She is naked
and her nose is perfect.
The mirror admires her
as she steps here, steps there,
side to side, all to see
that she looks fine.
Things are lookin’ good today.
She smiles, and looks around
to make sure no one saw that.
She puts on her clothes and recalls a movie.
It went like this:
“Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?”
And the scary bunny said, “Why are you wearing
that stupid human suit?”
She takes off her clothes
expecting to be more of herself,
but it is such a falsehood.
She quickly puts her clothes back on
and sighs relief—
there. She is complete.
She likes her shoes her pants her shirt.
She likes her nose her eyes her mouth.
She doesn’t know what she’d be
without.
