Karineh Mahdessian

SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR LONG QUESTION

yes.
yes it's taken me 24 hours to pen these
lines while cognizant of the socio-politico
rammafications of my declarations of grown
woman's jealousy vis-a-vis a slice of pizza.
it brings you instant gratifications.
while i,
with almost-there kisses and silly demarcations
a few wise cracks and plenty of facial expressions
four-inch black and white bcbg heels and random pontifications
cant seem to get your attention.

next time they ask. what i want to be when i grow up. i’ll respond.

a slice of pizza. to come from your mouth and leave taste dancing on tongue.
