Steel Magnolias

Some guy checked me out today.

Me in the cab.
With my mum.
Minding my own business.
She yapping away.
Me scratching my nose.
Feeling the early beginings of a pimple surfacing.

And then it happened.

Beyond the finger print covered taxi window.
I saw him.
In his shinny black sports car.
This eurasian guy.
This CUTE eurasian guy.
THIS YOUNG (CLOSE TO MY AGE!) CUTE EURASIAN GUY!
Was looking directly at me.
He smiled.

Never in a million years
Would I ever expect
Someone to even notice me ever again.

My hair all bun up.
My face all oily.

He smile.

And what did I do?
Continued scratching my nose.

Talk about super UN-GLAM
God help me.
