This ones a public collage made today, not quite a puppet but soon to inspire one. Thank you to the united states postal system, without you some very important documents would not of been postmarked and sent today.
Mirror Mirror
I want to know whoever first told you
your beauty could be measured in a lousy
piece of glass
written in crayon above the mirror in my dorm room,
a statement i wish could procreate, multiply
and take over each mirror in turn until
each beveled piece of glass
one by one
like the general marching his troops over some
green land while it sleeps
so when it wakes it's
suddenly changed.
Because you are beautiful
and no reflection does you justice.
A reflection only hopes to be you one day
but right now it can't,
it distorts slightly, slightly again, and one more time
until your image is altered in your own mind
But baby girls, hold on to the image i see
Let me paint you a picture with my words
so you can see in your own mind's eye
that you are
breathtaking.
