unauthorized biography, complete
with pixelated paparazzi photos and
an in-depth analysis of her sparsely
poetic grocery list. until then, i
continue collecting her cleverly
subjected emails (sporadic thought
they may be) and await her next
publication with bated breath.
Ms. K, who then proceeded, with focused
ambition and hipster glee, to knock my
socks off. Oh, the places she'll go!
Nose a' pointy
Voice a' nosey nasal
Fingers a' flutter
Archiving every single move.
Posture a' perfect
Hair a' moppy masterpiece
Mona Lisa smile...long before it was a'
Julia Roberts movie.
Mind a' brilliant
Smile a' mazing
Tits a' perky
Sculpting banter verbage into art.
Legs a' boney
Just a'nuff booty
amicably snooty
Watch out dude, she's fuckin' fierce.

good job, I must say. She sets her
sights high, but isn't afraid to admit

smiling!
The Kathy. Oh my goody-goodness
gracious, the things I could tell you.
Because, please believe me, I could
tell you some THINGS. Indeed I could.
But . . . they would all be good
things. Because she is The Best-Most.
And so I will not tell you. Because
you might then feel inadequate, and
become sad.
there you could see her naked body
everywhere in the BU art department.
She makes killer mixed tapes and has
trouble sitting still. She's a keeper.
