Jewelrylessness | Rebecca Pyle

May 28, 2017

1     

A house, they say, has
Jewelry: study its doorknobs, its hinges.

Get out of the way, says Death—you are wasting
My time!

There is a joke men like to tell.
What is the difference between
A woman and a lady?
Jewelry.

Wear originals, not copies.
Though if you do not understand
The difference, wear none.
