Tips by Fiona Jones


It’s really not an issue
if you don’t give a damn.
Probably wasn’t gonna work out anyways.
Cool hair though.
I like what you did with it.
The blue really complements your eyes
and what’s reflected in them too.
The red tips, not so much.
Red tips lie.
I had red tips once.
A bit more pinkish though.
Remember when you gave me that dye?
And when I tried to give you a septum piercing in return 
with those $8 piercing kits I bought us?
I can see your nose remembers well.
Noses have good memories.
You can tell a lot about someone from their nose,
like the holes in yours
or the way that his frames his red cheeks.
They complement his red tips pretty well, huh?
