Opportunities

She said
"Hold On..." while she put the phone down
and the key in the door.
(typos galore, because I am too stoned to backspace now)
She tepped inand put her purse
keys down and picked the phone up from the portch

I am home
save and sound
she said to her friend
who wsa talking her though a drive from hell
home from her dateshouse where
he toxically inebrieted her with gaseous
fumes form some weed that she had not had
any of in over 25 years, and even then, she oouldnt
remember it being anywhere near thsi cool (hee hee hee)

but now she was home
and her friend was talking to her
and she was ok
she sat down at the computer
and realized that she had the munchies
there were three chocolate fudge cookies
with orange halloween icing and sprinkles of
black orance and white.
Small, bitesize cookies
She took one of the cookies
whole and in tact
into her mouth
and pushed it into the roof of her mouth
swirling her tongue around and around
enjoiing the flavor mixed whthe her saliva and the texture against her tonge and roof of her mouth
and as she sat there
decadently sucking on this cookie
she thought about it

Opportunities
they really don't come around often
and she was tired of plying life safe

she has had chances to go off
for a weekend on a jet plane
and turned them down
in the last 6 months
and other things as well
and you know what
she thought
life is for living
and taking advantage of the moment
seizing opportunities

and tonight
tonight she had
an opportunity to escape
to revert back to an innocent
18 year old
who giggled and laughed
and blushed when a boy kissed her

and tonight
she seized the moment
and accepted an invitation
to escape
for a mere couple of hours

and it was nirvana

but this cookies
these cookies are
almost as good as sex right this minute

on second thought
maybe not
she would rather have sex
but the cookie is here
and a man is not
esp. not the man she wishes it were

time for some new flowers in the vase.... good thing HEB opens at 6 am.

and she at the other cookie

man that was some stout shit
it is more than 3 hours later and she is still
on a cloud
not cloud nine, that one is reserved, but close to it
