Poetry Wears a Mask

Poetry is like a prostitute 
Wearing a tight 
Pink flamingo skirt,
Red high heels, with 
Black fish net stockings,
Standing on a street corner, 
Waiting for the next customer, 
To make a purchase

Man, poetry is a ****, 
She hits you in the gut
While she earns her pay,
She put on the red light display
When she removes her clothes,
Then, poetry wears a mask
