember the spelling. The ingenuity was a stroke of luck and was an accident. "I am a One-N-Jen," I stated. It was then that the nickname velcroed itself to me. So it is: I am a One "N" kind of Jen.

I see my roommate on campus.
She works, i walk.

-you have fourteen days to return this. Here's your receipt.

She's busy.
Customers wait in a globular line.

-Next customer please!

I see her,
she sees me.

-Did you find everything all right today?

We wink at each other.
No one notices.

-That will be fifteen dollars and twelve cents, please.

Hidden communications;
All customers oblivious
to our knowledge
of each other.

This secret between us thrills.
I keep QUIet>
