Steel and wood combined as one
Oaken mannequin....

He left her
Undressed

Sad on the 
Floor

The tired youngeon 
Lost

Alas, no more
Gone....

It would be great to be a mannequin, 
For they never put on weight, 
But for me, it's too late.

Behind those fake eyes


my mannequin life

egg hatched, I stayed in the shell

outcast, dumb folded

Granny was looking for a man
Her eyes were set on a mannequin stand
Slid over to touch
Reach down in his crutch
Then realized that he had a stiff hand...

Oh, once again!  A cry!
Two-legged creatures 
Making love under sheets
and that last sigh!

A mannequin releasing
its last plastic breath!

In the lingerie dept. stiff as a board,
a man came up and ogled and explored,
struck another pose,
right in the nose,
man passing flat out on the floor.

Vatican Incident - Limerick 

A young maiden dressed like a mannequin 
Snuck into the church at the Vatican
To curse at the pontiff 
So they called the sheriff  
She would not be invited back again...

mannequin

more I look away
not do ever have to say
the stillness so stocks
alas my resistance starts
you who are dead to me, move

Multi talented American Man Ray
with Dada&Surrealism had much to say
His famous jointed mannequin*
was perhaps not the place to begin

How many of you remember “The Ed Sullivan Show”
The latest talent emceed by a mannequin like troll
Neck always seemed sore
Think he once swore
All the latest acts appeared on this Sunday night casserole...

A mannequin stands  
in the neon of night
head slightly canted
harlequin-right
fashionably clothed
in the brand-names of youth
arms shiny rods
with no digits forsooth
if able I think
his thumb he would raise
and he’d give me a wink.

Have you seen the mannequin parade?
In the window of the fancy store?
Yes, that’s the one
What did you think of it?

I kind of love it because I made it.
He smiled at me.
He knows how creative I am
And how much fun I must have.
Makes sense to me! He said....

Did you see the tiny elephant dancing on the mannequin’s head?
I look at this storyteller, my dear uncle, we call him Liar Fred.
Of course, I did I say, and he laughs until his face turns brilliant pink.
The elephant dances by and the mannequin gives us both a wink....

I only want to die,
I want to scream,
and to be a puppet
to never have to breathe.
I only want to freeze
I am about to freak
and to be a porcelain doll
to never have to speak.
I only want to sleep
I want forever again
and to never live,
to become a mannequin....

Dreams leak out of my mannequin head
My twisted plastic limbs are sprawled out on my bed
My expression ever frozen, in a dramatic pose
I'm not biodegradable but I want to decompose
A glue drop on my cheek to emulate a tear
I've been here 10 minutes or maybe 10 years...

Unlike then,
           he plants a kiss on her left cheek
                 repeats 'bye honey'
              pale numbness invades her
                  To the nearest chair
                        she drops
                            and 
                           muse....

Time ticks acute to oblivion
From the melancholy mannequin to love’s aquarium.
I kiss the last clown, the last frown
Our hearts drift inconspicuously into the unknown.

Phantom world, feel me!
Star by star we flick, to find the final Crown
May all be free, may all gain entree....

No blank page to scribe
No empty spaces to scream
Should I down on knee?

Too much to be seen
Exhibition life had shown 
Privacy in threat

Fortitude concealed
Scratching behind walls of heart
Endurance break down

Love deep, better not
Sacrifice all, better not
Your life, your option...

Wishful Watching

Voluptuous, soft curves, peek-a-boo with fine silk, “Come hither,” I hear.
An old woman observed me as undignified ilk, “It’s only a mannequin, dear.”

Am I even real?
Perhaps I'm just a
mannequin 
A statue of many
identities
Just none of her own
Dress me up
Or dress me down
Underneath it
all;nothing is real
But a frail frame
With no good fortune
Take me apart
Tear out my  heart
Shove me in the back
of the closet
Till I'm needed
again.....
