Three Mika Buttons
One Cup of Cash for Charity
Two Battered Medicine Drops
Aqua Net Hairspray
Lots of Dye
Nostalgia from when I believed Beauty Mattered
It doesn’t, though it may help
Two Orange
One Red
One Purple
Various Blacks for Nails and Lips
A Frog and Tortoise
Two Proper Frogs
A Little Empty Pink Box- Perfect
The Tile Floor is Cold
I Remember When I Climbed up Into the Sink
And Scratched at my Reflection
And Sobbed and Sang
It was my only Stage then
I have been provanity since I was TEN
Or Earlier-
Give or Take a decade of decency and depravity
And there’s all your goddamn Shells
Both real and false-
False may be better for your purposes of hollow sweets
Yet the grit from the sand is what we need
I am that sand now
And I’m more beautiful than plastic bubbles
To think I used to give a damn.
TEN-
That’s just sick.
