Some
people sweep you right off of your feet
Other
people clobber you until you retreat
Beth
keeps you off balance with her vertigo eyes that are not afraid to size you up
and come to a decision that is ultimately out of our paltry reach
May
appear oblivious, but I believe she’s as slippery as a cat on a hot tin roof
keeping to her vegan diet by only consuming fruits, vegetables, tofu, assorted
grains and nuts when she’s feeling her oats
When
we eat at the Amazing Wok II she’s always covered with her meal midway through,
but she pulls it off with aplomb while covering the stains with a bullet proof coat
of pastels
Some
people attempt pulling the wool over your eyes by presenting themselves as a
sheep in wolves clothing
Other
people know only too well that a deceitful heart will clog up your arteries
Beth
changes the menu by putting her ear to the earth listening for earthquakes and other
natural disasters
I
enjoy shopping with her as she goes in search of natural peanut butter and I
stem the tide by foraging for frozen pizzas and everything else that’s not good
for me
Going
to the movies is always a blast because she brings a mixture of caramel corn
and popcorn in Ziploc baggies for everyone in our group
I
don’t even mind when she talks during the film because she brings a fresh
perspective with her interpretative dance moves
Some
people constantly disappoint with their lack of ingenuity
Other
people clamor like cockroaches from behind the icebox without a clear thought
in their MacGyver skulls
Beth
is in her own lane, keeping things fresh and prejudice free because she never
judges or makes up her mind before hearing all of the evidence presented to her
on a stainless steel platter
