The plain have their stories
As well as the beautiful.
Traversing life
regular-featured, acne-marked,
wide-hipped, sharp-nosed,
big-eared, short-legged,
greasy-haired, big-breasted,
chip-toothed, flat-chested;
disproportionate and asymmetrical
their loves and hates collide
taking out, with the finesse
of a nuclear bomb,
the structures of their lives.
Yet are there no headlines,
nobody tells their tale,
doubly mortal,
they lie in unmarked graves.
