She reached back
and pulled out her lip highlighter
in contrast to commonness.
She lifted the cap off
and proceeded to do hers
into the mirror
of her own words,
like a slow mantra of default
yet exact and precise
in its application.
She then turned to show me
her winning smile.
And then she said,
"remember me by this image,
for I am the goddess
of familiar themes.
I am the diva of countless times.
I am your life lessons
posted on the face
of every next interaction
with yet another.
I am your mentor
of false assumptions.
I am the need
to be special in everyone.
And with a kiss of intention
blown my way,
now building towards
my own inner reflection,
she so savagely
and thunderously replied,
“AND DON’T YOU EVER,
FORGET IT!"
