Famous by Thursday



  or,
            In my other life I've never even heard of this song you keep humming under your breath



We were all born into your dream, humming. Four women
sit around a table with one short man. Of course
we talk about height. Oops. We agree to raise our fists in the air whenever
there is an exclamation point.
(!)  Of course
he drinks most of the mediocre wine and I wait until he's gone
to bring out the good whisky. Blended, not single malt. I don't think he could taste the difference then
just this morning I read that zinc deficiency, a concern for vegetarians, can cause loss of taste.
He and I are both vegetarians. I wonder if there's a way to bring this up
tactfully. Unlike how we stumbled onto height and he...
for all the wrong reasons... But listen
do what you like say no even but

you must never admit to having not been in love.
