SHE’S NO PICASSO

Not for her;
misshapen limbs,
contorted charms,
one eye higher than the other.

She may not know if she is art
but knows full well what she likes.
You won’t see her forward facing,
nose drawn sideways on,

fingers bunched like bananas.
As if embarrassed to show her hands
so deformed, she hides them both
beneath her arms.
