i am the unempowered luncher. i take lunch with ladies who are briefly amused by my attempts to impress them before they toss me aside like a half-sucked grapeskin. i crawl off, limp and ragged, until they bid me return, which i always do. i am the mantis carcass from which power is extracted. i am christ splayed sideways on a leatherette bench. i am the tiny, infinitely hot point of light that is destroyed in the creation of a new universe. this is my fate, to which i surrender gladly.

have your people call my people.

Power munch on a power cord.

What's a power lunch?

"Power Lunch" was a term bandied about in the '80s by corporate-types to describe using one's lunch hour as a means to further business and networking goals. Or using one's lunch hour to bulk up at the gym. I was a kid during the '80s, so I never power-lunched back in the day.

Today, "power lunch" is a term used in mocking derision but also to describe THE BURLY, PLATE-WRANGLING ARMS OF AUSTIN'S FINEST WAITSTAFF!

Or it just means "lunch w/Madeline and other improv types."

I love lunching, oh the munchings and crunchings. The creation and destruction that mastication brings, sings. With power, so much the better, better even than salt and pepper.
Mo and I would join you Mads, in your quest. How fine that power would be, we three.
We should call Ratliff. Mantis carcass sounds divine.
