She’s so beautiful – what do we mean?
Greek Goddess: silky hair, slim waist:
Can start a war.
What about the others?
Odd shapes, crooked teeth, bulging bellies:
Are they beautiful, too?
Each face with a story to tell.
Bag of Fritos in the check-out line:
Where do they go afterwards?
What does home look like?
Private pain, joy, and wonder:
Ain’t that beautiful, too?
