Woven within
The white shell
Of your bones
Is a chain of daisies and bright lollipops
And musical lava lamps in full color
Stitched with a tie-dyed
Scented shoelace parade,
So your temperature stays
Halfway between
Birthday cake icing and
Fluffy polka-dot lampshades,
Your smile is chocolate brown suede
And a pocket full of money,
Your laugh,
Full of ocean waves and shade
And sweet honeysuckle vines
With little white flowers.
Twirl the gleaming barrel,
Send your pink personality
To the top.
Color by number-
You might be a 10
If you keep
Inside the lines.
Just ask,
Everyone has the same two initials
Any given day,
But identical is not characteristic
Of O.K.
After listening to Off Key
I’m sure I met with Odd Karma
As Ordinary Kindness
Held the door for me.
Over Kill and Obnoxious Know-it-all,
Deep in conversation
With the Oblivious Kid,
Passed right by without a wave.
Just think,
No one with the same personality,
But never say
We don’t have the same two letters
To play with.
