\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The fit is not flattering\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nShe mouths their murmurs
\nto the reflection before her.
\nEyes scan a faintly familiar figure.
\nOf crossed legs, brushed hair, slouched shoulders.
\nIt is her, it is she, it is me.
\nA miss-fit.<\/p>\n

Clean contours of plastic perfection
\nSupport, mould the reformed body,
\nan ivory bust
\nan empire waistline awaits its ruler.
\nThe patchwork of metal and fabric croak.
\nIt is her, it is she, it is me.
\nA miss-fit.<\/p>\n

She inches towards the mirror
\nInhales the clinical scent of new merchandise
\nExamines the blurry fingerprints of those before her
\nSmeared across the reflection of her body.
\nA palimpsest of hourglass dreams.
\nIt is her, it is she, it is me.
\nA miss-fit.<\/p>\n

Mascara lashes fall softly
\nLacquered lips press against the cold glass.
\nFarewell distorted distant stranger.
\nAnd hello nice to see you again old friend.
\nMiss Fists crushes the glass apparition
\nIn a splendid reckoning of femme fury.
\nIt is her, it is she, it is me.
\nA miss-fit.<\/p>\n
