She's a rainbow
-- that rainbow in every
rock song about nothing,
a hidden hook that snares
a sucker's wallet
I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
She
is the philosopher's stone transmuting
garbage lines into shiny trinkets
in desirous minds
*When you're old, nobody will know
that you was a beauty*
What would pop culture be
without woman to exploit?
*She's a gooooooood girl
crazy 'bout Elvis*
Obscured, behind
the Micks and Pettys
the Kellys and Ushers
the Pauls wailing MAMAAAAA
the free spirit groupie cliché
is Woman fictionalized
by peacocking pimps
deceptive plumage splayed
is Woman
sung about
talked at
reduced to an abstraction
dispensed with
forgotten
and sold
and the men
get rich.
