The Covered Duct
One of my clients is a beautiful, tall blonde in her early fourties. Just in case she googles her name (something I wouldn’t put past her narcissistically pampered and beminiskirted ass) I will call her “Covereducterella” in reference to her one obvious fault.
She has the covered duct thing going on.
Many years ago I worked with a girl named “Mara”–and another named Narda, and a third named Cindy. They were all hot; I was still within my 21 years of virginity and their exotic names, especially Cindy’s, added to the unattainable allure my 20-year-old self found in them. Anyway, Mara had the same condition as Covereducterella.
Look in the mirror and examine the corner of your lovely brown eyes (your actual loveliness and eye-color may vary, but I bet you have beautiful peepers, too) and note the spot of pink in the corner of your eye. This is where eye-goop accumulates during head-colds and allergy attacks, and also from whence tears flow during the many times daily that I cry like a little bitch.
Covereducterella and my old friend Mara, however, both have rounded eyes that end before exposing that pink wetness. In both cases no one knows what the hell I’m talking about when I mention it, and in both cases I have the inexplicable urge to reach out and pinch the bridge of their nose.
“Where do your tears come from, eh insert name here? Do you never allow yourself to cry, or does it come from your nose in a thin stream of delicate mucus?”
This is not socially acceptable; so, like a good boy, I keep my hands to myself and bite my tongue–hard enough that tears come out of my ducts and I once again cry like a little bitch. That makes four times today already. I pause, look in a mirror, and admire my pink wetness.
…yes, I know what I just said.



i’m rushing off to the mirror right now.
this rules!
dude, i know about the Covereducterella i knew exactly what you are
talking about from staring at myselft in the mirror over the years.
but i have never looked at anyone else to see. now i am on the prowl!
haha.. this was a good one.
Transience: Don’t look now, but Bjork has covered ducts…
anonymous:Prowling is good, plowing is not…in this context.
sarah:Yay! Thanks. So…are your ducts covered?
they are not covered.. i have very.. almond shaped eyes.
Although my self-portrait fails to depict it clearly, I’m uncovereduct. I once interviewed a woman who was a combination covereduct-looselowerlid. When her ducts loosed, the lower eye lid made room for over a tablespoon of tears instead of spilling them. I couldn’t take my eyes off the gutters once they began to fill! Eventually, she (with practiced flare, just short of melodrama) raised a pinky and coerced the pelican-jaw-looking pouches to drain. And the home-made wet t-shirt contest winner is…!
Sarah:Really? What nationality are you? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of you except for the disembodied mouth with tongue.
veach:Your self portrait is a patch of rendered color. It fails to depict any of your features clearly. But you knew that, didn’t you?
