two new bras because I've grown from 34B to 36B overnight and I tried them on and I'm wearing the blue one now and it's killing me oh god I bet I'm a 38B you can only find 38B bras in clearance bins in hell why can't I be a normal, sexy 36C like Marilyn Monroe or a whatever size Jayne Mansfield was busting out of a strapless red gown or a 36A like Patti Smith scrawny and scrappy a singular poet who doesn't give a rat's ass about lipgloss or padding but I do care about lipgloss and padding and what strangers feel when they see me because I am needy like that greedy for all the glamor I can grab with my grubby graceful hands and I walked around today in my Wal-Mart men's sweater and old blue jeans with the Joan of Arc pendant dangling on a silver chain around my neck washing away the menstrual blood stains looking at the white packing peanuts on the den floor listening to "Jane Says" wondering what she represents to the guy who wrote it wondering if I've ever inspired any songs or even radio commercials because I am inane and vain wallowing in the ordinary while dreaming of the divine. |
