The sparkle
wears off Ittay's brilliantly gloossed,
shined, crafted layer of
fine manners and grace, and
underneath this Sheen (as in Charlie),
we find a
gremlin who would prefer a small dog
on a bbq, with salt and pepper, thank you.
His smile and deference to his elders is undone
with the slam of his foot to the ground.
