The Sparkling Man

Drying himself after his shower

he noticed that his skin was sparkling

and he thought that it was because of his

positive attitude

or the curried chicken rice he had last night

for dinner.

When he went outside and the sun shone on him

he was like walking diamonds.

For attracting women it was better than wearing

Cologne.

Men were uncomfortable around him.

They would have preferred that he was tattooed.

His mother told him to see a doctor.

His boss said that he made him sneeze.

Stress was non-existent.

He had only to look                       at        the             sparkle on his hands

to know that his future was bright.

When he shook his head

the room was filled with cosmic confetti.

At night he was a dancing galaxy

the streetlight was his moon.
