Lately, Chelsea

she had great earrings today.

they were replicas of feathers,
made with recycled plastic,
using a 3D printer.

she also wore a shirt made of plastic bags
just to shove it in the face of people passing by.

her olive skin made me try not to
stare every time I walked by her booth,
and her laughter at my dumb jokes
made me rejoice in disbelief.

after the long day,
a few of us makers decided
to go to a local bar and grill
to drink beer and blow off steam,
and I invited her but she never showed.
