I painted my nails today
first time in years
blue white and pink
the blue was runny
more liquid than water
barely holding pigment
needs too meny coats
and yet
it's blue
the white is like glue
half screwed lid
miracle it's not solid
the lid squeaks when I put it on
and yet
it's white
the pink is not pink
lost in my sisters room
iridescent lilac, barley any left
sparkly and goop
and yet
it's pink
I painted my nails
first time in years
and yet
it's me.
