Bits of Valentine Pieces

What is he about? A boy - Leaning against the wall dragging
trails of security blanket soft blackness behind - As she is
watching all the time, wondering what he's about.

Pull-string doll unzips her back
Colour wand eye shadow, super magic curls just like that
Maybe now he'll notice her. Packaged product, dented box.

A girl who is in no way little starts with her face and scrunches
her whole body into a pout. It takes ten years off of her life and
she's only 17. "I was interested in more than a kiss."
Not until after the words have finished coming out does she
realize that they should have accompanied her ADDING ten
years TO her demeanor starting with the lips and eyes and
ending at the hips full body TWITCH. But she gets cranky when
she hasn't had her nap.

The boy doesn't know how to respond. Probably because he
isn't there. But even if he was it wouldn't matter. She's sick of
expressing her feelings and desires all the time.

Sitting near him she subtly brushes her hand down her neck,
across a collarbone - accentuating breasts and shoulders -
hoping maybe he'll think "ooh ooh, I wanna do that too"

She walks by him and straight on through the trash can, except
for the fact that it is physically impossible for her to pass through
solid matter so instead she just makes a big KLUNKing noise.

In thinking about him, she decides she should check her lipstick.
By accident, she asks someone next to her for a mermaid
instead of a mirror.
