"Where are we going, Mom?"
"To the mall," she said.
We did this often
While father was at the office
Searching for a gift for someone's future birthday
Or just wanting to get away from the heat.
At Christmas time
I watched the JCPenney employee
As she wrapped presents with dainty fingers
It hypnotized me into a state of butterfly tummy warmth
So well that I sometimes caught myself drooling.
But on this particular day,
As I played between the clothing racks and displays
Mom was looking for diamonds
She loved diamonds
For the ultimate merge
She hoped would come
Someday.

Dear Tweezers,
I had planned to donate this piece to the Charity Gallery for ArtNationX but decided that this piece is best to be with you - it just feels right. And I know I said it publicly and so now saying it publicly again that I've changed my mind and will use a different piece that will fit that story better. It's funny how the stories just fall into place. I am so happy I met you and thank you for being my friend.
Cheers,
TheDigitalCoy
