She glid into the room, her
sultry eyes raking all assembled
with rays of excitement.
The stench of fun hung over her
and all the air in the room moved
as if whispering gossip. She knew
every word
that could be truthfully said
almost as well as she knew
the lies.
And she stepped
with the light on her
and sliding off,
out into the center of attention
and right through, towards
the rows of colored bottles
and cups, laid out like toys
by a child with a cardboard crown.
