21st Century Schizoid Woman

by Jasmine Sword-Mann

She is Suburb Suzy:
the portrait in the mirror with
a polarized Prozac smile and
perfectly plucked eyebrows.

Wears black heels to the
laundromat, red lipstick
to the bank. Sucks off her boss
in the bathroom during the
holiday party.

She is at her best a whore,
at the least a woman. And
gives a marvelous hand job.

At midnight she leaves the
curtains open, fingers deeply
her vagina as the voyeurs fondle
their hard cocks and dream of
plowing between her snow white
thighs.

With plaster white breasts pressed
against her window, nipples erect
in the cold December breeze,
she lets out a shuddering moan
and dreams of love.

Author's Note: This is one of those "I'll revise it later" poems that I'll never actually end up revising. It's written, at least.

All prurience aside, this is probably a better poem than you think - even without revision. Just get Robert Fripp to lay down some guitar tracks in the background ...

The poem you've got here is pretty damn awesome though. I'm not sure you'd need to change it for any other reason beyond your own satisfaction.

I guess New Hampshire isn't as laid back as many think! No pun intended.
