what i should have reconsidered...

a cotton skirt & a windstorm.
ceramic glaze & my favorite blue dress.
your face & a half lifetime of without you.
fourth grade & geography.
pigtails & age 15.
stilettos & sidewalks.
that yellow gingham table cloth & your pinking sheers.
a frog & the fish tank.
your feelings & my misgivings.
a whisk & a halloween costume.
blue toning & my favorite photos.
your 1st birthday & a part-time job.
a baby tooth & a lunch table.
girl scouts & a foul mouth.
bean sprouts & poster board.
microwave meals & final exams.
