Caricature

Rage ricochets and ratchets-

Shattering

Miserable, mundane melancholy.

She works in extremes.

(Histrionics)


Performing emotional pastiche,

From the Bold and the Beautiful and Disney Classics,

A copy-paste from Wikipedia.

Posters on bent cardboard like in the third grade.

(Clumsy)


The delicate subtleties of life-

The smoothness of skin, the stillness of sunsets;

The colours of it,

Missing

Behind a TV screen,

(Or thick lenses)


She is rendered a caricature

(Of herself)
