love in a jersey mall bathroom

[imadjinnation]

Making a movie in Jersey
of course there is a mall
too many coffee flavored frappes

I have to go

there's a line of course

I stand by that little vending machine

there it is
between tampons
feminine napkins
and single shots of artificially flavored lip gloss

love

or courage strength or
any of the inspiring words
that will fit on an inch of rubber

fifty cents for the word of the day
something serindipitous
inspires, conspires me out of my two shiny whirlybirds

shink, clunk, swoosh, thud

love is deposited into my hand via a small yellow box.
