letter to the editor

By Auroura

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

dear sir I'm not a whore so stop trying to make me turn tricks I don't want to snag my prince in five easy steps (no one worthwhile is that easy) I don't want to enhance my eyes with your new mascara either this inquiring mind would rather know why she's getting seventy cents to the man's dollar why modeling agencies recruit anorexics why you aren't asking the same questions I know I know your job is to sell me society in a pretty package don't bother last time I bought it I developed bulimia so keep your pop psychology and your prepubescent waifs I'm warped enough to see through the looking glass Alicedoes this come off as too bitter?
