plasticity
their cropped faces
move sideways
with blank eyes
blank minds
clean teeth
& Crest smiles.
their crossed noses
broken bones
& collagen cold lips
have frozen
their expressions.
their piety for the knife
is the ice pack diary
of chipped tooth
& cracked nail.
their fish bowl lenses
make their world
distorted as bubbles
& they can only see forward
if they stand sideways
& view the world
peripherally.
their plastic youth
kills their faith in nature
and the dead they used to know
is upside down & belly-up
bloated & tucked.
their jobs
are getting jobs
are getting jobs
are getting jobs
and now all the jobs
are taken.
their x-ray vision
their frost-bitten features
their Starbucks perceptions
are turning Plane Jane’s
into solid gold.
