Little Story

the girl chopped off her hair one day
it was blond and straight and silky
but she cut it short and
permed it and
dyed it dog-crap brown
the girl got brown contacts one day
to cover her brilliant blue eyes
she also got glasses
with thick lenses
the girl had reverse liposuction done one day
she also ate a lot of fattening food and
never exercised and
had surgery to shorten her long skinny legs
the beautiful girl uglified herself one day
just for the heck of it
to see what living like the other kind was like
so she could have even more mixed pity and contempt for them
but wait a second
this is the real world
like THAT would ever happen in reality
