you’re a sad girl —
you don’t smile enough.
you’re a bad girl —
you comment too much.
you’re a threat, girl —
you laugh too loud.
stay pet and sit still, girl —
bow that head, speak only when allowed.
you know, you would be so pretty,
if only you just
let your brain be
lighter,
like moldy bread,
let your thoughts expire.
I always enjoy a brown face,
set against a hollow head.
