on the ideal

her aeolian features were too much to shrug off
every grain of them
too much like a black and white photograph from the dust bowl
with people faking smiles for the camera
and posturing at the ideal of "it's gonna be alright"
the one that catches the eye...she...her...
smugly sighing "this sucks, it really sucks...
...this is hell...i don't belong here...but, it's real...and i'll be alright"
