Supergirl Loses Her Cape
Ever lostsomething special?
Whispered
where the hell are you?
to the clasp on your bra?
Left your underwear
under there?
Life as a paper doll
is more paper cut
than paper play.
Ever tried getting dressed
with your head ripped off?
Without a shoulder
to lie on
blouses slip off
scarves recoil
capes nosedive.
(Maybe that's where it went.
Hung
on some guy's nose.)
Don't blame the other guy.
When the wooly caterpillar
goes black,
you know the bookworms
can't be far behind.

Wow, that's an interesting and funny piece. Hanging of guy's noses, I love that line!
I am super glad I don't have to worry where my paper bras are but underpants and cotton socks do often go amiss.
I would be delighted if you would join my weekly Poetry Prompt.
