Power

Tuesday 23 June 2020

Her perfect skin,
perfect make-up,
perfect clothes,
all smooth, fresh,
pastel colored,
looking like a supermodel
from the 60s—
the look is back, apparently—
sweetly smiling to admirers,
and other human beings,
until,
inadvertently,
she glances in my direction,
shock,
quickly looks
away.
That’s my power.
