When I turned thirty last week I wore

by jesssouthwood

High
black wedges
with gold bits sexy
dress big earrings
lipstick made my hair
pretty
shaved my legs
slicked
my nails red.
And absolutely
most
importantly
of all
I wore
individually
applied
semi-permanent
false
eyelashes
they
lasted all week
until yesterday walking
around the science
museum I tugged
them
away from
my skin
was left bare
faced
by the brontosaurus
he was
a fake too
