if you think i’m crazy you should meet my sister
what ever happened to baby Jane? sitting in my finery
in the park in deep thought go ahead take a shot
which one is she Baby Jane or sister Blanche?
she likes the company of gentlemen beautiful+succubus
goddess of homefires +the mystery the mystery that is
Shomedy a haven for druggies
+middle class families in the 50’s drugs of choice valley
of the dolls redux xanax valium +benzo all chanel+kenzo
my aunt lived there gave me my first Barbie
a deadringer for her except for the lonnnng legs+tinywaist
no not those it was the redmouthed longing to not be plastic
to not be bound in a striped maillot for eternity
these reminded me of Shirley
(whose husband invented the bikini..)
but auntie is not the goddess to whom i refer
go ahead infer
so which one is she Baby Jane or Blanche?
What’s the difference? as Tom Petty quipped
pre kissing the sky
