Subject: fragment - Golden Girl (working title)

Hey guys, some criticism/analysis would be nice on this one... I found random bits of it written down by my own hand in my notebook, but I'm not sure when I first concieved of it... I hope you are all well.
the Lady,
aka Jennie







Golden Girl


So you've given yourself the painful childhood
all the stories told you you needed,
Gave yourself a bite of that poisoned apple too -
better to stay that Golden Girl with that -
than grow to be a woman of knowledge or, heaven forbid, wisdom.



And now you sit and wait for some "prince";
tall, dark, handsome - but not all that true.
False, but present, is always better with you;
You don't want him really anyways,
just the Golden Life you've been told to want...



You'd rather him pour it into your sunken belly
- your hearth is too weak to carry it -
than have a real conversation,
unscripted, unplanned, unknown...
and completely unimagined.



But there's something you should know
my little waiting Golden Girl,
that I've wanted to tell you for a long time -

Glass coffins stunt your growth
just as much as those cigarettes in your hand.
