prompt: what can anybody do in 20 minutes
My Band of Writers essays

One thing I can do is contemplate my navel for 20 minutes. During that time I can also contemplate how nice it would be to be eating a navel orange. That does not mean I am craving to eat the navel of an orange person. Particularly not our Orange King. That would take MUCH longer than 20 minutes even to eat enough of him even to reach his navel! It would also be discrimination, not to eat his navel, since orange people should have as much right to have their navels eaten as yellow, black, white, brown or red people. I know the Orange King opposes DEI, so I suppose he would not mind if I only eat his navel, and maybe white peoples’ navels, but not all those others from all those "shit-hole" countries. No, I will not go down that hole. I want to keep my writing clean and clear. After all, I have a colonoscopy to prepare for tomorrow, and it will last longer than 20 minutes.
