Pretty Girls Have It The Hardest


Pretty Girls Have It The Hardest

Pretty girls must find it pretty tough –
You know
Being blind, deaf and dumb.

Everywhere they look
They see nothing.
Except smiles –
Brilliantly blinding
Devilishly dark
Like startling stars
Floating
Side by side
(A     million     miles     of
Inky evening skies between each) –
An optical illusion.

Every time they listen
They hear nothing.
Except flattery –
Sensuously streaming
Deafeningly drowning
Like watery waves
Crashing
One after another
(Sweetly
Submerging
Terrestrial truths below sea level) –
Something fishy.

Everything they say
Means nothing.
Except sex –
Passion pure
Loveless lust
Like thirsty ticks
Biting
Host after host
(Simple slaves to nature
Always at your side) –
Friends with needs.

Who can tell
Lovers from liars
Being blind, deaf and dumb?
