The Light in this Place


               .... and the counterman in white, stooped as he is and unmoving , and the man on the other stool, unmoving except to sip his coffee .......
                                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                    And she's thinking the light in this place is too bright, probably not very flattering. She hates it when her lipstick wears off and her makeup gets caked ....
