Girls

pretty girls
wear strings of pearls
and set their hair in golden curls.
they tend to laugh
on your behalf
and live their lives as small bar graphs..

silly girls
wear ostrich furs
and like to ride the tilt-a-whirl.
they tend to eat
popcorn and meat
and kick bees nests with slippered feet.


lonely girls

live not in swirls

their dreams against the wind unfurl.

They tend to yawn

And seem withdrawn

And are not wanted til they’re gone.
