Ode to the Genuine
she's lost her shock
value. the clothes
she wears, nothing
new. white shirt, jeans,
low cut converse
and a jacket
the same everyday.
i wonder how
often she dyes
her hair. flower
changes from white
in the middle
to black petals.
but finally
i saw her mouth
stretch across her
face. worn out
brand? new.

- "That's the price tag, no discounts, no bargains. Losing my first love was like living in a perfect house, with the perfect front porch and matching dormers where the key finally worked to let me in, until without enough warning, it caught fire and was gone, leaving a thin coat of ash that would gray my life for years, making me cry when I saw a perfect front porch or a light shining from an upstairs window."- The One & Only Aunt Nancy
