Icing decorations:
Tulle tutu.
She spins and spins like sugar.
Tutu tulle.
Confectionery light pink frugal
Sugar for baking,
For dancing,
For spinning around her.
Like the sprocket wheel of
A desperate housewife in a condo gym.
Bugger.
Rugger. Ruggering balls, kicked around her,
Buffeting her like a prawn in a 10 dollar buffet.
Macho men eating nachos, cheesing off, edible fair.
For baking,
For fasting,
For fluttering around her.
Like the dustless wing of
A desperate moth under children power.
Buffalo wings.
Under the icing decorations:
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice, and all that's nice;
That's what little girls are made of."
What are little boys made of?
"Snaps and snails, and puppy-dog's tails;
That's what little boys are made of."
A.
