Jennifer Lee
Jennifer Lee
Was a flower girl in her young age
When her parents still loved each other
Or rather they were just better at pretending
She wore a blue dress and a buck-toothed smile
And today
She wears a newsboy cap and a cigarette
She works hard for nothing
And blames her father
Who she desperately despises
So, her life consists of ersatz energy and nicotine
While she is so far away from her juvenile days
She is not dressed in blue
And her front teeth fit inside of her surly lips
But the imprint of flowers she dealt
Is forever burned into her golden skin
