Which Reminds Me

While I was living in California years ago, I once went with Marlene from Arkansas to a concert of Bob Bennett, whose music I liked very much. However, Marlene did not like it at all and had a miserable time. She thought the lyrics were so dumb. In our discussion it became apparent that Marlene does not understand the concept of similes and metaphors. She just interprets everything in an oddly literalistic way so typical of those boring people. So that was further evidence that I don't belong there, just can't understand them. I just don't fit in with those stupid people. Just another reason to leave Marlene in the lost and found to be claimed by the machine.
