we drive by
there she is
perfectly proportioned
for a size 2
left hip out
right arm on her hip
left arm at her side
head cocked so she's looking
at something over her left shoulder
she looks like
a little 1st grader's
half finished art project
she has the outline of everything
but no color
her hair changes
different wig every week
dressed for the season
what a dull life
standing like that
how uncomfortable
she's not alive
people say
I think for other people who can't
her skin
pale white for a reason
she doesn't get any sun
her ears aren't complete
for she spends all her time
in the soundproof glass box
with the porcelain dog
the fake fall leaves
how lonely
must be Ms. Manequin

Wow, what a perfect description of that scene. I can picture it and bring it into my own life. I can't wait to see one now!
