Today I want to wear red lipstick
The kind that doesn't suit my skin
To go out with a man of science who worships nothing
But me.
I know my limitations
Daydreams, they call them
Maladaptive
I am adapting well enough, why, thank you
Can't a woman dream?
What else is there in life? Dream big and small,
My sisters,
Shake out every bit of happiness that you can get.
No one is going to give it to us,
Sad, sad world with a just enough time to dream.
Last night I dreamt of being in a completely different city
An entirely different girl
I was happy. Excited, nervous, reveling with friends 
Waking up I saw my calendar and went back to sleep.
I'm still thinking of wearing some red lipstick
With or without a man in my arms
Only to wipe it off and shower away my dreams.
