Fire-smelted red lipstick. To mark

            and yet so that no wine has the balls to stain you back.

 

A coin with the same side on both sides

because God is just available enough to make all of your life choices for you.

 

A copy of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction so you can get pumped

            even when there is no power bar at hand.

 

Tampons.

 

A picture of Venus de Milo. As a juju

            and that carrying a picture of a half naked women with you at all time can never go wrong.

 

The seasons spring, summer, and winter.

            You don’t need excuses to bring out the thigh high boots and flavor everything in pumpkin.

 

Lip gloss. A girl’s smile

is her best ammunition in cases short of weaponry.

 

An axe. Just in case you lost the gloss.

 

A sleeping pill—when all fails

            sleep solves all shenanigans.
