An unimaginative girl in high heeled shoes That pinched her toes like a metaphor Of painful societal beauty Once asked me a silly question: "Why do you wear such horribly huge pants?" Well my dear, If I buy sweatpants big enough to swim in, And I let them slip under my barefooted heels To become a part of me, I am the mermaid of my dreams.
