My Favorite Silk Scarf
Published in

My favorite silk scarf,
the red and yellow one with the checkered border,
flew into the seine today,
and I keep replaying the image of it
floating down into the water
and I want to cry.
It was pretty expensive.
I bought it online.
And it made me feel so cool
curls poking out every which way.
Before I left
I was looking at myself
in my favorite silk scarf,
the red and yellow one with the checkered border,
and I looked so cool.
And I looked exactly like myself.
And I want to cry.
