Bad Beauty Practice

Painting your nails right before bed
is not a good idea

the stench of your 
freshly laquered tips
fills your nostrils
with a chemical smell
that you're almost certain (after
lengthy exposure) could kill
a small, furry animal - probably
the same king this toxic beauty
paint was tested on.

But - you consolation prize
for indirectly killing a bunny
is, Hey - at least your nails are pink and sparkly.
You of course know that this
vein of phrases is in 
the same family as
Hey - at least you weren't
in love with him...
the family ofphrases where
visits always leave you feeling
hollow.

The last discouragement 
against this practice is
the inevitability
of seeing that one perfectly painted pointer
smudged and chipped
as your reach for your
alarm clock in the morning, 
leaving dreams
and pink sparkle flecks
on the pillow.
