Glittering

They are getting ready for an outing.
She is putting on glittering face stickers.
In many colors.
Around her eyes and between her brows.


He looks up at her.
-''What's that on your face?''
-''Face stickers! Never seen 'em before?''

He laughs. Hard.
''It looks funny, but OK!''
''Funny!'', she's indignant.
''It's sexy!''

But the damn things won't stick properly.
They keep falling off.
'It's because of the make up'', she explains.
''How do all those chicks in pictures 
manage to keep 'em in place?''

Then she gives up.
''Oh, why bother?''
''I don't need this shit, anyway.''
''I'm glittering from the inside out when I'm with you!''
