A bubble on the glass appeared and traveled down a path of grime I wiped at it with satin sleeve but all the truth was other side and so I thought oh clever me I'll roll the window down to see-- and blow a kiss dramatically as I waved goodbye I grasped the plastic knob and churned like lessons I will never learn and seasons sometimes never turn-- a yellow leaf can clutch and yearn twirling in the winds of odds screaming for the green of spring aching for a covering shivering the past as we stained my stockings on the grass. A bubble on the glass and tears traveling her majesty's ruby reds and diamond ears like ripened grapes in boughs of yield too afraid to laugh at that the blunderings of their mishaps my cousins at the table lapsed country in their ways we lacked the grace of them and marmalade sealed in jars with covered wax-- just like us and chevrolets. I watched them as we drove away, and envied them their freedom paved by the red dust on their feet bubbles on the glass and me as if my face was porcelain hands discreetly in my lap a stoic with a dirty sleeve satin with a hint of that oranges and green grass stains upon my field of white. |

you splash marmalade, rub grass stains on satin and your poetic gown is still pure as freshly driven snow |

I'm smiling. I have had trouble writing lately, and I usually write from personal experience, but I have the most fun when I just make stuff up, and this was like that. It's nice to "lose myself" for a little while, but it's extra nice when I can bring company with me. Thank you all for reading.  Love to all.  |
