Having drunk way tooo much champagne
at the opening of Golden Hall,
wearing my golden-leaved shoes,
im questioning luxury.
The ability to say no,
the people u know,
the friends you have,
the shoes you own.
Questionmark.
Summing up to the fact,
that luxury is
the capability to say yes,
to have your morning coffee at “Vivliothiki”
with grannies, at the next table,
eating shrimps & salad.
The smell of Soupline all over your home.
Luxury is when u ask your mirror
who is the most beautiful of all.
- And he never replies -
