Ode to Barbie
Lu Pierro
Hail oh plastic skinned mannequin,
blond haired vacant- eyed goddess,
tall beyond belief,
breasts from a man’s wet dream,
hipless, cellulite-free idol of vanity,
vagina-less virgin of the toy industry.
I hold you in my pudgy hand
next to my concave chest,
then up to my pimply face.
I kiss you with silvery braced teeth
and ask
“Don’t you wish you were me?”
