Red-haired artificially
with shiny teeth,
clean knees
with a gap in between.
and my voice will carry
like a songbird in the morning.
Beautifully composed
uttering a peaceful warning
My linens
So pink...
no blue stains to be seen.
And the skin I wear
Porcelain.
airbrushed and screaming
a lulled importance
With my night creams
and appointments
lessons and ointments
I will become the most perfect woman-made sculpture America has ever seen.

Red-haired artificially
with shiny teeth,

and my voice will carry

And the skin I wear
Porcelain.
airbrushed and screaming
a lulled importance
With my night creams

lessons and ointments
I will become the most perfect woman-made sculpture America has ever seen.
