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.
