Manhattan Mega Beauty

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

If you are beautiful enough, why take

The trouble to be decent, doing good

Like saintly Francis or Saint Clare?  Just shake

Your curls as any pretty person should.

Just walk along the carpet, heart-blood red,

While turning eyebrows slightly, left and right,

Cause swoons around by turning of your head.

Don’ bother looking into eyes.  The sight

Alone of you will be enough to kill

Unwary chests.  Your style, of course, must stun.

This combination spell brings on the spill

Of adoration.  Stun is overdone.

  Your limousine of gold outside the Met

    Is now forgotten.  You we can’t forget.
