🗝 THE FINGERPRINT CONFESSION
— A Seven After Dark Micro-Monologue
I told everyone I was in Denver to file paperwork.
Technically, that wasn’t a lie.
The Department of Excise & Licenses sits right there — stark lighting, plastic chairs, the hum of a fingerprint scanner that smells faintly like sanitizer and civic disappointment.
You press each finger down like a quiet crime.
Left thumb. Right thumb.
Smile for the camera. No smiling allowed.
They don’t tell you that every dancer’s fingerprints live in a government vault forever.
I like to imagine the agent scrolling through file numbers thinking:
And the whole time?
In my bag — parked at a meter across from the U.S. Mint —
were 7-inch platform heels, a micro lace thong, and a showgirl outfit rolled tighter than a $100 bill.
Because the minute the scanner beeped “APPROVED”,
I wasn’t going home —
I was heading to a private event where I didn’t need to show ID at the door.
No one at City Licensing needs to know I walked out of a government building with legal paperwork in one hand and a stripper bag full of glitter in the other.
But between you and me?
Every time I walk by that Mint,
I still wonder who honestly got away with more that day:
Them, printing coins behind iron bars…
…or me, walking past the cameras with a license to undress and a very expensive smile.
Signed, Seven
