Poems
Jan 2018
epidemic
its an epidemic
of sickeningly perfect
parallel
red lines
its an epidemic
of sweatshirts
pulled far over hands
and pants
too long for the weather
its an epidemic
of numbers too high
almost as high
as ponytails of girls
on their knees in bathrooms
its an epidemic
of fake smiles
of two coats of foundation
over a red splotchy face;
finish it off with waterproof mascara
to hide the stains
its an epidemic
i know you know of it too
inspired by The Treatment series by Suzanne Young
