Reform school girls know which fork to use. Plastic plants are just as important as the ones that require water. I'm not ever telling where I buried that key. Just one glass of red wine before bed. I like it when you run your run-on sentences with just enough punctuation for me to figure it out. I enjoy pumpkin seeds from the vegetable, not the bag at the golden pantry. Circus music after 11pm feels right. The guadalupana rose candle relaxes. I pick my running shoes based on performance and how pretty there are..its a tricky combo. Etch-a-Scetch hurts my wrists. Thicky-thick girls. Lyrical dancing in the living room. Letting the neighbors watch. Bomb shelters should all have keys. Kicking the sand off first. Sconces only belong in IKEA. Dealing the cards face up counts. Vegas showgirls make-up must be tough to get off. Music that brings up the past is nice. Bling on the teeth. Knowing I can do it. Blankets that are big enough to cover up my toes. Little white gloves. The velveteen rabbit was a good lesson. Little pieces of me blowing away when the lottery numbers are called. Paper-shredding the visa bill. Georgia Peaches. Vote. Hair-care product whores. Shiny objects with killer consequences. Smoke your skeezy ass cigarettes in another room. Loving the enemy with all my heart. Using masacara as a wand and a tool. 11 french fries is enough for a side order. Exercising with proper music is a must. Declarative statements. Money orders (save those reciepts, bitches). My girls from the 145 South Poplar. Batteries and Coke-a-Cola do mix. All the Pinot Noir you and your friends have to offer. The Fall of the House of Usher. Running the comb through the conditioner. Fighting for what is Mine. Moving trucks that know the right way. I like it when the mood strikes. I don't wear ballet flats and I never will. Pulling the map out and picking a point. Vaseline is for twister. I miss the dirrrrty south.
