MTF

One cookbook,
new lipstick,
a tube of brow gel
to replace your old brow gel
that I got you two Christmas’s ago.

If what they say about makeup is true
you should have replaced it long ago.

But isn’t it hard to keep up with that,
every six months, every three months,
every year.

I haven’t changed out my toothbrush in 18 months.

I like it’s grip.

The small bristles that sometimes come out between my teeth,
I won’t replace it anytime soon.

Happy birthday.
