Ampersand
With my legs strong, two feet apart
Poser, poser, a quick photo opportunity
From front page through to pages four and ten
With my tail wrapped around my feet
And my coat hanging from my head
With my unbearable youth and
The thick black out denier, coating my ego
With a fine line between prostitute
And masked wonder commercialized
Villainous intent hanging off the ampersand
The you plus one, the afterthought with
Lichtenstein eyes and hair, perfectly plucked
Into leather and the public eye, imagination
Crested with your insignia, the sponsor's emblem
Emblazened as I run around in circles
Always the sequel to your trigger happy frontier
