Closure Plaque

Q.

What would such a thing
look like or, if you snuck
a lick, taste like? What would it
sound like
if you hit it, gently,
with a child's spoon?

A.

Metallic
powder, or
a hush
after fighting
about the appropriate
lip gloss
for the event,
"and if I change that,
I have to change
the shoes, too,
you just don't
understand
people, what
they'll say . . ."
