"Once I met my husband with his winking looks, he was my only interest. Wild as I had been with John and the others, I turned all my wildness over to him and then there was no question in my mind." - "An Interest in Life", from Grace Paley's The Collected Stories. In related news, I'm engaged to be married.
Red Lightbulb
And of course bass is the first thing you hear in the song, only bass,
Can you pass that over?
It feels good to be here. I always need a chaperone.
How It Feels To
I ate a rubbery dinner and talked to my three favorite people on the phone.
One's mad that I broke plans, one sighs because I'm flaking again,
I sniff my nose and the last one is excited to see me soon!
Car Wash
Verbs, verbs, verbs. Suds are never not sexy.
My peach-painted nails are pressed against the windshield,
My eyes are squinted between them. What a luxury.
Belles Lettres
Your curly hair wrapped along itself like the simple twine of DNA ladders
Flowery girl, you are gone.
You are in control of yourself now, confident, hard-edged,
Self-serving, magnetic.
We two always go together.
