Blah With a Bra

bridal gowns bring me down
too much wedding cake
this year
too many insipid conversations
I was a loser, a curiousity
for awhile there
When Will She Settle Down? Is she Gay? Frigid? A Random Witch?
now I'm cool and accepted and deemed sane/okay/womanly
'cause I'm engaged to be married
instant acceptance into the Girls Club
fun fun fun
let's talk about spas and diets and the Cayman Islands
and 100 Ways to Please Your Man
let's discuss lingerie
let's ponder the exquisite merits of cunnilingus
blah blah blah
I'm an alien in disguise
bored and removed
and madly in love
with my coterie of invisible friends.
