TODAY'S WORD IS...FUCKCIPATION

In this bizarre episode, Keisha heard "we should hang soon." Soon. That terrorist of a word. She spent fourteen days picking an outfit.

Tried on twelve pairs of jeans like she was auditioning for a role she already didn't get. Got her nails done. Got her edges laid. Cleared her Saturday like it was a national holiday.

Friday night he texted. "Something came up." Not someone. Not a funeral. Something. Like his couch had an emergency. And she sat there in her fresh manicure and her pressed edges, holding a weekend she had already named in her head.

She keeps building emotional down payments on maybes that were always nos. Investing in futures that don't exist. Running a mental marathon that ends at a mailbox full of spiderwebs and a coupon for mulch.

Some waiting is patience. Other waiting is a subscription to disappointment with auto-renew.

New words every Friday at 7 AM
