for Understatement "
by Suzán Jiván
for Lester Mobley
Not known
for under-
statement
in a slimmer
midcentury
after offering
a peak
at a defyingly
freaky
femme fatale
while toeing
the line
despite
streamlining
in lightweight
makeup
"Beauty
is pain"
taken away
in rotation
as the lipstick
of the day
with blotting
papers
and lip balm
from a robot
in flip-flops
Saying, "No"
to dark spots
thrown
into the wash
after a party
of the majority
then on to eyedrops
and a brightening wand...
