fingernail.

Standard

when i was a little girl

one of my sisters used to bite her nails

when i’d look out the window

see the sliver of a moon

i thought that was her nail up there

wanting endlessly

to think of a way to get it back for her.

“it’s like we’re on a rocket ship that we were just painting,

and suddenly it took off

and we’re holding onto the ship with our fingernails.

sittin’ pretty.

Standard

went to the nail salon

to relax

be pampered

have a pedicure

was put

into

a hello kitty chair

with the

 massage option

given water

listened

to my nail tech

who was

a

very

very

very

quiet talker

tried to answer

what she asked

in a way

that didn’t

make me seem

insane

or

off subject

lotion

massage

warm water

scrub

wrap

paint

sleepy

relaxed

drifting

watched

a

bad

made for tv movie

on the screen

with

subtitles

and lots

of hilarious

translation snafus

and ponies

and angst

and there was

candy

all around

and i

read

a trashy magazine

took the quiz

found 

i am 

most

‘like goldie hawn’

of all

the 

celeb possibilities

kept trying

to answer questions

though i had no idea

what she was asking

in her whisper voice

tried to lip read

i probably said that 

i like ponies

and

cotton candy

and

my name

is goldie hawn

as i slipped into 

a dreamy state

of 

hello kitty consciouness
