THE PATIENT SHRINK'S ABUSE MOST
A Poem I wrote this morning -
Look Beyond
the glittering peach eyeshadow
there appears a girl
every day that's overshadowed
?Look beyond
the cherry bomb lipstick smile
there appears a girl
holding in a lot of bile.
?
Look Beyond
the feathered pink sweater
there appears a girl
weathered from her debtors
?
Look beyond
the silk stockings clinging to her legs
there appears a girl
that's walked on many eggs
?
Look beyond
the studded red stilettos
there appears a girl
that grew up in the ghetto
