Imperfect Vision of Perfection

Gleaming from your glossy page.
Posing on your stapled stage. Slender
wasp-like waist so sleek, smiling paint-brush,
porcelain teeth, waving wispy, willow limbs,
tresses tousled by the wind.
Collagen injected lips,
lipo-suctioned butt and hips.
Fabulous,
flawless,
faux, orbed breasts,
spilling forth from low cut dress.
Bony, waifish apparition
empty eyes filled with contrition.
Highlighted, twilighted photo retouched.
Made up, played up, airbrushed.
Improbable, impossible, feminine view,
I wonder if you know
it's you?
