Barbie For Worse

Barbie on her knees, over the toilet. Ken pulls back her hair. Skipper and Midge share love and support. Barbie went on to wear wigs and bandanas, her hair in the sink, sagging marshmallow breasts. Big days were sitting in a cancer circle waiting for coffee and cookies to pass. Barbie hasn’t seen the light for days, her pink cadillac out of gas. 10/20/2020
