this just made my day*

Right now, Lin, imagine the mansion of your wildest dreams.
Happy, shiny, and filled with laughing friends
who are carrying you through the giant double doors,
across the marble entry hall,
marching you up and down the circular stairway
on their shoulders.

A live band blasting out back by the dock,
a water polo match in the pool
that was recently spiked with bubble bath,
the paparazzi flying in low on helicopters
to catch just a glimpse of you.
Speed boats, sailboats,
and so many jet skis
whizzing around
that your neighbors think
James Bond, Kanye West, or Beyoncé,
must have been invited...

And then suddenly,
when you think it just couldn't get any better,
the doorbell GONGS, and everyone falls silent.

Yes!! Pizza guy!!

You really know how to live.
The Universe

Nice gardens, Lin!
I didn't know you played tennis!
And whose idea were all the naked statues posing like that?
