She certainly wasn't an optimist
and you couldn't call her a pessimist.
Her glass wasn't half empty
and it wasn't half full.
It was empty
with a little tear
at the bottom of the glass
and a lipstick print on the rim...
Perhaps she was a realist.

Holy heck, this one is powerful, Ida. grabs a person by the throat it does.

Beautifully done, in all its emptiness.

Love this.
It leaves me wondering what if there isn't a glass at all.

An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything"
