Uniclue Poems and Super Short Stories from the NYTXW by Gary Jugert
1. ALASKA PENINSULA ETHOS: I can see Russia from my house.
⁃ The winds were howling, the snow was drifting, the sun hadn’t risen in weeks, and from where she sat staring into the murky world from a frozen window pane, she knew they’d still be trying to find her. And they probably would. “I’m gonna make sure they regret it,” she mumbled to nobody. “They’ll regret it real good.”
2. GODDAUGHTER AMMO: Smart alec comments.
⁃ The godfather stood at the christening and thought, “I will make her in my own image. Smart. Funny. And sassy. Fifteen years later, he would come to regret his success as he watched her bully a 15-year-old boy into tears while in line for a slice of pizza.
3. INA RESENTS THE CANOE: Celebrity chef Garten doesn't want to make Duck a l'Orange in a boat.
⁃ The producers said it would be a fine cooking show in the country. When it turned out to be a competition to produce French culinary classics while sailing in a canoe with a camp stove, every star chef wanted to look at their contracts. One starlet started a fire.
4. ODESSA MOOD CONGRUENCE: When you wear a cowboy hat in New York City.
⁃ Clarence left his room on the 36th floor of the Times Square hotel wearing the cowboy hat … without irony. Eighteen hours later he returned to the room without the hat. And without pants.
5. CIVIC MINDED ODOR: Aroma d'City Council.
⁃ Socialite and benefactor Mamie Austin, better known as Mrs. Chamber of Commerce to everyone in town sat at her television the week after Thanksgiving. The local news told the story of homelessness, drug wars, murders, and poverty in her city, and then cut to perfume commercials by celebrities doused in waterfalls. And the lightbulb illuminated. She raced to her apothecary. “I need you to mix a new fragrance, a scent unique to our city. We’ll have every woman and man in the city smelling of it by Christmas. Aroma d’City Council will create the civic minded odor and civic minded profits to save our city.” The apothecary smiled her hideous smile with her missing and yellowed teeth. “Yes Mrs. Austin. Right away.”

Uniclue Poems and Super Short Stories from the NYTXW
1. COLDCALL OPENER: "How ya doin' today, buddy? Listen…"
⁃ And immediately after those words oozed from the telephone into my ears the rage began and it’s why I’m sitting in a cell right now.
2. COAXED TO A TEE: "Today's the day you're gonna break 90; I feel it in my bones."
⁃ That’s where we started. Then there was the beer. And the cart girl’s friend. And now I don’t know where my pants or my wallet are.
3. TRUE JETES STOP: When the ballet goes bankrupt.
⁃ Ernestine McGuillocutty was a pillar of the artistic community and a fixture at every important performance of the company. She’d been managing the books for decades and none of us ever thought to wonder how she afforded the number of trips she took. I suppose we assumed her husband made good money.
4. ERASER ASSAILED: Nixon criticized.
⁃ Those tapes. That 18 minutes. Somebody had to make them go away.
5. DERATS SET LIST: Cover band chooses not to play Nirvana.
⁃ You’re supposed to like this music if you’re “cool.” Problem is it’s bad music foisted upon our ears by a commercial marketing machine and we’ve decided to put a stop to it. Instead, please prepare your head for the following….
6. ACCESS FALTERED: When you took Gandalf's advice on a route into Mordor.
⁃ Down at the pub, they pulled out of map of Middle Earth and said, “Well, here are all the possible ways to reach Mordor.” And of course the wizard said, “I’m gonna take them on the worst possible route. Where would that be?”
7. ROLL UP EVERMORE: End your Swiftie-ismic ways.
⁃ Her mouse poised over the delete button for an excruciating number of seconds. Was it time? She’d lived her life by a code, a love affair really, and now it was time to move on. With one click. Or not.
