Swirl’s Chewed Things: Eschewed Beauty Products

Hello. I am Swirl.

I am chagrined to say that yesterday I ate a lipstick.

I don’t even use lipstick or any kind of beauty aid. For obvious reasons.

I thought it was a white sausage. There are such things.

I didn’t eat it whole. I’m not a python.

I chewed it into little bits and then threw up the bits in the back yard on a pile of leaves.

It looked like art.

  2. An artiste
    Shall we call you Munch?
    After the great Edvard
    Who painted The Scream
    Which is what your people do
    When you chew

  3. Not a bad idea…the abstract leaf art. Swirl can earn his keep and pay for a new lipstick as well.

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.
