Model
Cindy Duhe
Stalks of lettuce crisply break
while shoes are broken in, down the glamourous catwalk,
in the day in the life of a model.
Purple and Orange are the colours of the season
draped around the purple track marks
where the needles were inserted
in the day in the life of a model.
Rail thin
riding the subway
to another fitting
while wearing a size two
during this day in the life of a model.
People always envy
the beauty,
not seeing all that it takes to get there,
with fingers and amphetemines
to try to look normal
under all the make-up that is worn
in the day in the life of a model.
Modeling, to the rest of the world,
how to be,
while struggling to find it,
herself
