flowers

i was in schnucks the other day, when i saw my boss. i said hi and walked on, and was stuck more on the flowers this time than usual. i mean, i always notice the flowers at the urbana schnucks, but that day, i really stopped to look at them, pausing in front of the cooler when i heard, "keep walking, you ain't getting any flowers." i knew it was my boss by his voice. i mumbled, "yeah, yeah, i know" and scurried away.

holly used to bring me flowers. once, a bird of paradise. it was fucking gorgeous. fresh flowers are so nice to have around. i had a pink flowering plant once that was really nice, then my cats mysteriously ate it one day after they'd been around it for over a year.

i bought myself a rose once, just because i wanted it. i still have it in a vase in my living room.

i guess only some women inspire men to want to bring them flowers. i did inspire that in a few women here and there. that's something, i guess.
