irrational spontaneity

she buys the pillow before the bedding,
the shoes before the outfit

the dress before the occasion

and the boots before the snow

the photo before the memories,

the bedding before the husband

         she has the pillow before the husband.
         the outfit before the photo.
         and the memories before the snow.

she never does buy the eggs before the cake

 because

where's the spontaneity in that?
