coffee no. 133

Another story from the shopping centre. I see a teenage (around 14 years old) girl dressed in nice and funny but very exaggerated way. She is wearing black jeans, grey T-shirt with a big colorful picture and tons of yellow accessories: huge plastic earrings, headband, hair clips, beads, bracelets, belt, rings, bag... Yellow horror vacui.
Some minutes later I spot a woman in her early fourties, being turquoise horror vacui... I immediately think that it is not a mere coincidence -- she MUST be a mother of that girl.
Finally I meet them both, walking side by side, colorful like two parrots and strangely sad. Their image is smiling from the distance but their faces look like the random pieces of some odd, spooky collage.
