She Is Sci-Fi
She stripped off her
retro boots – ripped up
her non-descript Sunday suits,
trashed her ugly
dresses – burnt
the dark cuttings from
her tresses – now short
dyed ocean blue –
in futuristic design she
put on some devil horns and
a wrought iron spine of
prickly thorns –
square shades and
silver-glittered roller blades,
giant collar and shoulder fakes,
face paint and wings of snakes –
open jawed,
she flew with higher birds, and
with her sabre sword she carved out
the words in the sky –
I am sci-fi.
