call me hope

my friend Harriet
told me
the other day that she was
going to rename herself
Hope.
i'm sticking with the H
so that i won't
have to change
the monograms on all
the towels.
she's going down
to the courthouse
to have it officially done,
and then
having a party
with all her friends 
to celebrate her new moniker.
i think my life will
be better now, she tells me.
i'm more optimistic
about finding a man
and a better job.
great, i tell her. this should
do it.
at least i hope so.
