Pale Daughters 4

Pale daughters wash between their ears always requiring a shine playing chicken They ignore the red traffic lights claiming they want a real life A life without jewels They jostle for manufactured joys Tempus Fugit How they age disgracefully hollow like a shell They gain your trust then play cat and mouse Viva la difference in reverse they are only harvesters of an autumnaless garden
