Barbie Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Barbie

Windows full
-are covered
-with the toys of colours
-and choices
-of robots
-among them Star Wars'
-to Barbie, Teddy Bear
-and Bride's-Pink-Kitchen
-to the cars
-varied are the models
-different; different
-some remote control…

Purchase is out of box
-batteries inserted
-and child gets excited
-runs to left and to right
-up and down
-car hits sides of the legs
-of tables and sofas…

Then next day and next day
-batteries lose power
-the speed slows down

And next day
-First or more
-all are dead…

-Daddy please
-Mom please
He cries once twice
-gets nowhere

Finally
Changes game is

-it is like marriage
Someone said;
-yesterday!
