Neglected Poem by anais vionet

Neglected

Rating: 5.0


I'm sporting this new lipstick
it won't fade, smudge or smear
I'll be lucky if it wears off this year.

I've got this new eyeliner that's like
a luxurious, glittering, penciled tattoo
Leong said, "How do you get it off you? "

I unpacked these chemical wonders
to see if they've lost their luster
by being neglected since last summer.

When you study too much, you feel pent-up,
so my compadres and I chose to get dolled-up,
rolling-up to dinner, like beauty queens on parade,
and not just sophomore scrubs trying to make the grade.

Were the 'chemical wonders' NOT the only neglected things? I read the title and thought of a person being neglacted. Did you perhaps think that YOU had been neglected, you SCRUB? !
