Splash of a Drop
The light reflects off its surface in a pale blue colour. Its shimmer is recognised as nothing but its own. The gravity, the weight – how it falls into the hand. Spray on the left wrist, right wrist, centre of the neck. It takes you there. Who wouldn’t want to own it? Turn around, no one in sight. A silent whisper: I dare you… It’s funny, because didn’t you just think to yourself: never would I steal a drug store perfume.
