she's the after-burn of secondhand smoke
in your laid-back midsummer nights
the classic black and white film noir victim
in this scripted tragedy of good girl gone bad reality tv.she's the prinsesa in your hardcore punk music scene,
pole-dancing like a vintage tease
and stripping to the tune of rock and roll ballads
while drenched in tequila shots.she's the pretty little nymph in your wildest fantasies
your dirty little secret broadcasted in a tabloid scandal exposè.
her innocence is alluring, her smile has a double-meaning
and you tattooed her name on your left shoulder blade—
an innuendo for disaster and a pseudonym for catastrophe.she's a car crash type of beautiful
a hot mess in lace.
she sips sunsets in red plastic cups
and writes suicide notes in newsprints.she's the rain on a sunny day and
an eclipse on a wednesday night.
she wears a rosary around her neck
and sings psalms before she sleeps.she kisses teddy bears goodnight
and throws a tantrum before
she takes her medication.she thinks there's a conspiracy in psychology
and the music she listens to has subliminal messages.
she wonders why there's a pyramid on a dollar bill
and why no one can escape this rabbit hole alive.
