Beauty spots don't look so beautiful after sixty years of hanging out on your face.
Elastic skin might not snap back so fast after half a century of stretching and pulling and tearing.
Jupiter eyes most times seem to dull after decade upon decade of seeing things they'd rather not.
But if anybody bothered to look And I'm not saying I have (my skin's still got plenty of snap left)
But if anybody bothered to look Maybe the sparkle our grandparent's eyes had in those old black and white photos from when they still road dinosaurs to work and lived in log cabins with no internet maybe that sparkle didn't really leave even though we haven't seen it since Aunt Betty passed and the house got forclosed on and grandma had to retire maybe it's still there even though grandpa can't feed himself and it embarresses the bejezesus out of him every time he has to ask for help to eat his asparagus maybe it just went inside where the world couldn't get to it put it out for good maybe it's part of their retirement plan kinda like putting money in the bank they're putting the sparkle in a safe deposit box so they've still got it and it's safe and nobody can take it away Not Aunt Betty Not the government Not the doctors Not anybody
Cause, heavens! if you loose the sparkle well, I don't even know.
