More than metal strips--
Not all zippers are alike.​
All make mental clicks.
 
They all do, yes.
That last line brings it together
so painfully true
 
Wow. That’s too good. “Mental clicks”. For me that hits home. I never thought of it, but it describes a thought and sound that I despise. Thank you Alex. Each day here helps make things a bit clearer.
 
I work in a men’s clothing department.
Every time I have to open or close a zipper on a men’s pant or short, the thoughts come back. I may have been crouching then but this takes me to my knees…
20 years later than the last time…and 57 years later than the first time…
