Glitz-n-Glamour Spotlights glare, melting the pavement where the beautiful walk. We stare--mesmerized, as if we are looking upon the images of Gods. The faux furs with diamond cuffs. Breasts perfect, always firm and pointing in the right direction. Teeth, brilliantly white and in their appropriate places. Smiles that blind, hiding the filth of the city. They give their royalty waves as we devour their attention. The Kings and Queens dismount our paltry, peasant-like passions. --We seek your perfection! We dream of being like them. We mimic their movements, we grovel for their shrines. How we long for the happiness that has succeeded in invading their very presence, while we dine ala carte on despair. And when they go to their pristine castles that hide from the eyes of the flock, they'll down a few pills with a shot of whiskey. Removing the faux furs, their flesh is withered from self-induced deprivation. The beautiful blond wig comes off to find a head weary in it's lack of lustrous locks. Their beautiful teeth, now sit in a jar next to the pain pills in the bathroom with imported Italian tile, since the pain of the latest breasts implants heaves a heavy blow each night. They crawl into their eighteenth century four poster bed, the one that a famous poet slept in so many years ago and turn their backs to each other. The booze and pills are taking their affects now and the numbing release is apparently close as their eyelids flutter and finally close... One teardrop escapes before their glitz-n-glamour dreams begin. It found solace upon the French downy comforter, where at least it felt passion before it finally dissolved into the emptiness. |

"Smiles that blind, hiding the filth of the city" Having lived in Hollywood many years ago, I grin at this in understanding. Faux faces, indeed. |
