brownie points

     So I'm Beautiful and Smart
         and Caustic
      so I slurp at it
        and try hard
    so I tell him my secrets
      and show him my things
   so I shine, Jesus, shine
      and like a shy virgin
     turn from him
    as my heart turns
     like a pinwheel
 and my eyes light up
    like a pinball machine
   so I'm the Queen of Everything
     with my Gibson Girl face
   and black lace bra
  so I've got an IQ of 147
    and nails that have claimed
   his skin
     so I'm courageous
     so I'm good
  I am not her
    and I
    am not
     His.
