Great grandma collected this set
piece by piece at the movie theater.
Times are hard again, so I would also
like a piece of china to go with my entry
ticket and later serve meals catered by
love stories in the dark. They barely
release those kinds of films in theaters
anymore, and another plastic superhero
cup is not the same even if it does come
with free refills. I want the romance of cabbage
roses filling my cupboard plate by plate.
I want to know that if I go into the dark
and collect ninety minutes of heartache
into a cup, I can come back for the saucer.
