i lean against it
relaxed
watching the minutes on the washer
3 minutes
the wall behind the washer is green
i mean avocado green
really avocado green
not that 70's version of the same
it reminds me of guacamole
and for a minute
or just a second
i wonder what it tastes like
2 minutes
i imagine that it wouldn't taste like guacamole at all
but perhaps a strange and unusual blend of sweat and chalk
and it would be gritty
yes
and i would definitely make a face
i think it just told me to lick it
but i refuse
1 minute
if it did taste like guacamole
it would taste like the stuff
that you buy in the box at the store
not at all homemade
not worth a lick
not at all
not even close

If it's lead paint, it would be sweet. And crunchy. mmmm.
Fun.
you ate lead paint as a kid???
Not that I know of. But I hear things....
I think I may have tossed back a few lead paint chips as a kid too. It really does explain a lot. ;-P It sounds like just for a second you were in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with the lickable wall paper.
