Rose in a glass

the term “rose in a gl-ss” does in fact refer to just that, a silk rose in a gl-ss tube, purchased in bulk from vendors in china. the rose, however, is incidental, because it’s the gl-ss that serves the purpose as a crack pipe. often bought alongside a ch-r- boy, wool pads that you would normally use as cleaning pads. the ch-r- boy is used as a filter between the rock and the users mouth.
i surprised my girlfriend with a rose in a gl-ss, who would have thought such a small token of my love would have brought her such joy. she is very careless and clumsy, she cracked my gift after having it less than an hour. as i watched her grab a can of her favorite soda to console herself, i handed her another “love rose”. “be more careful with this one my dear,” i said. “i only have 34 more.” “then i don’t want this green one,” she lamented. “roses aren’t green, they’re pink, or white, or red.” i handed her three of each color, like a gl-ss bouquet. “it must have taken you so long to find so many,” she said. i told her that i collected them for her over a period of time, picking up one or two, three when i felt adventurous. “was it love, or did it feel like a ch-r-?” she asked. i said, “i do what i do out of love, i am not your ch-r- boy.” we spent a rare night filled with the kind of joy that only small gifts can bring. think of the wonderful feelings of comfort and security a box of love can bring to a couple who appreciates the smaller things in life, who live clean, and love to share a blast together.
