The Think Tank, by Mark Tulin
16/8/2019

While drinking ginseng tea, Mendel overheard two customers talking. He didn’t usually judge people, but he couldn't resist these two imbeciles. To prove his point, the bulk of their utterances included okays, likes, and you knows. As their dialogue regressed, Mendel imagined the two grunting Neanderthals exchanging ideas on life’s most crucial problems in a think tank. Everyone depended on these two geniuses for the preservation of our species. He imagined the world getting blown to smithereens as a result.

Mendel checked his watch, called an Uber and, in five-minutes, he was on his way to a Slightly Stoopid concert.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
