my new Tao: bold “statement” jewelry

chunky cocktail rings

like that one

that Vera Wang micro-pave

“engagement” ring

it lit up the room, and said (it’s a “statement”, after all):

“she’s MINE”

the chocolate and flowers will only last a week,

but she’ll keep a piece of jewelry she really likes

longer

everything became facetious, we just didn’t know it

the latter day, the 21st century.

it was innocent enough: we just put quotes  around too many words.
