Yesterday’s Muse

She hides
and so well
behind
a makeshift
faΓ§ade
of feigned
innocence,
hippy chick
tie dyed tops
and her
collection of
old torn
Victorian
lace ..
She lives in
some
kind of
smoke free,
and sterile
world of
gold gilded
fantasies ..
Yet she sucks
on Marlboro
lights
and tells lies ..
The kind
that only
a spoilt child
or psychopath
might tell
on a bad hair
day ..
She cries a lot
too at
the drop of
a hat ..
She still goes
to church on
Sundays tho’ ..
Between
giving head,
that is
and making
bread,
that is
for old ladies ..
Which
just about
sums up
yesterdays
muse
and so perfectly ..

'giving head,

and making
bread,
that is'

Favourite lines because isn't that what humans do...try to maintain an acceptable image? Making bread in the kitchen being acceptable, giving head in the kitchen maybe not so to the neighbour knocking at the patio doors. Maybe the most interesting ( and honest? ) characters in life stopped caring what the word thinks long ago or maybe never had the capacity to care in the first place. Maybe that's exactly why we are fascinated and...entrapped...by them. When you really think about it isn't most 'mental health' simply an inability to fit into 'the norm'
