Perfection




That girl in the airport.
She’s reading books by Dave Eggers. 
She’s eating almonds for snacks 
and has a best friend--a boy
sitting next to her.
And you can bet they’ve rock climbed together, 
or gone to Norway together,
and maybe even decided to be just friends.
And there’s a 30 percent chance her name is Kate. 
And that she exercises daily.

  1. A little window into your ideas of perfection.
    Intriguing...no mention of flossing.

  2. Perfect teeth never need flossing. That's what I tell myself, anyway.

  3. It probably is Kate. Yeah, I may have met her once and I think I remember that her name is Kate.
