transmogrification

the other day
i took a bath
mostly i shower
but my back was aching

i had a cup of coffee
but what you may not know about me
is that i don't have a big cadre of cups just hanging out
and then i pick the mug by mood
i have, sorry, had
this big
pink
mug

it's size and proportion comfortable
it's material [thick porcelain] perfect in texture and heft
i bought it in a whole foods
like
maybe ten years ago

anyway
you probably saw this coming, but
i broke it

so yesterday
i went a couple places, looking for a new mug
the potter who made the first one
seems to have vanished
the guild of potters
disbanded

then i went to this little shop in the village

and i saw these beads
they are green plastic faux cinnabar
i mean they like glowed
but i didn't see china
i saw jaguar jade
mayan priestess necklace

i guess i was inspired

i've got to find some spacer beads
and
i need
because it came to me in a flash
one of those gold plated pre colombian frog pendants
like you could by in every museum gift shop world wide in the seventies
