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

Oh, frightful word scribed at the end
The finger-painting mannequin
Composed a message to his love,
From ink he’d made of his own blood!...

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!

her dancing was lifeless
mechanical stilted moves
she had no expression
eyes of a plastic mannequin
where was her joy?
did she like dancing?
her mother’s dream
never hers....

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...

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

Mannequin Man


Very sadly, a cleaner in
Kerry & Peter Department
Store in 
Elmwood Mall, that asleep 
Mannequin Man displayed clothes in, 
remembered he was half man hours after she’d stuffed him in the big incinerator bin.

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.

She speaks in camouflage
Concealing feelings and responses
A perfect porcelain face
Stiff, peachy and straight
Her eyes and chin give away nothing
She is a great poker player
No tells
Her complexion is nearly plastic
She is more mannequin than woman...

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...

We're closeted mannequins stuffed in a storage 
 bin. "No-Food" signs ignored by shoppers, their shared orange 

squirts juice. Our mannequin-custodial 
grins bar us from the lips' sweet 'oh'.

I move in anyway till French kisses hang
us in tangy wind chimes breezes tongue....
