And chose the ugliest doll. Whose print had smeared in the factory To be my little made up me.

She’ll be happy. She’ll be confetti.

Like poetry- the poem you printed out 27 copies of For all your friends to read. (Three of which did and the rest smiled politely.) That thought sends a spasm through your arched back. Letting water seep up your nose, But it’s a pleasant feeling, Like being born. The rest of your limbs are hPoetry from the Depression: 1
