The Mannequin Special

Brian Looney

Am I staring at a mannequin, or is it a real face before me?
I don’t know whether she has good genes or lots of money.

She can’t accept life’s progress, the natural and orderly deterioration of matter.
She places such value in its early structure.
I can tell.

It’s there when I take the order, when she presents her face with confidence.
She wants it to be ageless.
She wants me to think it to myself, wants my mesmerization, my adulation.

I went to put their order in, but all I had written down was something about mannequins.
And I don’t think that’s on the menu.
