Pollyanna
Christopher Barnes, UK
Ambition fashions itself narrowly
deflating girls.
It’s open and shut – even grisly ducklings
spree drugstore complexions, tags,
hospitalizing arts.
See they’re just dandy, touchingly blessed,
grabby with all
the latest-scream fads.

She’d knocked up and out
charged on teenage begetting rates.
A surplus shell suit this month,
window shops pushchairs in lieu
in hopes for a girl like you.
