The Flawless Dream


I stretch in the morning as elasta-girl

my body moves perfectly and satisfies in all the right places.

shoulder, pop

hip, pop pop

back

        pop 

              pop 

        pop

I fill my neverending mug with the most delicious midnight drink

Dark as the devil but warm as a mother's expert hug.

I envelop myself in the newest finery

Silk drapes down my body welcoming my impeccable curves.

I jingle out the door as my diamond earings sparkle from the immaculate sun

She smiles at me as my beautiful skin soaks up her gifts and my hair radiates her love.

I dance to my stainless car

skip

    spring

          soar

Gliding through the beauty of my world I arrive at my kingdom.

As people absorb my perfection we smile in greeting and hug as lovers do

Then I see him....

Perfection in the opposite sex

mine.

MINE!

I bound, I leap, I spring at him as a lioness finds her mate.

And I awaken. 

I awaken in my dirty bed.

With my greasy face and oily hair.

Enclothed with my handed down garb.

But I like this life. 

I love this life. 

This is MY perfect life.
