Poof* Take MY water

Paris in the rain
a woman’s life
is too tenuous
delicate
billowy
spider web
close call on I-75
in preterm labor
on the way to the
Paris airport
in the rain
fragile
beautiful
precious
sacrosanct

for bad friends
bad family
bad coffee
bad shoes
bad mattresses
bad jobs
bad husbands
bad debt

learn this by 30 for maximum

and believe me
he will come for you
he will not be cloven hoofed

with a pointed tail
he will appear on a sunny morning
as the answer
to your prayers
speaking words
you’ve been waiting to hear
all your life
with a loving manner about him
possessing
in his manicured hands
a perfectly packed picnic basket
a bottle of wine
a box of jewels
and two plane tickets
to Antigua
