I\u2019m not stupid.
\nSure, I chew gum,
\nmy hair\u2019s a blonde fire,
\nI walk in French curves,
\nI laugh on cue,
\nand my laugh is a stupid laugh.<\/p>\n
I never get it,
\nwhat those small violent men
\ndo to flesh.
\nI never got it.
\nI\u2019m the three monkeys in one.<\/p>\n
Oh, I get my dresses,
\nmy perfoom, my endless drinks;
\nand I drink until I finally talk back.
\nThen the open hand flies
\nand a red negative explodes in my head.<\/p>\n
Dependably ditzy,
\nalways available,
\nhe leans on me
\nmore than I on him
\nas we saunter
\nto the hotel.<\/p>\n
Endlessly replaceable,
\nuniquely the same,
\nI am moll.
\nAnd the movie-goers
\nmiss my real name
\nas the credits roll.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
