Beauty


I told a woman in the street that she was very beautiful. I shocked myself into silence. I never gave it a moments thought, and there it was coming out of my mouth, as I walked by. She smiled. How bizarre. There was no intent, other than the observation. These last few months have made me giddy. I'm attracting all kinds of oddness towards me. It's a roller coaster ride, but there you go.

There's a very fine line between getting away with something odd, and making a terrible faux pas.
