she stares at the square vase
sitting with her legs crossed
unfolds her hands
manipulated to be "Beautiful"
cut
stored in a fridge
paid for
wrapped
delivered
arranged in its vase on a coffee table
Beauty
manufactured for $29.95
she stares at the vase
like a man staring at a mirror, the first day of his mid-life crisis
sighs a mental sigh
refolds her hands on her lap
