My Body is not a Commodity
My body is not a commodity,
To hold and then throw away.
To smile at, and then throw away. To laugh at and dance around.
To dress up, hat and hair first.
To dress up as, face and nose first.
I know I am naked to you.
An item with a tag.
A button holding onto a thread on a sleeve.
Cover me with a suit, And then another, And then another, And then another. ‘Till I can’t breathe anymore.
You like it better that way. It fits your idea perfectly Of what fashion is.
