Wind-Up Dolls Poem by Casey Renee Kiser / snail viXen

rub it on your face
instant beauty
cover, cover, cover

place it on your tongue
instant smile
refill, refill, refill

fall in love against your will
instant fascination
dream, obsess, possess

watch it on television
it must be the latest fashion
convince yourself, convince a friend

watch it on television (on and on)
religion of entertainment
misery is fabulous, just not your own

watch it in the mirror
years collecting dust
deny, resist, break down
