Little girl runs screaming to mother
about her encounter
with the ribbon man
Teenage girl believes herself
free to be a trampoline
offering all sorts a rugged bounce
Newly installed queen
rules over her anathema and sacrilege
with shiny neurotic scepter
Powerless to discern
shelter from serpent
Incapable of entering
into the kingdom of love
