Not Enough

I'm not enough
    not enough smooth, tanned leg
    not enough painted toenails
    not enough bathing beauty
              for the pool

I'm not enough
    not enough honey voice
    not enough soaring passion
    not enough tight clothing
              for a star

I'm not enough
    not enough intellectual
    not enough depression
    not enough smarts
             for a writer

So tell me, you of the tanned leg
          and the honey voice
          and the quick comebacks
How do i survive in your world?
