Photograph, Nineteenth Century that woman                         that picture the images of beauty and softness of something that shouldn’t be touched that couldn’t work             that can’t work the sepia toning                 oh how ancient oh the dependency            oh the degradation my mind has been cluttered society’s a bastard I can’t see the women I see the hat            the feather the adornments of beauty the preposterous impractical way she has been made to be seen and not heard she’s only an image she was forced with an image is it a shame            is it a sin and now I’ve been tainted with the knowledge of society with the knowledge of it’s motives and now I can’t even see the beauty I can only see the oppression “oh, it’s not like that anymore” they say as I wipe the make-up off my eyelids and wonder who I’m trying to impress Copyright Janet Kuypers.
