Ordinary Woman

You want me to be like her?
she who wears a smile
made of sugar
& ties her hair in a plait
& has a featureless face
& wears nondescript clothes
& has a colourless personality
& smiles & smiles & smiles
till the sugar melts
like her?
O     No
Even if you have ensured I am
totally buried
under all her kind
her copies her photostats
I'm no ordinary woman
you ∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽ see
I'm extraordinary.
