Calling the Kettle Black

Sarah Marie

your chest is an icebox’
a Japanese girl
wearing white hair
and shining go-go boots,
sings to me during
a hazed night as she
walks on bar tops,
stripping to the typical crowd
of sulking white males
mesmerized-- their eyes glowing red.

��I blink, time passes.
a man so dark,
donning diamonds larger than
uncoiled intestines
blurts out dirty words
aggressively.
parting the crowd of
vibrating, shaking young girls
grinding away their virginity
To the beat of a forgotten ballerina box,
all within a white, pillowy dream
inside their heads.

��I sigh, the clock proceeds.
I turn the channel to a
Thirty year old actress
with mutated lips-
puffing tissue like sausage.
lying in the bathtub
straddling a hairy, mysterious stranger
all in the name of fake art.
cameramen avoid erections as
girls exhale with envy-
what a lucky girl, they whine.

all as
undersized girls-
two feet tall with
blonde hair past their feet
and altered, enlarged breasts
cry,
starving,
askew- desperate to fit in with this
Holl[ow]wood deformity.
