You've Done...
You've Done Allot With Six Words! well... I really like this... Does your silence honestly buy you a drink? and is it possible that in this world that being silent is a conformity in it of itself? hmmm just thinking...

conformity ...
well yes, it hasn't the ability to play with anything else.. now does it?
mental masturbation .. on the other hand might be best left to the mute
short but you manage to erect -- no pun intended there, or maybe there was
an entire scene.... conformity here could be anything from the common inhabitants of the common, or the commonplace itself.... reality sleeps, dreams go on, sheep follow night into day, while a distance that can't be transcended does what it will and it must..
don't mind me, I'm being abstract..

Hmmmm boy this gets the mind working. So happy to see you posting again. My heart is heavy and light when I read your work. It is so truthful it hurts in it's under tone. Love it.

Interesting...
You put the proper connotation on breakfast, here we have the break and the fast. Such a lot of character portrayed with six words. The reference to the conformity of masturbation has impact, perhaps this is pursuing the duality between having to stroke what there is a wish not too ( ego/id) and not being stroked by the need to conform. Perhaps a double entendre within silence buys your drinks, on the levels of those that can't speak are those that you deal with to earn a living and perhaps saying when drinking you prefer listening to your own thoughts or only those of others if you feel they need to have been said?

Hmm...I like the piece actually. The AN is curious but I do like the memoir. It's supposed to be a challenge & I think it did the job here. Nicely done. Thank you for your entry & good luck in the contest!
