the young girl's room,
a bubble gum
pink when she was four,
and then
middle school
came along
and she wanted
green and blue and yellow,
so a rainbow it was,
painted
from ceiling down to the floor.
and then
at last
high school
came around
and everything went black,
with little
pinpoint stars
stuck
on the ceiling with tacks.
she called me the other day.
she's married now,
and wants me to stop by
with a fresh
gallon of pink
to paint a room
before her daughter is born.
