Tell Me


I saw a commercial the other day

but I don't know what it was selling

A woman wearing nothing slid

     down

          the 

               hood

               of a

            car

but I don't know why.

And advertisments boggle me

shouting from billboards

"BUY NOW"

"YOU NEED IT"

"BARGAINS"

I wish they'd disappear

stop telling me what beauty is

I think I'd like to find out for myself.
