powdered city girls

(inspired by ‘Dusty Rose Dreaming’ by poet vb) We’re powdered city girls heading into a club, bright orchids entering the hothouse spreading fun with noblesse oblige, qua somethings suited for silver screens. Our attention’s as uncertain as the stock market. Experts at mixing trickery and disguise, we’re but vague summations of nature, as we sparkling preen, like excited atoms. Rouged and kohled to unnatural colors, dressed in silk-whispers to tease and entice, in neon-light, broken by par-cans, scanners and champagne flutes, we’re superhero-like immune to societal judgment and aghast rebuke. In our few, fleeting nights of youth let our voices chorus in laughter What’s it to you? Tell the truth. . .
