ello, jello

impulse bought another pair of gold snake earrings… and the others that were right next to them. she laughed at me the entire time. (85 dollars is a small price for her joy. even at my expense.) your ridiculous, you know that? we’re not what we thought we’d be, but there’s something soft still there. she’s all venom at work but when i complimented her hair she whispered thank you. she’s wearing black lipstick again. the cashier asked if I wanted a paper bag for the earrings. no bag, thanks. let them get lost in my pockets. afterwards when I stuffed my fingers in to wrangle them out, the posts bit me. twin bites on both hands.
