After Dennis Came Warm White Horses

Dennis left the smell of oil behind him in the kitchen, and I began heating water for tea.
S asked if there was enough in the pot for him.
I lied and told him no.
I told him I had lied when I told him no.
T appeared with a big cardboard box.
I noted the box came from Evil Borders.
The box is for you, S and T said.
T handed me a knife with which I sliced open the tape across the top of the box.
Inside was full with crumpled colored newspaper.
I dug and reaped:

• a gun to blow bubbles out my car's window in spring
• a plastic empty head out of which grass will grow, gummy worms inside
• a purple lollipop which sprays purple sugar out its top
• some kind of orange biscuit biscotti cookie eats
• a gigantic psychedelicolored bouncy ball
• the game Taboo

The fellas rocked the toy store and the night with new heat.
T asked if there was enough water in the pot for him.
S lied and told him no.
I told T that S was lying.
We all ate cheesecake in early honor of my birthday and it was good.
