Black Eyeliner Girl

So, I’m sitting at this red light and I look over to spot a 35 miles to the gallon hybrid Honda and I spot her A young, bleached blonde Maybelline black eyeliner girl with an Apple Ipod crammed into her (pierced 4 times) small ears The cords are knotted around her neck and I don’t think she notices I’m staring, thinking she looks hard for, what, a 14 or 15 year old? Then I spot her parents Google eyed, coke bottle glasses And looking like they waited a few years before they had their kid cool-less and clueless about what it’s like to be a Maybelline black eyeliner girl in today’s jacked up world with school shootings, ecstasy laced hallways and her half naked photos on My Space Cause you can tell they’re only thinking about taxes and what good gas mileage their expensive Hybrid is getting And never thinking their misunderstood pop culture Princess, crammed in the small back seat, is wondering how the hell she ended up with such dorky parents? And wondering if it would be easier to swallow some pills, shoot herself, or just ask for the money for the abortion Either way, I hope her parents get a tight grip Cause her Maybelline black eyeliner is running, her mind is racing, and the light just turned green
