pretend

i am going to pretend
i am this lady today

and my name will be lulu
or coco or something
fun

i will mainly lay on the beach
and watch the young boys
lap up the waves with their
vanilla arms

i will likely brush my long locks
a lot

and sip ever so subtly from my
eternal martini

i think this evening i will wear
the long gown
you gave me, you know
the silk one

and remove my polka dot bikini
for the day

i will possibly be thinking about sergio
and rudolfo
and my darling new handbag
and, well, everything maybe

but only for split

seconds
