Soren, this reminds me how easily later generations can smooth the rough edges off the past. Pieces like this put the physical reality back into it...how exhausting and unforgiving daily life could actually be. Really felt this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Well written. Poetry is a unique beauty of words that takes on a life of its own, allowing everyone to savor their own share of it.

This is raw and I hope there\'s no apology for that.

I too have vague memories of a similar scene. Now they could not be revisited even if one wanted to but only in memory and poetry. Thanks for bringing me back. 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊️

I must say this was brilliantly designed. At 1st I thought you were writing about meatloaf for dinner. I hate and despise the look and Taste of meatloaf itself, yet this poem was brilliantly written. Your poem uses a playful, colloquial tone, with familiar names and cultural references (Jack Black, Chris Farley, Zero Mostel) that create a sense of relatability and humor. Words like \"bat out of hell\" and \"seductive nights\" evoke strong imagery and emotion, contributing to the poem\'s lively and whimsical nature.

I have to admit that I could not fully understand the poem initially because it contains so many cultural references. Once I looked into them, however, I realized how clever, intricate, and entertaining the poem is. Your masterfulness lies in weaving together food, comedy, popular culture, and music through the double meaning of “Meat Loaf.” The references to Bat Out of Hell and Paradise by the Dashboard Light, together with the unexpected appearances of Jack Black, Chris Farley, and Zero Mostel, create a wonderfully absurd and playful effect. What initially seemed confusing to me turned out to be a highly imaginative and skillfully constructed piece of wordplay. I especially admire your ability to pack so many layers of meaning and humor into such a seemingly simple poem.
