the line of fire

My hair smells like dumpling.

This is because I am:

1. a wuss

and

2. not chinese

and therefore did not

3. put the whole dumpling in my mouth at once, like Jay

and so

4. it squooged out dumpling juice

and

5. my hair is long

and was therefore

6. in the line of fire.

    haha…awwww, thanks honey! I hadn’t even thought about it as a poem, but you’re right, it does kind of have some form going on in there. :-)

    Pretty poem + pretty new webpage. So much prettiness.

    Thank you!

    It wasn’t an intentional poem, but I’ll take ‘em where I can get ‘em. It’s actually an IM monologue of sorts, transcribed pretty much word for word
