7 - New Job

She screams pink
and gold
tasting the lipstick-tinted flavor of
freedom and plastic-held cosmetics

reveling
in the fact that she has been
set loose by makeup
unfettered by face cream and eye cream

eyes opened
and wild
and crinkled into a smile for the first time
triumphant

she knows how ironically her freedom was bought
for one hundred dollars
and how her first fancy dress
gave power to her words
