Pretty Young Woman

See the pretty young woman
barely nineteen
being trimmed like a Christmas tree
An albino quesen bee
being preened by drones
She is a subliminal symphony
She is a feather in a hurricane
She is a dripping candle on a wedding cake
She is a woman before and after her time
She is a 300-year old vampire schoolgirl
She is soft and pretty
She is Massengill disposable douche
and perfumes made from the anal mucus of frightened leopards
She is soft and fine
like crimson wine
plucked and sipped
A flashing new wave neon sign
Stepping out time
As she walks
down
the
aisle
Her dress like the face of a carnival mime
As she hides her feline smile
behind her veil
from the sea of tearful faces
as they finalize the sale.
