I love you,
"Da--" I resist
(lol jk)
This slip would matter to anyone but me.

Beautiful wonder,
Thank you for your blessing.
(drip, drip)

Take me, I'm yours
(define "yours"?)
Bring me home
Our home.
(our dollhouse made of flour)

Sparkle and f a d e
Glow and beam
BFF
(or so I thought)

S.W.A.K.
That poor dude.

Beautifully I'll bloom
Uniquely and splendid
Providing my own Greenhouse Care
Which I require to thrive.

An orchid among the dandelions
Bliss, form, and grace
Lighting specifics
Mindful humidity

It's never too late to become what I might have been.

"So, how are you?"
Asks the creepy coworker
The one who has complimented my hair
Asked for a hug
And is always perceived as a creeper

"Fist bump," I'll insist
"Great." "Hurried." "Fine thanks, and you?" I dodge the intimacy like a ***** sock

"GET UP," he says to the kid I'm staffing, trying to be helpful
"You have to get up at some point," I gently tell the kid

I have a goal for these guys at work.
The ones who don't understand women.
Don't respect women.
Expect women to be there for them.

But there's a block, when a guy is just too creepy for comfort
I'm sure it's my own problem.

I lost some muscle tone today
Lying around and writing dumb poems

I gained a little *** belly (maybe)
My boyfriend will be bummed if he notices

My house is still a mess
I feel trapped by the mess

Just clean
You're your own mama now.

No time for this existential mental *******;
Blue collar FTW.

What does one gain
from completing the mundane tasks of daily living?

Laundry
Folding
Cleaning
Food prep

Vacuum
Dusting
Windows
Drain

Choose a color scheme for your home
A point of inspiration
"The History of Interior Design"
Choose your Lifestyle
Color your Path

What's the point?
Cable television
The Nuclear Family
Entertaining
The dodging of Lonelihood

Wouldn't you rather be a dolphin?
Dancing by day
And sexing by night

My furniture is coral
My upholstery is seaweed
Feng Shui by Poseidon's Design

Pulp Fiction.

If I never were to hear your name again
You'd join the now-stagnant cesspool of men
Who wish they'd never kissed my spine

Men with whom I've flirted
At the expense of myself and them

Why couldn't I have been more patient?
In choosing a suitable soil
Before dabbling in the Delicate art
Of planting a Seed and offering it water?

Alternatively,
Perhaps these brief interactions
Have meant something more than so many "fragile" (fruitless) disappointments

Could they instead be documented
As some of our formative experiences
Ones of transcendental self-discovery
Research and Study in preparation for the Gardens Ahead?

Sun and water help the Plants to grow
Up
and
Out
But an attentive Gardener must provide organization and mindfulness

Plant, Animal, Mineral
Under proper conditions, a dazzling heart can be formed from coal
