Body of Lies
Upon the font of a photograph
the full frontal magazine
slick press and press up
muscles in paper cut
the shape
the form
the make up
exponent of the elastic wonder push up
Squeeze the stone
for one drop of inspirations blood
should look like that
should program to that
such a tailored beauty
to ripple succulent
in proportions sexual
defines this image by its subtlety
And each craving fad of a plastered ad
for the supine dictator
upon a screen
a magazine
leads all to unwarranted perfection
flawless individual attention
to a colourless world
in the mirrors domain of one reflection
Saved by digital contortion
a world of demographic fashion
think
feel
appeal
fit the puzzle of the peg
into a brand and live by its label
be an individual
Body image of a photograph
the full frontal publisher
designs its cancer
press up to muscles up
in paper cut the shape
the form be made up in make up
elastic wonder of who they are not
Dissatisfaction for the promises of lies
those celluloid images of the selective prize
lay one ounce of fat
one judgments depiction of the ugly
sneers aloof in disdainful cruelty
and by its body
sells
the destruction and construction
of individuality
