for Miss
Southern Decadence 2009
Will they see me
like this?
Head tilted and
eyes, lost
as I look for the
red lipstick
I placed in my
leather purse
beside house keys
and change.
Will they see me
like this?
... with thin lips
drawn out
in a pallid frown,
scowling,
as I look for the
red lipstick
that keeps me from
being
like them. These men.
Will they see me
like this,
and say, Oh, girl!
You're just fine.
as I look for the
red lipstick?
How could I be so
remiss,
so blind, so ... so
sick
as I look for the
red lipstick?
Will they see me like this?
