You have that
Lifetime Television
special quality
you should be
on CBS, NBC
FOX that you are
I don’t know
why you waste
your time
wearing
modest sweaters
and sensible shoes
when the strip mall
is your catwalk
and surely
any Hollywood shark
would tell you
that the world
is your oyster
and any sofa
you sit upon
instantly becomes
a casting couch
for every door
has always opened
and every bedroom
door closed
for you
but unfortunately
the camera in
our eyes
will always
love you
more than
you love
yourself
