It's never really a dialogue.
It isn't a conversation.
It isn't a dance.
It's a monologue and it isn't starring you.
"Misti," she said.
And then Jesus.
And then sorry.
And then "breaks my heart."
And why.
And why.
And when.
God.
When.
Mary Kay.
First Baptist of Monahans.
Kelview Heights.
Precious Moments.
Hallmark.
You're The Reason God Made Betty Crocker.
And these curtains will save what is left of your life.
And if the curtains don't save you...
the paisley comforter just might.
Sorry.
I'm not a colored girl but I've considered suicide
because the rainbow ain't never
enough.
Ntozake, I feel ya.
All those sorries.
And you could wash a car.
Clean a carpet with all
those soggy sorries.
Sorry is no
kinda currency
here.
