when corn flakes vanish, coffee rings dry, tea bags harden, bread toasts - or frenches.
when toes are stubbed, calves stretched, snoozes hit, miles run, dogs downwarded.
when smiles are painted - handshakes handed - grimaces tainted - thoughts unthought.
when mornings become noons and noons fade to moons. when to do's are done, nights fun, trash trashed.
when faces, legs and armpits (and arms) have been shaved. when nose, ear and lash hairs are pulled, hair sprayed, gelled, moused, waxed, curled, scrunched, bunched, braided. when shirts are tucked, ties tied, shoes shined...
when gums are chewed, flossed - brush-slip bruised. when teeth are brushed, whitened, halted by fork.
when livers are cleansed, carbs cut, tracts flaxed. when cigarettes cool, bottles hold cotton. when leaves are raked, banana bread baked, snow melted - blown - shoveled - thrown (syruped - yellowed - forted).
when tires rotate, oils change, filters freshen, transmissions flush - bank account gouged.
when the hinges become rusty - knees untrusty. when sky cradles leaf, you'll forget the supermegaautobigbox2for1blackfridayboxingdaygottahave10pairsofsocksinsteadof3becausetheaveragepricepersockwillbe97centslower -trip to the mall. heck, its september already; it's beautiful, aromatic - it's fall.
when friends have been friended, cards carded, roads covered, doors opened, security secured. when smiles become miles, embraces then places.
when the ------become------ and the------have been------it'll all be settled. it'll all be ------.
right?
