A doll's best feature?
her porcelain skin.
No scars from climbing
just a little too high and
hitting your head on the way down
No marks from the red
that even covergirl
can't hide.
Even color- flawless work.
Marble statues are the same-
smooth to the touch
never dry
or oily
or wrinkly
Cool and put together
in a way we never are.
If only we could be like them.
If only we could achieve perfection.
If only we could be set on a shelf
to be admired by all.
If only we could be
just like them-
lifeless.
