AT THE COUNTRYSIDE.

I got blow-out on my hair Am at the countryside A mixture of emotions Envy, admiration, hatred And jeering too. I got sunglasses on my face That gives me The unwelcome company Of confused glances At the countryside. I got a necklace around my neck Glittering with life Never puts it down even at sleep It is not “manly” At the countryside.
