Blanche


How would Blanche love me?
I smile politely
She seems not to care
I blow her kisses
She then turns her face
I know what to do
I'll pick this black rose
And give it to her
Her eyes wide open
She now smiles at me
and kisses my cheek

  2. Weakness for aromatic colors is telling. It is not just symbolic in truth but it goes directly to a girl's heart!

  4. Lovely, and written so smoothly, with such apparent ease. I love the anti-climactic kiss on the cheek.

  10. We always appreciate our opposites the most--very clever of the narrator.
