SKIN DEEP

^© Michael Franz Whitby

The license plate should have read

Beacon:

Because of all the visible warnings

Transmitting from the object

The object of desire

Total navigation by eye sight

And oh-boy

Fire or ice

The warning light lit-up

Easy on the eyes

The eyes that caught a slight vision of a facial

The expensive automobile pulled in

To the only available parking space

Parking completed

The object walked

Such a beautiful woman

She looked well maintained

And a body that had been trained

Trained to obey

Watching the way she moved

The fascination was solely on her

Looks like the creator

Our creator had spent a bit more time on this Eve

The dark side had not gotten to her

Since her time on earth

That was good!

Some kind of beauty and perfection

Inside a shapely package

She returned towards her prestige automobile

And while in motion

She stopped

To spit onto the ground

The gum she was chewing

My heart sank

The dark side had gotten to her after all

The car started

She then proceeded to throw a water bottle

Through the open window as she backed out

Again to the ground

It rolled below the car

The tire crushed it

I became that bottle!

…reversing forward, future is history!

Interesting way to express a piece of poetry. It reads unique in comparison to many other writings I came across. Entertaining prose poem though I don't feel entirely satisfied with the structure but that's only my personal opinion. Other than that, I like the twist in it, she being totally different from he'd wished her to be, just another female stained with "the dark" as you've described it and him ending up destroyed by her and his expectations.
