I Got Magic

I have always wanted to be a Princess.

Then I grew up and I want to be a Queen.

With magic.

And it turns out that I am both.

I feel like I have mentioned before how customers will ask me for something and 9 times out of 10 I am right in front of it or it is behind the customer.

Or left.

Or right.

You get it, the point is that the item they are always looking for is near me.

I have even taken to calling myself The Queen of Found Items.

Customers laugh a lot making deprecating comments about their eyes and being a little more patient.

Some days I just point.

Usually that is because this is the 100th customer to ask me for something that is right under their nose.

Otherwise I joke around with them.

I tell them that everyone is like that.

I am like that lol

I even have a name for it.

Infrontofmynoseitis.

The item I am looking for is literally right in front of my nose.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered my abilities extend beyond being in the store.

So now I have magic.

Thus making me a Magical Queen.

Banal Acquisition

Once upon a time

the way all fairy tales start

prince comes

princess goes

flamboyant man

simpering woman

they deserve one another.

Sit through

another grotesque dinner

japes made

feelings shredded

believing

this is reality

chin on hand

glaring over wine cup

sneering

omg

this is the best of them?

Have you heard

how I will save

the country

the economy

everything

god

worship at my feet

marry me

no one else can beat.

Have you 

never seen

curled lip

derision at words

falling

disgust laced

too stupid to realize.

Parade

a’fore me

measure of men

jesters

jackasses

so sick am I

of

strength of stupidity

let them rule

crowed at me.

Shake my head

must make a choice

damn tedious

listening to all the boasting

savior naught

sycophants lie

too bad

you cannot see that.
