I went

down to the 5 and 10

bought myself some

ball-point pens

lined my eyes

& papered lids

practiced cursive

eyelashes…

thinking less

I thought-less, too

tried some Peeps

in aqua-blue

fluffy insides

used for glue

amended Hallmark

cards too sweet

appended chicken marks

with feet

(then ended up with 5 for 3)

moVing on

I counted change

Sparkletts flat

was still in range

re-versed like whine

with Sharpie markers

I paid full-price

for swag in Parka.
