for Sis.

A Poem by h d e rushin

 

 

 

Historically, nightingale bird droppings were used by geisha's to whiten the skin

marred by the overuse of makeup. Today, human placenta facials, when applied as

directed, will wipe years off you're existence; yes, even those hours spent weeping

in the car after heartache in the half-light, chain smoking till the moon and doom had

disappeared. Even the laugh lines, like aqueducts to a Chinese city, long as a great wall

could be made soft. The stressed out woman in New York said she reclined to the aroma of

camellia, lavender and rose and even the poop smelled of toasted rice. With the warning,

of course, that for optimum results,

for true beauty like Helen of Sparta,

 

not any old, Central Park

bird s**t will do.

Is bird s**t magical?

Not sure if it will end up wiping off years of our existence; 'even those hours spent weeping
in the car after heartache in the half-light, chain smoking till the moon and doom had
disappeared. Even the laugh lines, like aqueducts to a Chinese city, long as a great wall
could be made soft.'

I laughed at the end. :)

you aren't a detroit man, but some kind of universal deity living in clouds watching us rain

"Even the laugh lines, like aqueducts to a Chinese city, long as a great wall" What a great simile you employed here. Not sure I would want any bird s**t....from Central Park or elsewhere....near my face or placenta either. However, lots of women...and men...will do anything for the promise of looking younger. A very interesting write, Dana. Lydi**
