If I Only Knew Tomorrow

If I only knew tomorrow, I would write it in a big piece of paper, color it’s boarder with fortress surroundings smelling like a lavender. It would be full of sacred words and dedicated to Mrs Butterfly. It would describe the lessons of yesterday and telltales of today and images of tomorrow on a thin piece of paper stuck in the library of lessons. But I don’t know tomorrow. I just envision it to be the food in my refrigerator, biscuits in my cantina, paper flowers in my corridor of wonders, the big pendulant on the street corner dance, a glass of water on my bedside table inside the prepaid package yet to be delivered.

Sealed Lips

I love your lipstick.
Thank you!
I love the color. It looks nice on you.
Thank you, I do too. It complements my skin.
What’s the brand name?
Maybelline, Revlon, Bobby Brown… perhaps? I don’t recall.
Oh yeah, what’s the number?
Now, sister, my lips are sealed…

(The nerve)
