Used tea cups

The hair cutting salon has a chandelier, lustfully adorned with fake crystal

I watch this woman getting her hair dyed,
watching her watching herself.
It feels like I am the only witness.

Like a nightmare, where you know a friend is close by your side,
but he can't see,
and you can't explain

The barber picks up the used tea cups and hesitates a bit just before leaving,
he has to wait for the dye to dry.
