Boo boo pi doo

she wore the ' presidents ' dress,
although it was no contest,
there's non better than the original hostess - Marilyn

She owned it.
No one else ever will..
We are more than clothes,
we are rhythm and bones,
Cantankerousies..
Anxieties..
and silences .

Above all we are unique
imitation is fake..plastic
although we graciously accept
the flattery

Hey PAULINE!!....I love the intent of this piece.....accepting ourselves for who we are is soooo important......and I love the way you conveyed it......I just watched a MARILYN documentary on Netflix yesterday!!....strange how that happens in life.....and I have to agree with you.....the reason she is still so popular to this day is because she was NOT fake!!.....and a much better actress than most people give her credit for!!......ALL STARS!!.....a truly compelling write/read my friend!!....Bravo!!.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo  : )
