244/365 - Amaranthine

 


I think my neighbor
hates me now
I don't mean to make her mad
but something I did 
the other day
made her feel like she'd been had
It started with
a white silk flower
and a forgotten
pot of dirt
One was found
in a parking lot
the other was
on my neighbor's porch
I put the flower
in the pot
(I don't really know why)
A week later
I caught her watering it
she called me over
and when I said "hi"
she gushed
for a full five minutes
about how it just grew
one day
so I told her
what I did
and now she's quite 
angry
