Mirror Figures
Go figure doll.
Watch that figure doll.
Figure it all out.
On Fridays,
mirror figures will take my life.
Go figure doll.
Drop the sugar rules.
Be a darling,
my sweetened schoolgirl.
Be a darling,
know what you’re good for.
And don’t let them stain
your skin with fingertips.
Don’t let them stay long enough
to backhand, or leave handprints.
On Fridays,
mirror figures will lie more.
The camera will add ten times
the amount that I asked for.
My fun costs
whatever you got soldier,
and no I’m not
from around here.
Ask me next year
when I’ve grown older
and more desperate.
Like men who ask dolls
what fun costs.
