Mandy
I imagine the inside of her apartment
has plants
and her living room smells like
deodorant
and pomegranates.
And the walls are painted
a nice kind of coral shade,
the color of mouse ears
and lipstick
and the dress suits my mother wears.
Maybe she’ll be cooking
Reading
Delicate
A domesticated flamingo
Sometimes she leaves.
But then I think
that is illogical
because
we’re not allowed
to paint the walls.
