Lipstick coated, long gold-rolledCigarette-holder pipped. Caught I was, foully."HOW DARK?"...I had not misheard...."ARE YOU LIGHT OR VERY DARK?" Button B. Button A. StenchOf rancid breath of public hide-and-speak.Red booth. Red pillar-box. Red double-tieredOmnibus squelching tar.It was real! ShamedBy ill-mannered silence, surrenderPushed dumbfoundment to beg simplification.Considerate she was, varying the emphasis-"ARE YOU DARK? OR VERY LIGHT" Revelation came"You mean- like plain or milk chocolate?"Her accent was clinical, crushing in its light
