Mint Condition

A barbie doll is worth a mint
if it is in it's box,
never touched,
never opened,
but also
never loved
or played with.
The Mint barbie
has perfect hair
never fussed with,
brushed
or
adored.
And I ask this question---
how can it be worth so much
if no one ever bothered
to love it in the first place?
