Prompt...Renewable
I'm a bit of a whizz at house renovation
but when it comes to makeovers
I'm reluctant
by conventional fashion dictates
I should be walking around with
a bag over my head I need
new hair,new figure,new skin
new feet,face lift,bum tuck,
white teeth and botox
Why don't I?
Well apart from joining the
soma induced brave new world brigade
I'm far too vain
Besides, with tampering
you will never know all
the cycles of a life
So many automatons stuck fast
forever looking pre middle aged
(unless you get up close and personal )
missing the whole event
I've decided if you going to be alive
you may as well know what it's like
warts and all
Youth culture relentlessly pushed at us isn't so great
the youth aren't that mad about it either
judging by the looks I was getting at the
hardware store this morning
Boy,that's a worry
I love using the idea of plastic surgery as renewal! Well done.
ReplyDeleteOr NOT having plastic surgery as a type of renewal....this is a very good and clear manifesto on how insane it is to attempt perpetual youth!
