2008
Heavy metel music,
heavy metal nerves.
With Gucci, Prada and LV,
came crushes of joy.
"Not worth it," the husband winges.
"But I love it," the wife pouts.
I'm delighted to have been introduced
to the world of materialism.
Pat it on,
brush it smooth.
Let the foundation
be your foundation.
Mascara the eyelashes,
eyeliner the eyes.
View the made-up world
through our made-up selves.
