Lolita's Logic

Frames of navy night sky sparkle, her glasses Reminisce on stricter times, nineteen forty eight A generation before Jimmy Hendrix liberation Prior to gyrations from tight crotch crooner Women without an inheritance would struggle Menial jobs taken on, still society frowned upon Independence, thus encouragement to link existed Father substitutes sought out by sorrowful youth Amusing imp, as quick to pout as to smile Stirred strangely eroticism with simple antics Erratic her dance, alluring her firey tantrums Lost in wanting better love, engrossing plight Instinct like that of wobbly Bambi stretches limbs Sprinkled in Summer lawn abandon, carefree unfurl Flicks tiny traumas aside, a childhood culpable Absence aches in her chest like necessity Little lady of burden smudges beasts with kohl Sketches a future of picket fence flowers tall Daddy provides sanctum her unheard heart calls for Distance dissolves, eloined on island of illegal union Bubblegum pop, impatience dressed in playsuit Her fickle requirements are infantile outlines Bumps in road don't dislodge her admiration Grim portrait rebellion saved for another decade 23rd January
