FIXED SOULS

Chic to chic, waif-like dolls
are sticking needles in their soles.

With pin-pricks, wounds that can’t be seen
they’re shot and fixed in their deathly dream.
Android creatures cruise the nights
on catwalks dimmed with glittered lights.

Chic to chic, waif-like dolls
are sticking needles in their soles.

Their bellies filled with a lettuce leaf
watered down with quick relief.
So skinny they no longer bleed
claiming, fame is all they need.

Chic to chic, waif-like dolls
are sticking needles in their soles.

Those who one loved rounded hips
now drool over protruding ribs.
Feeding the hunger of wealthy passion
starving women are all the fashion.

Chic to chic, waif-like dolls
are sticking needles in their soles.
