Lipstick on your face

The corners of my lips have of late been peeling. The cracks let through blood in saltified slits. A remedy was needed and in a hurry. I remember watching a Stupid Human Trick on The Late Show a few months ago. There was this guy who sucked the air out of Coke bottles and then slid them across his face so that they would just hang off his face. I thought I would try this with a Bickford bottle. Blood from under the frail skin of the right side of my mouth shot straight to deep purple. I now look as though the car jostled as I was applying my lipstick.

I don't wear lipstick.
