Body Shy of Age

Physique in denial, irritating to bouncers her numbers-to-flesh comparison on the radio is a smash hit this ice, in a hot summer still slowly melts making age-stunt her most engaging hobby boys, half her age come to display lame tactics her metabolism functions with slow engines as the bolts of her aging are yet unscrewed another reason for the planet to baffle, after Pharell Williams “I’m thirty nine” the most of her answers after her name envy suffocates her mates as they beg for her genes faith in using the pressed oil from her skin may be factual and never should be underrated this adult in teenager’s skin still feeds her organs with mama’s milk.
