If only she

Written by the trainstation

Her skirt

Shockingly short

For the office

 

Her top

Too see-through

For her age

 

Her nose

Pitifully crooked

Don’t you agree

 

If only she were a bit different

we would have an easier time

packaging some manufactured respect

to sell her.

I'm not sure about the "don't you agree" line, for everything else seems a little more to the point and being grand in doing so, but that one line just calls attention to itself despite adding to the theme and message. but that's just my opinion. The poem itself is brilliant! Short and powerful. Well done!

-- ah... yes... the prevalence of patriarchy... how can it be ignored...?

-- very well portrayed... i like the expression "packaging manufactured respect"...
